Meghan Markle seems to be paying her respects to Queen Elizabeth II by employing a clever tactic with regards to her clothes.

Lucas Armitage, a stylist, and fashion commentator said that the Duchess of Sussex has been wearing neutral hues for the Queen’s sake.

“I feel this is a clever styling tactic as it will always work with the Queen’s look; she is known and applauded for her use of bright fun colors,” he said (via Express).

Her Majesty is known for wearing bright colors in public. This is because she wants to be seen by everyone even those that are standing far away from her. When she and Markle went on their first solo engagement in Cheshire, the Queen wore an acid green ensemble.

“The use of neutral color on Meghan’s part is also a show of respect to the Queen so she never looks like she is trying to outshine her. I think the Queen and Meghan’s relationship at this point is one built on respect, and Meghan has shifted her own personal style to adopt a more demure regal look – something I think the Queen will be thankful for,” he said.

Meanwhile, Markle seems to also be very at ease around the monarch. Following their solo outing a few months ago, a source to Entertainment Tonight that Markle and the Queen have also become increasingly close.

“She has developed an increasingly close, warm relationship with both the queen and her father-in-law, Prince Charles. She wants to please them and is doing whatever she can to educate herself to make sure she doesn’t put a foot wrong,” the source said.

The Queen and the other members of the royal family are also happy with Markle’s involvement with charities and causes that are close to her heart.

“Gender equality, girls education, gay rights, and human rights – which were the focus of her work as a UN advocate and a representative for the One World Foundation – will be themes to be prominently featured in her future work,” the source said.
