Meghan Markle reveals why she always wore beige (and other neutral tones) as a royal

Prince Harry's wife has confessed in the Netflix documentary 'Harry and Meghan that the reason why she looks royal kept the same color trail

Both before, when she was a full-fledged active member, and now, away from the British Royal House, Meghan Markle's wardrobe has been and is the object of study for fashion experts. Faithful to the minimalist style and an absolute fan of mono-color looks, it is true that if we analyze and compare the way Meghan royal dresses with the independent Meghan, a substantial change can be seen in her wardrobe: from a color palette in neutral tones to embrace the high vibrations of vitamin colors.

It is evident that since 2020, the year of the announcement of the withdrawal of Harry and Meghan, we are facing a more daring Duchess of Sussex who boasts a powerful image and dressing room. Much had been said about this remarkable change, but until now the real and true reason was not known, let alone an explanation about it by the protagonist. Netflix has worked the miracle and Meghan Markle has told in one of the episodes of the documentary 'Harry and Meghan' why.

Specifically, the confession regarding his outfits as an asset to the British royal family occurred in chapter 3. An episode that, for those who have not yet seen it (and no, it is not our intention to make any spoilers), narrates Meghan's life from her childhood to her arrival in London as Prince Harry's fiancée.

If we go back in time and situate ourselves in those early years as a royal in which official commitments, either with the son of King Carlos III or alone, filled his daily schedule, it is easy to remember that beige and other shades of The same range, or also sober colors such as black and navy blue, dyed all of their outfits.

"As I understand it, you can never wear the same color as Her Majesty if it's a group activity, but you shouldn't wear the same color as other senior members of the family either," Meghan Markle began. Netflix documentary. "You had to think about it. So I was like... 'Well, what's one color they're probably never going to wear? Camel? Beige? White?'" she continues.

An argument is that of not competing stylistically with members of higher rank and, as a consequence, opting for those colors that Queen Elizabeth, Camila de Cornualles, or Kate Middleton would never wear, which adds to a secret personal reason. "I was wearing a lot of muted tones as well so I could go unnoticed. I didn't want to stand out. I tried to join that family trying to do everything possible to fit in. I didn't want to embarrass them," confesses Meghan Markle.

Thus, beige, camel, brown, and other varieties completely invaded Meghan Markle's wardrobe. A predilection that, in the words of the protagonist herself, was imposed by her protocol and that, over time, became the hallmark of her outfits during her years on English soil.

The same, tired and bored of dressing like this, Markle chose that unforgettable and impressive turquoise blue dress by Victoria Beckham to reappear in London in March 2020 and attend the Endeavor Awards ceremony with Prince Harry, two months after the announcement of her retreat and march to the United States.

From that moment on, and completely separated from the British Royal House, although she has maintained a simple line with refined patterns, the explosion of bright colors has been consummated in her looks day by day, act by act.

From Safiyaa's total red look with a gala dress to accompany her husband to the Mountbatten Festival that same March 2020, through her emerald green outfit by Emilia Wickstead for the last Commonwealth mass, until February of this year, when it premiered an asymmetrical gown in various shades of blue by Christopher John Rogers to collect an award at the NACCP Image Awards gala. It's a fact: Meghan now wants everything except to go unnoticed because of her outfits.
