Meghan Markle’s Royal Transition: Why Everyone's Talking About Her Legs
When Meghan Markle stepped into the spotlight as the soon-to-be royal, the world was captivated. She had everything: dazzling hair, a killer figure, and a style that turned heads. But honestly, who would've guessed her legs would become the center of attention? Since Meghan's engagement to Prince Harry, people just can’t stop talking about what she’s wearing—or not wearing—on her lower half. Yep, you heard me right. It’s all about the legs.
Back in November 2017, when Harry and Meghan made their engagement official with a photocall at Kensington Palace, the world was buzzing. Everyone was obsessing over her stunning engagement ring, her chic white coat, and those Aquazzura suede pumps. But eagle-eyed royal watchers noticed something else. Meghan wasn’t wearing pantyhose—a staple in the royal wardrobe for every female member of the monarchy. Some people thought it was a fashion faux pas, while others simply wondered if she was freezing in the chilly London weather.

Breaking Tradition: Meghan's Pantyhose Pivot
Fast forward to earlier this week, and Meghan shocked everyone once again. She stepped out in pantyhose for the royal family’s Commonwealth Day celebrations on March 12. Whether it was because she was cold or because Meghan’s been learning from the style playbooks of Queen Elizabeth and Kate Middleton, everyone was talking about her legs again. And hey, let’s not forget that she even wore navy suede pumps almost identical to Kate’s. How cute is that?
Now, here’s the kicker: wearing nude pantyhose isn’t actually part of royal protocol. But that doesn’t stop the Queen, Kate, and other female royals from donning sheer tights during nearly every outing. Christine Ross from Meghan’s Mirror told E! Online, “Although pantyhose aren’t required for every event, they’re generally considered a rule for more formal or conservative royal events.” She added, “The perception is that pantyhose are more modest and feminine, but given how chilly London can be, it might just be a practical choice.”
Breaking the Mold: Meghan's Love for Pants
Meghan’s style evolution doesn’t stop at pantyhose. In recent months, she’s also made headlines for her love of pants. While Kate Middleton is almost always photographed in a dress, Meghan has opted for chic cropped slacks, wide-legged trousers, and high-waisted pants. She’s breaking the royal style rules left and right—and we couldn’t love her more for it. From her signature messy buns to her bold fashion choices, Meghan is proving that modern princesses don’t have to follow every rule. We can’t wait to see what she’ll wear on her wedding day!
