Meghan Markle Ditches Signature Look Since Meeting Prince Harry
Meghan Markle, the actress and girlfriend of Prince Harry, has been known for her impeccable fashion sense.
However, since dating the royal, she has reportedly abandoned one of her trademark looks.
Fans have noticed that the brunette beauty has stopped wearing her signature leg-bearing shorts in favor of more modest ensembles.
According to Cosmopolitan, this shift in style is due to the Queen's rules, which the Duchess of Cambridge also follows by wearing modest dresses and calf-skimming gowns.
The Mail on Sunday reported in 2014 how Kate took part in a subtle but significant regal makeover supported by the Queen.
The Duchess apparently deployed a couture wardrobe of daydresses with lower hemlines than she has previously favored for her royal tour of Canada.

Meghan and Harry have spent a year criss-crossing the globe to make their long-distance relationship work, so it is of little wonder Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are doing all they can to see each other as their relationship continues to deepen.
A royal source told The Sun that the couple just can't bear to be apart at the moment.
However, it is unlikely there would be any official announcement until after the celebrations for the Queen's 70th wedding anniversary on November 20.
It may be significant, too, that the palace chose to release news of the Duchess of Cambridge's April due date comparatively early.
A wedding is believed to be out of the question until Prince William and Kate's third child is born.
One important consideration both for courtiers and the Church of England is Meghan's status as a divorcee.
Under Church rules, she would be unable to have a religious wedding.
Although a ceremony could take place in church, it would be a blessing instead, with a civil marriage taking place separately.
This could lead to the choice of a comparatively low-profile venue, such as the Royal Military Chapel at Wellington Barracks at St. James's Park.
Meghan is currently in Toronto filming scenes for her legal drama Suits, and work will not finish on the series until the middle of November.
Despite their busy schedules, the couple has been making an effort to see each other as often as possible.
However, with Meghan's status as a divorcee, it remains to be seen how their relationship will progress.
