When Meghan Markle joined the Royal Family following her May 19 wedding to Prince Harry, the newly minted duchess was quick to follow the strict style rules imposed by Her Majesty. 

But, since becoming pregnant the Duchess of Sussex’s hemlines keep getting shorter and it turns out there’s a reason.

Stylist Keren Beaumont told Yahoo Style UK, the duchess is following on the “golden rules” of maternity dressing – keep your hemlines short and wear looser outfits for greater comfort.

“A naturally slim woman such as Meghan or Kate who would normally wear form fitting silhouettes suddenly finds herself in a situation where she needs to wear slightly roomier shapes around her middle,” Beaumont explained.

“Being in the public eye, these women will still be very conscious of wanting to look great, so they will offset these larger silhouettes by making the most of the assets that don’t change as much in pregnancy, especially their legs in the case of the two ladies in question.”
