Meghan Markle adopts disguise tactics to stay low‑profile after UK visit

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is reportedly using a range of disguises – such as baseball caps, oversized hooded sweatshirts, dark sunglasses, wigs and hats – to avoid paparazzi when moving about her Montecito, California residence. Insiders quoted by royal reporter Rob Shuter say the measures are “carefully planned” and that she rarely leaves the house without some form of visual concealment.

The strategy, which intensified after a recent family trip to the United Kingdom, has drawn comparisons to the privacy methods employed by Princess Diana. Observers note that both women have relied on ordinary clothing items and accessories to slip unnoticed through public spaces, a practice now being revived by Markle to maintain privacy amid renewed media scrutiny.
