A mum who had surgery to look like Meghan Markle says her daughter now confuses her for the real princess

A mum-of-three determined to look like the Duchess spent $35,000 on surgery — but fails to resemble her royal idol in any way.

The complicated relationship between Meghan and her father

A Meghan Markle wannabe spent $35,000 on Botox, a bum lift and lip fillers to look her idol — but fails to resemble her in the slightest.

Xochytl Greer, 36, a mum-of-three from Texas, went under the knife four months ago to rid herself of excess fat on her stomach and have a nose job — in a bid to look like the Duchess.

Since having youngest daughter Isla nearly two years ago, she felt self-conscious over how her clothes fitted, The Sun reported.

And after admiring the beauty and regal class of the Duchess of Sussex, she was determined to look like the royal figure.

Ms Greer lamented no matter how much make-up she put on or how she dressed, she would “never be presentable”.

But after having a rhinoplasty, liposuction on the stomach, inner and outer thighs, a bum lift, fillers under the eyes, lip filler, jawline filler and Botox, the lawyer says she now feels — and looks — like a princess.

And the mum has even claimed Isla, 23 months, now shouts “mummy, mummy” whenever she sees pictures of Meghan.

Ms Greer said: “When I look in the mirror, I’m happy again. I still see me but a better version of me.

“I’m at the point where I feel I can put myself out there in the world again.

“I had very big self-confidence issues, but now I feel I can put on a nice dress and don’t need to wear much make-up because I feel great.”

She said she still wore the same-sized clothing but with a better fit and didn’t “have big, long rolls hanging out of my pants anymore”.

The duchess wannabe said: “I don’t think I look identical to Meghan Markle, but I do see our similarities a lot more now. My nose definitely resembles hers more closely.

“I also had fillers in my jawline to have a stronger jaw like she does, so I do feel I more strongly resemble her now.

“The way I carry myself on a daily basis has changed — I like going out again, being in public and feeling good about myself.

“I really like her, I have always thought she was a classy person. She’s very relatable, and I think she’s absolutely beautiful.

“Knowing the things she went through, that she didn’t grow up with the perfect life and with family struggles made her even more relatable.”

Dr Franklin Rose, of Utopia Plastic Surgery & Med Spa, performed the five-and-a-half hour surgery on Ms Greer in November last year.

Ms Greer’s new look was unveiled at a high tea event in Houston earlier this month during which she felt more empowered than ever.

The mum said since her surgery children Brandon, 17, Kai, 12, and little Isla had benefited all the more as she had more energy.

She added: “When my surgery was unveiled it felt like I was the princess for the day. It was a great experience, and I really enjoyed it.

“I feel very self-assured and very confident now. I don’t have to try on five different outfits every day before figuring out what I want to wear now too.”

She has admired the beauty and class of the Duchess of Sussex since her time on American TV show Suits and wanted to look more like her.

Dr Rose said: “Meghan Markle arguably is one the most famous of all the royals at the present time.

“She is always in the news and she is very pretty, like the actress Grace Kelly when marrying the Prince of Monaco.

“Meghan Markle is very pretty, so people want her nose.

“Xochytl says her self-confidence is through the roof, and she feels great about herself now — plastic surgery has this tremendous, positive effect on body image and self-esteem.

“She resembled Meghan Markle before, but now looks even more like her.”
