The disguise game is back. Not the cheap, cartoonish kind either. We are talking about wigs. Glasses. Hats. The whole nine yards.
Meghan Markle is allegedly adopting a strategy that feels startlingly familiar. It’s a page out of her late mother-in-life’s playbook. Specifically, Princess Diana’s method of slipping under the radar.
Why the sudden shift?
According to insiders speaking with Rob Shuter on his Naughty but Nice Substack, the Duchess is going all in on invisibility. This started right after the family of four returned from their recent UK trip.
“She doesn’t want anyone to recognize her.”
Everything is planned. Every detail matters. The wig has to be right. The hat needs to cast a shadow. The glasses must obscure the eyes. She believes this is the only way to move without the flashing lights.
One insider put it bluntly.
“After the U.K., she’s become obsession with staying invisible.”
Now? She barely leaves the house without a disguise. It’s not just a hat for fun. It’s armor.
Does this sound familiar?
Princess Diana did this too. She famously wore oversized sweatshirts in public. Boring? Maybe. But it worked. Tabloids refused to buy or publish repetitive, dull photos. If there’s nothing to see, there’s nothing to print.
Diana’s former royal butler, Paul Burrell, documented these antics in his book A Royal Duty. He recalled Diana getting “particularly daring” sometimes. Getting her ready for these outings soon became part of his job description.
Remember the time he was sent to Selfridges?
He bought a shoulder-length straight brunette wig. Then he had to rush to an optician on Kensington High Street. He picked up large, round-rimmed spectacles. Diana couldn’t wait to try it on.
It was elaborate. It was intentional. It was effective.
Now Meghan is doing the same. She wants privacy. The cameras want a story. The disguise is the only thing standing in the way.
Is it working?
For now, it seems to. The paparazzi are still snapping photos. But recognizing the face behind the glasses? That’s harder.
The playbook remains the same. Change your look. Lose the identity. Walk away unseen.
