Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, made a surprise appearance via video to introduce her photographer friend Misan Harriman’s TED Talk over the weekend.

The brief intro was all it took to send royal watchers buzzing about Meghan — not for anything she said but for her new look, which garnered mixed reviews for the American royal.


The former Meghan Markle sported sleek hair that appears to now have a slightly lightened hue, and some started to make comparisons to Catherine, Princess of Wales.

ā€œPLASTIC SURGERY ALERT? Sad Meghan markle wants to be Kate Middleton so bad,ā€ one Twitter user speculated.

Another added, ā€œShe looks like she’s trying to look like Kate….that won’t happen.ā€

Some didn’t see the comparison to Kate but instead to the singer Jennifer Lopez.


Others praised Meghan’s altered appearance. A cosmetic marketing agency, the Cosmic Lane, tweeted, ā€œOur good sis, Meghan Markle looks good! Is it the new hair, being stress free & living on her own terms orrrrrr we noticing a few tweakments?ā€

ā€œMeghan didn’t have plastic surgery. It’s all about lighting, angles, and contouring,ā€ one Twitter user wrote.


The U.K.’s Telegraph best summed up the surprising reveal by saying, ā€œWhatever the reason behind Meghan’s decision to reveal her glossy new makeover, the message is clear — this is a woman firmly in control of her own narrative.ā€
