One more thing that Meghan Markle and the Queen share is the power of clothing and its effect. People, Stephen Jones, the favorite milliner of Meghan, said for People magazine:
“Almost like the Queen, she understands that in a way, what’s best is simplicity. There is a restraint and elegance to her, which is wonderful… There’s also an understanding about the power of clothing — she is an actress and she knows the meaning behind all of those clothes.”
Queen Elizabeth has a reputation regarding her outfits, and for very specific reasons. Her dresses are always in very bright color schemes, and she wears them whenever she attends royal events. That way, it is easy to pick her out in the crowd.

For the wife of Prince Harry, dressing up is more than simply throwing something over just to cover herself up. Each piece of her clothing works to send a message to the people everywhere, the most favorite being support for the many causes that are the closest to her heart.
One example is the fact that her clothes are often from companies who only use cruelty-free processes, supporting the end to animal cruelty. Meghan also only wears vegan clothing. At one of the important events, she sported d a purse whose company donates a part of their earnings to help end mortality in children.
Sometimes, however, these messages she sends out are personal. For example, she wore a shirt that said “Husband” on it, shortly before she announced her engagement, along with Prince Harry. In addition, before they were expecting their first baby, she was seen in a dress named ‘Blessed.’
