Meghan Markle Discusses Wardrobe Restrictions During UK Royal Tenure

Meghan Markle has revealed in a recent interview that during her time as a working royal, she felt restricted and had to wear nude pantyhose all the time, which she described as feeling 'inauthentic' and not reflective of her true self. She expressed that this was symbolic of broader limitations, including not being able to be as vocal or dress as she wished, contrasting with her current life in California where she feels free to be authentic. Meghan explained that wearing pantyhose reminded her of 1980s movies, emphasizing how such seemingly small rules made her feel disconnected from her identity. The Duchess also discussed how important it is for her to tell her own story and be comfortable in her own skin, which has evolved through different chapters of her life. Additionally, Meghan touched on sacrifices she made for royal duties, like closing her lifestyle blog The Tig, and shared insights from her Netflix lifestyle show, including personal moments such as coping with separation from her children after the Queen’s death. Despite her celebrity status, she and Prince Harry strive not to stay incognito, embracing their family name Sussex as a symbol of their new life.
