Meghan Markle Returns to UK After 6 Years, Fueling Speculation Over Her Royal Wardrobe

Summary
Meghan Markle is set to return to Britain later this month after Prince Harry and Meghan decided to leave Montecito for the UK, reviving scrutiny of how she will dress on home soil.
Six years in California freed her from palace style conventions, and her wardrobe shifted toward relaxed tailoring, jeans, red-carpet labels and the polished lifestyle aesthetic seen in With Love, Meghan.
Her earlier UK appearances as a working royal leaned heavily on British and royal-favorite fashion houses, including Givenchy, Erdem, Dior and Stella McCartney, with hats, coat dresses and formal silhouettes defining that period.
Because she is no longer a working royal, Meghan faces no obligation to follow old palace dress expectations, leaving open whether her return brings back stately British-chic or keeps the looser Montecito look.
