Meghan Markle unveils glossy new curls like Kate Middleton
IT’S the hair trend that set the world on fire — Meghan’s messy bun. But have we seen the end of her signature look?
THE Duchess of Sussex showed off her fabulous new curls as she joined Prince Harry and the Queen at a star-studded event at Buckingham Palace.
And Meghan Markle’s new do, unveiled at the Young Leaders awards bash in the palace ballroom, is already drawing comparisons to her stylish sister-in-law Kate Middleton.
A beaming Meghan and Prince Harry were accompanying Her Royal Highness at the annual ceremony which champions inspirational young people from across the Commonwealth.
This year’s honorees are being praised for their work with issues including poverty, gender equality and climate change.
Superstars attending the event included model Neelam Gill, boxer Nicola Adams and former footballer David Beckham.
But it was Meghan who stole the show, as usual, in an elegant powder pink dress and new wavy hair.
According to Vanity Fair: “The new hairstyle marks a significant departure from the much-discussed messy bun she sported in earlier appearances, and has a certain Kate-esque sheen about it.”
It was the second time she has teamed up with the Queen, having accompanied her to a children’s musical performance in Cheshire earlier this month.
During that royal engagement, the Duchess appeared in good spirits without Prince Harry by her side, even sharing a giggle with the Queen.
The former actor, who left TV series Suits to marry her prince, looked relaxed as she was shown the ropes by the 92-year-old monarch in the visit to Cheshire.
The day proved to be a crash course in British culture for the American, who admitted the trip was her first time to the north of England.
Following in the Queen’s footsteps as she greeted local dignitaries, Meghan told them: “I’m very happy to be here.”
The royals were met with wild cheering and applause from hundreds of flag-waving schoolchildren as Meghan took to her new role effortlessly.
The Duchess of Sussex looked regal in a neutral dress by Givenchy paired with black accessories, standing demurely behind her new grandmother-in-law.
Her pearl and diamond earrings were a gift from the Queen — although it is not known exactly when the jewellery was given to Meghan.
It took the Duchess of Cambridge 10 months after her marriage to Prince William to attend a similar event.
