It has been over a year now since Meghan Markle officially became part of the British royal family. However, recent reports are claiming that the former actress still feels like an "outsider."
According to Cosmopolitan, the appearance and style of the royals are huge "tells" about their inner feelings. Based on Meghan's recent choices for her apparel and clothing, it appears that she wants to achieve a sense of belongingness to the royal clan.
An expert on self-representation, Dr. Anna Akbari shares with the publication that the Duchess of Sussex's style includes more "conformist choices." After her engagement with Prince Harry, the "shift" became even more evident.
From being an America actress to a British royal, it looks like she utilizes her pieces of clothing and apparel to "assimilate" into the grand royal life. She started to wear more of the royal "traditional markers" like pantyhoses, dresses, and skirt sets. Not to mention, the conservative choices that Meghan Markle is making are very apparent as well given that this is not what she's used to.
With these points at hand, Dr. Anna Akbari concludes that Meghan Markle is still feeling that she's an "outsider." Even so, there are speculations that, while she may adhere to the royal protocol when it comes to style and appearance, she will eventually "infuse" her personal preferences to make it more look like her.
Accordingly, analysts and experts claim that this is Meghan Markle's way to earn "greater clout." She "knows it," which is why she's doing it.
On the other hand, Kate Middleton appears to have a more different perspective on this specific matter. As pointed out by the same publication, Kate's choices of clothing and apparel have been very bold and fitting. This only goes to show that she has been comfortable with her life as a royal.
Aside from being comfortable, experts have noticed that her style is inclining more on the "preppy" and "cheery" patterns side. As for the Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, it appears that her style is more on the "classy" and "sleek" path.
Whatever the case though for both Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle, fans and experts are certain that royal stylists know what they are doing. Besides, it's their job to make the royals appear pleasant and vibrant in the public in terms of clothing. This is why many are very meticulous and watchful when royals step into the spotlight as their overall appearance speaks thousands of words.
