Meghan Markle makes huge departure from her royal style with edgy new detail
Meghan Markle has made a huge departure from her royal style with an edgy detail on a recent public appearance with Prince Harry.
The 42-year-old Duchess of Sussex had to follow strict royal protocol over the colour of her nails while a working senior member of the Royal Family, as it was reported the late Queen hated coloured nail polish and fake nails. Instead, Her Majesty preferred Meghan and Kate Middleton to wear a simple nude polish, and have their nails short and neat.
Since her and Harry stepped down as senior royals in 2020 and relocated to the US, Meghan has enjoyed expressing herself through her style choices after being under strict guidelines while in the monarchy. Now, she’s chosen to ditch the Queen’s rules over nail polish and indulged in a classic square-tip French manicure as she stepped out with husband Harry earlier this week.

While the mother-of-two looked stunning in a black Carolina Herrera ballgown skirt and camisole, eagle-eyed onlookers couldn’t help but notice she had the French manicure on her nails. However, her nails were still kept relatively short, which could be a sweet nod to the Queen’s preference for a neat manicure.

Her Majesty’s favourite nail polish was the pale pink Ballet Slippers shade by Essie, and had been wearing the colour since 1989 until her death in 2022. Women in the Royal Family tend to opt for nude or pale pink colours, but according to royal expert Omid Scobie, the Queen had no rule about dark nail polish. “It’s simply about being appropriate,” he told

According to reports, Meghan used one base layer of CND Shellac’s Unmasked colour, with their Negligee colour and Cashmere Wrap pink shade on top. The timeless look was also seen on Kate Middleton for her wedding to Prince William in 2011, and her pink shade was made from a combination of Bourjois' nude shade Rose Lounge and Essie's Allure.
While pregnant with Archie in 2019, Meghan bucked royal protocol and wore a burgundy shade of nail polish as she attended the Cirque du Soleil premiere of Totem with Prince Harry. She rocked the shade on both her fingers and toes, and the dark-red hue was perfectly complemented by her blue sequinned Givenchy gown that highlighted her baby bump.
