Meghan Markle’s latest Netflix project, With Love, Meghan, has sparked fresh conversations — not just about her life in Montecito, but also about her fashion choices.
The Duchess of Sussex has often been described as a woman of contradictions, and her new show seems to highlight that. In the past, Meghan openly spoke about feeling restricted by royal fashion rules, especially the unwritten expectation to wear neutral tones. She even admitted in the Harry & Meghan docuseries that she rarely wore bright colors as a working royal, claiming she didn’t want to outshine senior members of the family.
But in With Love, Meghan, viewers noticed something interesting: she’s gone back to those very same neutrals. From soft oatmeal sweaters to simple beige dresses, Meghan is embracing styles that echo her royal wardrobe.
For example, in 2020 she was seen at Canada House in a muted bronze and neutral outfit — a look that is mirrored in her new series with a neutral Zara dress and a luxury cashmere wrap. Likewise, her famous 2018 Wimbledon striped shirt reappears in her Montecito kitchen scenes, and her burgundy royal co-ord look seems reborn in a similar outfit on the show. Even her monochrome striped dress from the Australia tour makes a subtle comeback in her new series.
So, what does this mean? Some royal watchers see it as a contradiction, while others say it’s simply Meghan being true to her personal style. Perhaps it’s less about control now and more about choice — she is free to wear what she wants, without the pressures of palace life.
At the end of the day, Meghan Markle continues to spark debate. Her style, like her life, is full of contrasts. Love her or hate her, one thing is clear — you can’t ignore her.
