Meghan Markle ‘inspired’ by ‘elegant and stunning’ Queen Letizia of Spain

Fashion expert Miranda Holde is an acclaimed stylist who has worked with a variety of celebrities in her career. She enjoys speaking about royal fashion on her TikTok page @themirandaholder, and recently Miranda has spoken about Meghan Markle’s “royal style muse” Queen Letizia of Spain, whose outfits she has emulated at multiple events.

Meghan Markle “most notably” gets her style inspiration from Queen Letizia of Spain according to the fashion expert. Miranda began her video on TikTok by saying that the Duke of Sussex had a “fabulous choice” in inspiration because the Spanish Queen was “so elegant and stunning.”

Miranda explained: “Their style has always been quite similar, both ladies favour a simple slightly more minimal uncluttered look, and they both wore the same red leather pencil skirt by Boss within days of each other.”

Queen Letizia first wore the red leather skirt before Meghan when she was on a royal trip to South Korea’s capital in October 2019. According to Miranda, Meghan then wore the skirt also in October 2019 shortly after Queen Letizia did to attend a discussion on gender equality for the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust.

Meghan Markle seems to have been quite taken with Queen Letizia’s style as the pair have both worn similar outfits on many royal occasions. Queen Letizia and Meghan Markle have worn similar baby blue shirt dresses while on duty, as Queen Letizia wore her outfit while on an official trip to Mozambique while Meghan Markle wore a blue shirt dress to Tonga as part of a royal tour when she was still a working royal.

The two royals also both favour belted coats, as Meghan Markle is well-known for her iconic but simple coats in white and beige paired with knee-high boots, while Queen Letizia has also been spotted wearing similar outfits, only she has favoured making a statement in red.

Meghan has also been known for her simple but elegant formal outfits such as her black trousers paired with a shirt plus black heels, and Queen Letizia is also known for her similar chic look in dark neutral colours.

On TikTok, Miranda Holde’s comment section was divided on which royal had the best look. Someone else in the comments said that Meghan Markle has a “Califonia elegance” and is the best dressed out of the pair and another comment said that Meghan Markle had a “classic Southern Califonia style.”

Another popular comment argued that Meghan had not been “able to pull off” the same outfits as Queen Letizia while someone else said there was a “huge difference” in how both royals looked. They added that they thought Meghan Markle looked “very unkept” in her style.

Someone else said that Meghan Markle “always slays” while another user was upset over the implementation that the Duchess of Sussex was inspired by the Spanish Queen, as they wrote: “The Duchess Meghan has her own style, she looked to no one.”

However, the most popular comment on the video by a user named Audrey said: “Queen Letizia is the best-dressed royal! I am always amazed she doesn’t get more press on this.”
