According to stylist Susie Hasler – who runs Styled By Susie – Meghan, 39, is reverting to her pre-royal sense of style and is embracing the laid-back California look.
She told Femail, “While Meghan always looked amazing when on royal engagements, with incredible gowns, and suits, it was clear she didn’t feel entirely comfortable. She’s now ditched the power dressing and the formal wear for casual clothes and she looks so much more comfortable.”
