Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will be surrounded by lots of love on their wedding day. And while Harry has chosen big brother Prince William as his best man, Meghan has decided not to have a maid of honor......
Meghan Markle is just weeks away from officially becoming a member of the British royal family, but she's already stepped out for several official royal events—a first for a royal fiancée.
As an actress, Meghan was already accustomed to appearing in public and commanding attention, but being royal brings with it a totally different level of public scrutiny. As she adjusts her style to meet her new position, Meghan has reportedly turned to her soon-to-be sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, for advice.
Kate has a stable of designers she loves and she's recommended some of her favorites to Meghan.
"Kate is often in the studio to go over lookbooks and have fittings, and she suggested the boutique to Meghan for more formal wear," a source told Vanity Fair. Meghan turned to Wickstead for her outfit and to Philip Treacy for her pillbox hat for Wednesday's Anzac service at Westminster Abbey. Both designers are favorites of her future sister-in-law.
"Kate’s not the sort of person to get offended if someone wears something she likes or one of her favorite designers,” the source continued. "Meghan asked her advice for formal wear and Kate told her where to go. They were also consulting each other on their clothes so that they complemented each other on engagements and didn’t clash."
Kate also apparently suggested that Meghan opt for pieces by British designers—advice that Meghan took for the Queen's birthday concert, to which she wore a cape dress by Stella McCarthy.
After she officially joins the royal family on May 19, Meghan's wardrobe will be paid for by a fund through Prince Charles, but until then, she's responsible for buying her own clothes—and is prohibited from accepting free pieces from designers.

Meghan Markle may be the newest member of the royal family (come May 19), but she’s still as down-to-earth as ever. Just look at her most-worn hairstyles: They’re simple, understated and easy enough for us plebeians to recreate. A girl after our own heart.

LOW MESSY CHIGNON
If there’s one hairstyle the soon-to-be royal knows how to rock, it’s the messy bun. She keeps it low (occasionally off to one side) with a few face-framing tendrils. The goal: never too stuffy.

MIDDLE PART WITH VOLUME
Center parts are back, baby, and Meghan knows how to take hers to the next level. She keeps hers sleek but adds a bit of body toward the middle and ends so her hair doesn’t lay too flat. Do the same by wrapping large sections of your hair around a two-inch curling iron and brushing it out right away. Finish with dry texturizing spray to prevent it from looking too styled.

DEEP SIDE PART WITH BARREL CURLS
Though Meghan is about to become royalty, she did get her start in Hollywood. And this movie-star hairstyle is proof. Parted way off to one side and tucked behind the ear, it has serious Marilyn Monroe vibes. Try the same look by popping in some hot rollers and spritzing with firm hairspray to hold.
