13 rare photos of the royals wearing fancy dress costumes

Back when they were dating, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle enjoyed a night out in Toronto with Harry's cousin, Princess Eugenie and Eugenie's husband, Jack Brooksbank. 

The foursome went incognito to a post-apocalyptic-themed Halloween party, with the group donning masks and heavy makeup. 

Prince Harry revealed in his memoir, Spare, that he had borrowed his friend and actor Tom Hardy's entire Mad Max costume for his incognito night out with Meghan in 2016.

"The whole kit. He'd given it all to me before I left Britain, and now I tried it on in Meg's little bathroom. When I came out, she roared with laughter," Harry wrote.

Princess Eugenie shared a sweet snap of her then eight-month-old son August dressed up as a blue monster for Halloween 2021."Wonder what they are talking about.." she captioned the photo showing the tot playing with a yellow Minion teddy.

Taken in her pre-royal days, Princess Kate rocked what appeared to be a glamorous witch outfit for a Halloween night out at Mahiki in 2007. She donned a sparkly dress, fishnet tights and knee-high boots, along with a black cape.

Beatrice was spotted at Annabel's Halloween party in October 2018, wearing a monochrome look with a bright lilac wig and a unicorn headpiece - very on trend! The royal finished off her costume with a touch of a sparkle on her accessories.  

Princess Madeleine and her family always go all-out for Halloween. 

For last year's effort, Madeleine and her husband Chris opted for Western-inspired cowgirl and cowboy looks, while Princess Leonore wore a pink gingham dress, Prince Nicolas donned a sweeping black cape and a scary mask, and youngest Princess Adrienne looked so sweet in a Princess Anna costume.
