meghan’s Sloane ranger make-over

She’s a California girl but suddenly she can’t get enough of posh British brands

- by Dinah van Tulleken

SHE’S been a plus-one at an ‘almost’ royal wedding, dodged paparazzi cameras and even attended a polo match where she was spotted kissing Prince Harry.

Now it seems Meghan Markle’s next advance into British hearts could be via her wardrobe.

The glamorous American actress, who’s been dating the Prince for more than a year, has been flying the flag for British home-grown luxury fashion brands including Hunter, Barbour and Burberry, and is rarely spotted without a Mulberry handbag hooked over one arm.

In fact, it’s fair to say the 35-year-old Los Angeles native is looking more like a Sloane Ranger by the day.

Leaving behind the tiny body-con dresses and high heels that made her every inch the Hollywood bombshell, she’s now more likely to be spotted in wellington boots and a wax jacket, which will undoubtedl­y go down much better with the ‘Firm’.

And the more time she spends this side of the Atlantic, the more British her wardrobe becomes — or could it be that the brands themselves have cottoned onto the ‘Meghan effect’, whereby anything she wears sells out instantly, and are showering the potential new royal with lavish gifts?

Either way, suddenly Los Angeles seems a very long way away. Here we reveal the brands that could be the making of a British princess. Additional reporting: Lucy holden
