Stylist Susie Hasler, who runs Styled By Susie, told FEMAIL the look was a ‘conscious shift’ from the traditional ‘conservative royal look’.

She revealed: ‘Meghan choosing to wear a white shift dress for her charity appearance marks a conscious shift away from the typical, conservative royal look.’

The stylist added: ‘It’s a masculine style, which shows she’s in charge, and asserting her power. 

‘She wants to ensure the focus is purely on her charity work – there are no girly frills to detract the spotlight.’

The Duchess launched the Smart Set collection last September, which saw every item sold by the retailers matched with one item donated to SmartWorks.

Meghan privately visited Smart Works several times before being named as its royal patron in January last year and has a long-standing commitment to supporting women’s empowerment.

She released her sell-out Smart Set charity collection for the charity in September last month, and with every item bought during the sale of the collection, one was donated to Smart Works.

At the launch of the collection, Meghan’s best friend and designer Misha Nonoo credited the royal with coming up with the idea for the project herself.

Despite stepping back from royal duties alongside Prince Harry last month, Meghan has been permitted to maintain her patronages.  

Meanwhile the royal has also long favoured delicate gold jewellery and has become known for selecting highly personal pieces for royal appearances.

She has often worn pendants with the initials of Prince Harry and their son Archie. 

She is an advocate for many conscious jewelry lines, routinely shining a spotlight on them during her own moments center stage.

The mother-of-one notably opts for brands with values that align with hers. 

On Monday, Disney – which owns ABC, the network GMA is aired on – released the interview along with footage from the documentary in which Meghan can be heard narrating. 

In the interview, Meghan said she was ‘grateful’ to have been involved in the Disney+ documentary Elephant which she hopes will teach people how similar humans are to elephants and how ‘connected’ we are.

The couple moved from the UK to Canada and have now settled in Los Angeles. The proceeds from the Disney documentary will be donated to an elephant preservation charity.

Their message was sent from an official Sussex Royal email, despite the Queen banning them from using the title and them saying they plan to use Archewell.

They emailed the editors of these popular publications: the Daily Mail, the Daily Mirror, the Sun and the Daily Express.

It came hours after Prince Harry caused outrage by suggesting the coronavirus crisis sweeping Britain was ‘better than we are led to believe through certain corners of the media’.
