MEG-A PLANNING

Ex royal maid describes how Meghan Markle’s outfits may have been chosen for the tour – and there could have been backups for EVERY piece

IT'S only day three of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's royal tour and the Duchess of Sussex has already wowed us with several stunning outfits.

While the 37-year-old seems to repeatedly nail the effortless look, understandably a lot more preparation goes into Meghan's wardrobe.

From a khaki Brandon Maxwell midi dress worth £1,728 to a £110 checked blazer by best pal Serena Williams, the Duchess has already treated us to some serious fashion inspo'.

And now, former royal lady's maid Alicia Healey has described just how much prep could have gone into Meghan's royal tour ensembles, especially as there can be up to three outfit changes a day.

"New outfits will probably have to be tailor-made, so this would require plenty of time," Healey told .

"There would be at least two, maybe three outfit changes per day, so outfits would need to be considered in advance, specific to each engagement, and back-ups would be a good idea in case of any accidental spillages on clothes, or any freak weather conditions."

Healey also explained wearing local designers is important in nay royal tour.

"It's a good opportunity to improve relations between countries by paying tribute to the host country through their clothing choices," she said.

"This might be through wearing an outfit by a local designer, which will boost local businesses, or they might even interpret the colours of the host flag – this is something Diana, Princess of Wales, used to do a lot and the Duchess of Cambridge does it occasionally too.

"It’s a sign of respect that is often appreciated."

So far, mum-to-be Meghan has worn several Australian designs, including a £980 , a £270 initial necklace by and a pair of £108 black denim jeans by Outland Denim.

And if you fancy stealing Meghan's royal style, Healey - who runs the Instagram account - has revealed it's not about spending lots of money, but more about investing in "classic, timeless pieces".

Earlier this week, we told you Meghan's best pal, Jessica Mulroney would be joining the royal in Sydney - and with Jessica being a popular fashion stylist in Canada, it looks like we can expect plenty more killer outfits from the royal.

Earlier this week, we told you Meghan Markle won’t be able to enjoy one of her favourite foods on Royal tour… because the Queen has BANNED it.

We also revealed pregnant Meghan Markle wears £1,728 Brandon Maxwell khaki maxi dress with Diana’s jewellery on day one of Australia tour.
