Meghan Markle has abandoned "traditional royal silhouettes" during her trip to Colombia with Prince Harry, according to a royal fashion expert.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are undertaking a four-day visit to the South American nation.


Meghan has worn more than four different outfits across the first two days of the trip in Colombia.

The Duchess of Sussex is choosing fashion designers who complement her own story, the royal author claimed.

Rosie Harte, author of The Royal Wardrobe: A Very Fashionable History of the Monarchy told The Telegraph: "There’s a lot that goes into dressing as a public figure that a typical celebrity doesn’t need to think about.

"It’s so much more than creating a style identity with certain trendy brands or flattering silhouettes; rather it’s about knowing how to piece together looks that support a narrative.

"The fact that Meghan is embedding her messages below the surface level, and choosing designers who complement her own story is testament to the impact that royal life has had on her approach to styling."

Harte added: "Meghan very rarely adopts any of the traditional royal silhouettes when on tour.

"No coat dresses, no hats, no lace, and instead opts for sleeker, more stylish looks."

During the second day of the Sussexes' tour of Colombia, Meghan Markle opened up on her love for the Invictus Games.

Prince Harry set up the Invictus Games during his time as a working member of the Royal Family.

Despite stepping away from his role in the monarchy, the Duke of Sussex has continued his work with the Invictus Games.
