In Harry & Meghan Fashion, Casual Style Meghan Markles Power

When Meghan Markle first rising to minor celebrity on the show Suits, she donned the button-down wardrobe of a young lawyer: a pencil skirt, tight-fitting buttons and yes, a suit. When he later reached unimaginable heights of global fame as Prince Harrygirlfriend and later wife, she dressed impeccably for public appearances endlessly in coat gowns, heels and even a fascinator. With the upright posture of a yoga teacher’s daughter and a seemingly endless supply of camel coats, she has, until recently, dressed for public life relentlessly.

But in this six-part Harry & Meghan series, right now number two show Netflix in the US, the duchess of Sussex is pushing for a more cosy, quiet and intimate style. In a confessional-style portion of the series, Ms. Markle is a Nancy Meyers character come to life, clad in layers of haute-hygge knits, silks, and discreet gold jewelry, with her hair styled in soft waves around her face. In the context of a documentary style show where the main theme is the desire for more privacy, this is a personal garment that still conveys a message to the public.

Message Ms. Markles seems to be: I’m grounded, sincere, and grounded, but subtle. I have a chicken, but I also have a gold Cartier watch.
