During their four-day visit to Colombia, Meghan Markle has made headlines for her fashion choices, abandoning the “traditional royal silhouettes” she once embraced as a member of the Royal Family. According to royal fashion expert Rosie Harte, the Duchess of Sussex has opted for more modern and stylish outfits, moving away from the classic designs typically associated with royalty.

Over the first two days of the trip, Meghan showcased more than four different ensembles, each reflecting her personal style and narrative. Harte, author of The Royal Wardrobe: A Very Fashionable History of the Monarchy, explained that dressing as a public figure involves more than just selecting trendy brands or flattering silhouettes. It’s about curating a look that supports a broader message.

Harte noted that Meghan’s choice of designers, who align with her own story, demonstrates how her royal experience has shaped her approach to fashion. Unlike traditional royal tours, Meghan has avoided coat dresses, hats, and lace, instead favoring sleeker, more contemporary looks.

As Meghan continues to evolve her style, she also took time during the visit to express her admiration for the Invictus Games, a project close to Prince Harry’s heart. Despite stepping back from royal duties, the couple remains committed to their causes, with fashion playing a key role in Meghan’s public image.

This shift in style marks a new chapter for Meghan, as she and Prince Harry navigate their roles outside the Royal Family while still making a global impact.
