Buckingham Palace has issued a ridiculous dress code to American journalists (who are known for dressing down) who want to cover Prince William and Duchess Kate's visit to the US this weekend.
The royal couple are expected to visit the USA on December 7 and 8 and are rumoured to be meeting Jay-Z and Beyoncé at a basketball game. The Duke will then travel alone to Washington to attend an anti-corruption conference at the World Bank.
Palace guidelines state that journalists should wear smart attire at all times "out of respect" and warns that "casually dressed members of the media will be turned away".
