The Duchess confessed that during her time as a working royal, style etiquette was something she took incredibly seriously. "Most of the time that I was in the UK, I rarely wore colour," said Meghan, revealing that there was "thought" in her neutral sartorial choices.

"To my understanding, you can't ever wear the same colour as Her Majesty if there's a group event. "But then you also shouldn’t be wearing the same colour as one of the other more senior members of the family," Meghan continued.

Meghan added: "I'm not trying to stand out here… There's no version of me joining this family and trying to not do everything I could to fit in. I don’t want to embarrass the family."

Yet this changed during the royal's last week in the UK. Speaking of her decision to ditch the low0key looks, Meghan said: "I wore a lot of colour that week! I just felt like, 'Let's just look like a rainbow!"
One example of Meghan's decision to sport bolder colours was her final appearance in the UK, when she attended the Commonwealth Day Service 2020 at Westminster Abbey in March. She looked magnificent in an emerald green dress featuring an uber-elegant wrap-cape effect, long sleeves, a midi fit, a crepe fabric and a flowing silhouette.
