She officially quit in March as a working member of the firm, and Meghan Markle has not wasted any time in returning to her pre-royal fashion.
The Duchess of Sussex, 39, has lost the glamor and glamor of her UK wardrobe in favor of her former casual style after returning to her hometown of LA.
Meghan – now lives in the new mansion of $ 14.65 million in her and Prince Harry in Santa Barbara with her son Archie, one – has shown her relaxed California fashion in recent appearances.
During a discussion with activist Gloria Steinem, Meghan opted for Stella McCartney Rhea sandals – an exposed toe look that she typically wears at royal engagements.
And while distributing supplies on a drive-through run by Los Angeles charity Baby2Baby earlier this month, the mother-of-one has sports pants – a garment that has never been seen in her duchess wardrobe.
Stylist Susie Hasler, who runs Styled By Susie, told FEMAIL Meghan is going ‘back to the real her’ with her casual atmosphere seen at video shows and charities. Here we show her five important transformative fashion movements.
LESS POWER CLOTHING
Susie Hasler, who runs Styled By Susie, said: ‘While Meghan always looked great when she was on royal engagements, with incredible gowns and suits, it was clear that she did not feel completely comfortable.’ Pictured: Meghan during a video call recently, left, and the Duchess seen right, about one of her last engagements in the UK in March
Susie Hasler, who runs Styled By Susie, said: ‘While Meghan always looked great when she was on royal engagements, with incredible gowns and suits, it was clear that she did not feel completely comfortable.
‘She has now completed the power dressing and formal wear for casual wear and she looks so much more comfortable.
“She seems to be dressing up now in a way that is authentic to her.”
Meghan gave fans fans at her latest engagements in the UK, with the Duchess of Sussex’s wardrobe full of bold colors and striking designer dresses.
But for her travels so far in LA, the royal has adopted a smaller atmosphere, with shorts and long, summery dresses, as well as jeans and trainers.
LEG-BARING SHORTS

While distributing supplies during a drive-through run by the Los Angeles Baby2Baby charity earlier this month, the mother-of-one donned shorts – a dress rarely seen in her royal wardrobe.
But before her wedding to Prince Harry in May 2018, Meghan was known for often wearing shorts, even sporting glamor for red carpet events.
“Meghan has great legs, so why not show them?” stress Susie. ‘While it’s something we would not see in other royal ladies on duty, now that Meghan is stepping up, she is embracing her pre-royal style again.
‘This is another nod to her past life. She looks comfortable, not flashy, more girl-next. ‘
PEEP-TOE SHOES

When she spoke with activist Gloria Steinem for a Q&A shared on female empowerment platform Makers Women, Meghan opted for Stella McCartney Rhea sandals – an exposed toe look she typically wore at royal engagements.
But before stepping into the spotlight of the royal family, Meghan was a fan of the open-toe look, sporting it on many glamorous occasions with her elegant frocks.
‘Open-toed shoes are considered unsuitable for members of the royal family,’ said stylist Susie. ‘Not only have we seen Meghan dive into the classic royal court shoes, but she’s wearing elegant, casual sandals, very much in line with where she and Harry live.’
COMFORT CLOTHING

‘Shorts, trainers, caps, T-shirts, jeans. We’ve seen Meghan wear all these articles since she stepped down from the royal duties, ‘the stylist recalled.
‘It’s almost as if the clothes they sport in the UK do not really let their true personality through.
‘It looks like the Duchess was wearing a costume instead of outfits that show off her style. Now we see the real Meghan. Her clothes are very relaxed and in turn also her body language. ‘
In April, a lowly Prince Harry and Meghan were spotted stepping into LA to walk with their two dogs, a black Labrador and a rescue beagle.
Meghan was casually dressed in skinny white jeans, trainers and a baseball cap, while Harry wore his familiar uniform of a faded polo shirt, jeans, desert shoes and a hat.
PLAN WHITE T-SHIRTS
‘It’s such a classic piece of clothing – but also very casual,’ the stylist explained of Meghan’s love for a plain white T-shirt. In the picture, the Duchess is wearing the dress this year, left, and in 2016, right
‘It’s such a classic piece of clothing – but also very casual,’ ‘the stylist explained of Meghan’s love for plain white tea.
The mother-of-one donned the clothes earlier this year for her call with the Hubb Community Kitchen, a group of women who have come together to prepare fresh food for their local area in London.
‘While other royals have maintained a smart-casual atmosphere for their Zoom calls during lockdown, Meghan goes back to the real her. She looks much more comfortable, much more relaxed and sucks American casual glam, ‘Susie remarked.
‘The Duchess obviously feels much freer now that she no longer has to dress for royal engagements.’
PARED-BACK MAKE UP
In addition to opting for a more casual wardrobe, Meghan has also been able to opt for a more natural beauty since stepping down from official royal duties.
Famous makeup artist Lisa Little told Femail: ‘Meghan seems to be more relaxed in herself, so the style of makeup she’s currently showing in LA.
‘Although Megan in her recent appearances has done makeup, and still does a function of her eyes and eyebrows, she plays the face makeup.
‘Her makeup came across as hard trying to impress when she was a working royal. Although demure, it was heavier and more professionally applied. ‘
