Royal makeover: Meghan’s wardrobe overhaul

Whether she’s on screen, on the red carpet or by Prince Harry’s side, Meghan Markle has always impressed with her style.

But eagle-eyed royal fans have spotted a change in the newly engaged Suits actress’ wardrobe since her relationship with the British royal went public.

As the couple have gone from strength to strength, especially impressing Harry’s grandma the Queen, it seems Meghan has completely ditched one of her trademark looks - shorts- in favour of longer hemlines and a sleeker, more streamlined look.

Meghan, who was known for showing off her gorgeous long legs in short shorts and mini dresses in the past, is now sticking to the Queen’s dress rules of not showing too much skin.

Following in the footsteps of her future sister-in-law Kate, she's done away with her signature short-shorts and swapped them out for more modest fashion choices.

Kate also switched up her short dresses for longer hemlines when dating Prince William.

The change, reports Cosmopolitan is most likely due to the Queen’s ‘no knees’ policy. Her Majesty is not a big fan of exposed shoulders either.

Looking back through the years, Meghan underwent another sort of transformation earlier in her career.

Photos from some of her first Hollywood events show the brunette in much more casual outfits.

It didn't take long for her to get her glam on however, and the star is now a complete natural in front of the camera.

Now we just have to see what she'll choose for a wedding dress!
