“Most of the that I was in the U.K. I rarely wore color,” the former Suits actress, 41, said in episode three of six-episode show, which premiered on the streaming platform on Thursday, December 8. “There was thought in that. To my understanding, you can’t ever wear the same color as Her Majesty if there’s a group event. But then, you also should never be wearing the same color as one of the other more senior members of the family.”
Meghan explained that as she adjusted to her new life, she wanted to be intentional with her clothing as the style aspect of royal duties was something she “really didn’t know about.”
She added: “So, I was like, ‘Well, what’s a color that they’ll probably never wear? Camel? Beige? White?’” she said. “I wore a lot of muted tones, but it was also so I could just blend in. I’m not trying to stand out here. So, 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.”

When did wear color, however, she’d step out in shades of green, like the forest-colored Erdem coat she donned while visiting Canada House for Commonwealth Day in 2019. Other hues she sported included soft pinks, gray and sometimes yellow.
