People Are Really Reading Into Meghan Markle's Latest Hairstyle
In the world of royals, it’s hard to know anything for sure. Does Meghan Markle stroll outside with her dog and pick up after it? If onlookers are to be believed, yes. Every time the wind blows, does William remember what it’s like to have hair? Probably not. The one royal theory that historically holds weight is the legend of Kate Middleton’s hair. Right before big, usually pregnancy-related news comes out of the palace, she debuts a freshened-up hairstyle, cut, or color. And because immediately after a woman gets married (or engaged) there’s a frenzy to ask when she’s having kids, people are wondering if the same hair theory will apply to Meghan. Because if it does, they’ve found something to talk about.
As we all know, people will latch onto anything for royal baby significance. So while Meghan’s sleek buns and smooth waves are well-documented, she attended Monday’s inaugural Coach Core Awards in Loughborough, England, with straightened hair. Straight hair isn’t ground-breaking, but it is a notable departure from her usual routine. And because any tiny change in texture gives people an excuse to talk, people are speculating that it means she’s pregnant.

Sisters-in-law probably do talk, but given that people are thirsty to compare Meghan and Kate in every way, we’re taking the chatter with a grain of salt (TBT to middle school and the politics of “copying”). Twitter for its part has lots of feelings on the matter:

It could be that she was just making the most of her chance to get on the court and work up some volume that way, while also taking advantage of the prime hair flip opportunities (or she knew an updo would fall out). And maybe she enjoyed the way Prince Harry fixed her hair in the wind last week, and decided to go loose from there.
But, let’s be real, she probably just felt like wearing her hair straight.
