The outfits Meghan should NOT repeat from her UK wardrobe - and the ensembles worth another outing as she returns to Britain...

As Meghan Markle returns to the UK alongside her husband Prince Harry and their two children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet... will her British wardrobe also make a comeback?The Duchess of Sussex, 45, had a distinctly different style when she worked as a royal, opting for more conservative fashion choices, such as neutral tones, traditional silhouettes, closed-toe heels and tights for official engagements.She relied on boat necklines to look 'slightly uncovered and a little sexy' - whilst still adhering closely to protocol - and leant towards British brands like Burberry, Emilia Wickstead and Stella McCartney.But it's been some years since the mother-of-two embraced her 'prim princess' style - instead showcasing either a glamorous, Hollywood approach to dressing or a California chic preference while living in Montecito.Her favoured brands now include Oscar de la Renta, Carolina Herrera and Valentino, which are joined by cool-girl pieces from the likes of Heidi Merrick, Khaite and Cult Gaia.Yet, as Meghan makes the move across the pond, could fans once again glimpse some of her working royal wardrobe? No doubt there's some ensembles fashionistas would prefer the former actress rewear more than others - with even the style-conscious Duchess suffering a fashion mishap or two whilst part of The Firm.A prime example was the outfit she wore to a Buckingham Palace Garden Party, held in honour of then Prince Charles's 70th birthday, just weeks after her wedding to Prince Harry. A prime example was the outfit Meghan (pictured right with Queen Camilla) wore to a Buckingham Palace Garden Party, held in honour of then Prince Charles's 70th birthday, just weeks after her wedding to Prince HarryShe chose a sophisticated nude fit-and-flare dress by Goat, a British label previously worn by Kate, now the Princess of Wales, and completed her polished number with a coordinating Philip Treacy hat, Tamara Mellon pumps and nude tights.However, fans were left unimpressed by her choice of tights, and even Meghan previously criticised royal fashion protocol that forbade women in the Firm showing their bare legs on official outings.In an interview with Bloomberg's Emily Chang in August 2025, Meghan said wearing the sheer tights 'felt a little bit inauthentic' and that she 'hadn't seen pantyhose since movies in the 80s'.While promoting the second series of her Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, she told Emily that she is 'just being herself', before appearing to take a dig at her former life in the royal fold.Meghan said: 'It was different several years ago, when I couldn't be as vocal and I had to wear nude pantyhose all the time! Let's be honest, that was not very myself. I hadn't seen pantyhose since movies in the 80s! That felt a little bit inauthentic.'Despite this, the Duchess was photographed several times with bare legs during her time in the UK, including in her and Prince Harry's engagement picture that was released in 2017. Another fashion failure came about when Meghan was visiting Scotland, and wore a pair of trousers that appeared too long for her.It's a mishap that the Duchess has often repeated - although celebrity stylist Martine Alexander believes Meghan was simply embracing current trends when repeating the style.

Her outfit cost £4,020 in total'One of the key trends was oversized, unstructured suiting. Meghan opted for something looser and I personally think she looked incredible,' she said.Perhaps the most notable item in her wardrobe, Meghan's wedding dress also faced significant criticism over its sizing, with fans questioning its fit as she arrived at St George's Chapel in Windsor in 2018.Designed by Clare Waight Keller for Givenchy, the gown was made from triple silk organza, a material with little stretch, leading to a looser appearance, particularly around the bodice. It is believed that Meghan and Clare intentionally chose a relaxed cut for comfort and ease of movement. Had the dress been skin-tight, Meghan might have struggled to sit comfortably due to the thick fabric's restrictive nature. However, for her last official outing as a senior member of the Royal Family, Meghan looked resplendent in an emerald green ensemble as she attended the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey.The Duchess chose an exquisite caped dress by designer Emilia Wickstead with a matching hat by William Chambers as she joined husband Prince Harry and other senior royals for the engagement. Meghan's showstopping ensemble was widely praised on social media by royal supporters and fashion fans alike within minutes of her arrival.

The Duchess' outfits for her final royal engagements were a 'masterclass in revenge dressing', according to Vanity Fair. Meghan dazzled in a string of vibrant ensembles as she carried out her final outings as a member of the royal family, including an azure blue Victoria Beckham dress for the Endeavour Fund Awards and a sweeping scarlet Safiyaa gown for the Mountbatten Festival of Music. Vanity Fair told how these carefully constructed outfits were designed to show the Royal Family 'what they'll be missing' after Meghan and Harry stepped back from royal duties. The article read: 'Over the past few days, Meghan’s spate of bright, body-hugging, almost-achingly glamorous looks during her and Harry’s proverbial “farewell tour” are a master class in revenge dressing—except instead of an ex-boyfriend, the entity that should be sad to lose her is the British monarchy.' The Duchess's farewell wardrobe, which promoted independent labels, women-run brands and big-name British designers, was comparable to Princess Diana's 'revenge dress', the article continued.'Not since Princess Diana emerged in an iconic black, off-the-shoulder Christina Stambolian cocktail dress and pearl choker on the very same day in June 1994 when her ex-husband, Prince Charles, admitted on national television he’d cheated on her, has a royal woman in transition sent such a potent message: you’re going to miss me when I’m gone.' Whilst it's unclear whether the mother-of-two will rewear any of her UK wardrobe while back in Britain, Meghan has previously recycled some of the outfits already.The Duchess first wore her Ralph Lauren striped shirt at Wimbledon in 2018, attending the Ladies' Singles Final alongside the Princess of Wales. Since then, it's become a firm favourite in her wardrobe - she even brought it back for Independence Day in 2025.
