Meghan Markle ‘Took Different Approach’ In Style After Royal Wedding, Says Expert

Meghan Markle has reportedly taken a different approach when it comes to her style since she became the Duchess of Sussex.

Melita Latham, a fashion designer, stylist, and the owner of the luxury travel brand Melita Latham London, told Express that Prince Harry’s wife has undergone a huge transformation not only in her fashion choices but also in her life.

“The Duchess’ style has changed over the last few years, and though the last year has had a lot to do with royal protocol, I think she’s experimenting with style to find one that fits. Meghan has had a lot of changes in her life, especially in the last few years. In the US, when working on ‘Suits,’ she was very much the all-American girl,” she said.

Latham said that Markle’s style at that time may be described as sleek, chic, relaxed, and simple. She typically wore trousers, dresses, and blouses. But when she started dating Prince Harry, Markle had to undergo changes because all eyes were on her as the newest addition to the royal family.

“Not only has she had to deal with and meet royal protocol, including wearing tights and selecting colors to honor visiting countries and the commonwealth, there is also a huge difference in both UK and American fashion, which I’m sure has been an adjustment. That, paired with royal protocol, can’t be easy to adjust to,” the expert said.

In related news, Latham said that it is also not surprising that Markle’s style is being compared with Kate Middleton’s fashion choices. She said that the comparisons will most likely continue until after Markle gives birth in the spring of 2019.

“The young royals are changing the way we perceive the royal family, and like Catherine Middleton, who has changed both law and tradition, Meghan is paving the way for a less rigid appearance. I’m sure that she has probably had a lot of say in her style choices and we know that she’s defied the Queen a couple of times in the outfits she’s stepped out in,” she said.
