Meghan Markle ditches heavy make-up and returns to her pre-royal style in loose-fitting shorts

She officially quit as a working member of the Firm in March, and Meghan Markle has wasted no time in embracing her pre-royal fashion once again.

The Duchess of Sussex, 39, has ditched the glitz and glamour of her UK wardrobe in favour of her former casual style after moving back to her hometown LA.

Meghan - now living in her and Prince Harry's new $14.65million mansion in Santa Barbara with their son Archie, one - has showcased her laidback Californian fashion in recent appearances.

During a discussion with activist Gloria Steinem, Meghan opted for Stella McCartney Rhea sandals - an exposed toe look which she typically avoided during royal engagements.
And when distributing supplies at a drive-through run by Los Angeles charity Baby2Baby earlier this month, the mother-of-one sported shorts - a garment never seen in her Duchess wardrobe. 



 

Stylist Susie Hasler, who runs Styled By Susie, told FEMAIL Meghan is 'going back to the real her' with her casual vibe seen during video calls and charity appearances. Here, we reveal her five key transformative fashion moves. 

Susie Hasler, who runs Styled By Susie, said: 'While Meghan always looked amazing when on royal engagements, with incredible gowns, and suits, it was clear she didn't feel entirely comfortable.

'She's now ditched the power dressing and the formal wear for casual clothes and she looks so much more comfortable. 

'She looks as though she's now dressing in a way that's authentic to her.'

Meghan wowed fans during her last engagements in the UK, with the Duchess of Sussex's wardrobe being filled with bold colours and eye-catching designer gowns.

But for her trips out in LA so far, the royal has adopted a more low-key vibe, wearing shorts and long, summery dresses, as well as jeans and trainers.
