Her acting career, her cute short-suits, making any sort of public mistake ever, these are just some of the things Meghan Markle has given up to be with the man she loves and of course, to land a British title.
Thankfully, her acting career will be replaced with a hopefully fulfilling life of philanthropy and her new designer offerings will be pretty great too.
However, fans have already noticed (and despaired) at the Duchess’ first official outing as a member oft he royal family.

After her two gorgeous wedding gowns on Saturday, that reflected the former-actress’ personal style perfectly, they were devastated that at her father-in-law, Prince Charles’ public birthday she paired a classy, dusty pink Goat dress with divisive ‘nude’ tights.
The internet was pretty vocal on the issue, with some objecting to their colour and others to their mere existence:
‘I thought it was bad enough Meghan Markle had to get baptised, but now it appears she has been told to start wearing the nude tights. The humanity,’ and ‘Can you please tell The Duchess of Sussex’s stylist to go and buy the right colour tights for her to suit her skin-tone. She looks lovely as always but sort the tights out,’ both appeared on Twitter.
It’s believed that it’s the Queen who is not a fan of bare legs, and despite flouting this unspoken rule throughout her engagement, Markle looks like she’s joined the nylon-swathed club after offically becoming part of the firm.
Another unspoken rule of the Queen’s that Markle has been adhering to, since her first public outing with her Prince back in November of last year, however, is the nude nail rule.
That’s right, Markle has had to give up wearing dark nail polish.
Some will have noticed that, since Harry and meghan’s outing at the Invictus games the Suits star has gone for a nude polish on her nails.
On her wedding day, she copied her sister-in-law and grandmother-in-law in their polish brand of choice Essie.
Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge wore the colour Allure on her wedding day, whilst Markle reportedly wore the Queen’s favourite Ballet Slippers.
Whilst Markle very much suits the pale pinks and whites she has been favouring lately, we can’t help but look back at the days when she could pair deep red nails with a sparkly mini dress.
