The Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton cannot travel, even interstate, without an entirely black outfit in her luggage.
In fact, no one in her family can.
The reason is simple: because what if someone dies.
If the Queen died, for example, they all must show respect be wearing the colour of mourning. It would be unthinkable for any member of the Royal family to leave the house in colour following the loss of the Queen.
When Diana and Charles were on a skiing trip to the Alps, Diana’s father died and the family all had black clothing packed for the flight back to England.
In the past, some Royals haven’t been so prepared. When the Queen’s father died, she was on safari in Kenya with her husband Philip, and no one was allowed to photograph the pair until they were dressed entirely in black.

I wear black a lot anyway. Mourning the death of common sense in the world.
Old fashioned traditions still go on. i wonder how much excess baggage would cost them if they actually had to pay it though?!
You mean excess baggage for one black dress?
No I mean in general with all the stuff they take, not just one extra black dress
