Meghan reveals how her wardrobe changed as a royal in her and Prince Harry’s new Netflix documentary. (Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\nMeghan Markle has revealed the impact her time as a senior working member of the Royal Family had on her fashion choices in her and Prince Harry’s new documentary for Netflix.<\/p>\n
The first three episodes of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s highly anticipated six-part docuseries, Harry & Meghan, dropped on Netflix on Thursday and already viewers are getting a big insight into how joining the Royal Family impacted Meghan’s life.<\/p>\n
One change was the way Meghan looked at her wardrobe and style, and how that would come across to both the public and press, she says in the documentary.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cI could talk her through as much as I knew from my own experience and what I’d seen,\u201d says Harry in the third episode, “but the piece I really didn’t know about was the style.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, you’d be there with the scissors like, ‘Guys, be ready. We have five minutes,’\u201d recalled Meghan. \u201cAnd I was like, ‘Should I wear these earrings? Are these by a British designer? I just ordered these online. Is this good? Wait, my tag’s on. Cut the tag.’\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd then the zip breaks,\u201d adds Harry. \u201cThe whole thing was just ridiculous.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

But that wasn’t the only change to the duchess’ wardrobe.<\/p>\n

Story continues<\/button><\/p>\n\u201cMost of the time I was in the UK, I rarely wore colour,\u201d she says in the interview section of the third episode. \u201cThere was thought in that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cSo I was like, ‘What’s a color that they’ll probably never wear? Camel? beige? White?’\u201d<\/p>\n
Meghan goes on to explain that the decision was also made so that she wouldn’t cause a stir at public events, and just \u201cfit in\u201d.<\/p>\n

(Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n\u201cI wore a lot of muted tones, but it was also so I could just blend in,\u201d she explains. \u201cI’m not trying to stand out here.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThere’s no version of me joining this family, and trying to not do everything I could to fit in,\u201d she continues. \u201cI don’t want to embarrass the family.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Prince Harry clears up that out of the several so-called royal \u201cprotocols\u201d that Meghan was accused of breaking during each time as a working royal, most of them \u201cwere completely made up\u201d by the press.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
