Whether it’s for her chic style or her humanitarian work,Meghan Markleis a royal influencer on the rise. So who areherinfluences and inspirations? We take a look:
Her Mom, Doria Ragland
Meghan has credited her mom for her love of yoga — but more importantly, the act of giving back.
“My mom’s a yoga instructor, but she does social work as well, and she works specifically with the geriatric community,” she wrote in anessay forGlamourmagazinelast year. “For me to watch this level of life-long sensitivity to nurturing and caregiving, but at the same time my mom has always been a free spirit. We can just have so much fun together, and yet, I’ll still find so much solace in her support. That duality coexists the same way it would in a best friend.”
Audrey Hepburn
Sharing a love of the chic French fashion house Givenchy, it’s clear to see that Meghan takes more than a little style inspiration from the late actress and philanthropist, Audrey Hepburn.

Emmanuelle Alt
In aninterview with U.K’sGlamourmagazine, Meghan said her go-to date night outfit would simply be jeans, a nice top and a blazer.
“Basically, what Emmanuelle Alt would wear! She is my style spirit animal! Her and Geraldine Saglio [a French stylist]. I have now started to do that thing where you tear out pictures for inspiration of how you’re going to dress for the day.”

Rosie the Riveter
When it comes to campaigning for women’s rights, Meghan started young.
“Growing up, I had a poster in my room of Rosie flexing her biceps,” she wrote in theGlamouressay. “When I was in grade school, I saw this sexist commercial for dish soap. With Rosie’s ‘We can do it!’ mantra in mind, I wrote a letter to Procter & Gamble, Hillary Clinton andNick Newsanchor Linda Ellerbee, who sent a camera crew to meet me. Guess what? They changed the commercial.”
