A perfect match! The hosiery brand that has changed Megan Markle's opinion on tights after the Duchess struggled to find the best pair for her skin tone
- Duchess of Sussex, 37, started wearing tights after her wedding to Prince Harry
- She found her match with hosiery brand that claims to sell every skin colour
- Tights not mandatory for royal family but seen as form of respect to elder royals
When Meghan stepped out in tights which were too pale for her skin colour one hosiery brand made sure they were there to help her.
Unlike her sister-in-law Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle, 37, is not a fan of nude tights and before marrying into the family, she gladly walked sans-tights.
However The Duchess of Sussex raised eyebrows when she wore tights that were lighter than her natural skin colour on her first outing as a married woman.
At Prince Charles' 70th birthday celebrations at Buckingham Palace, three days after her wedding to Prince Harry, she wore nude tights with her outfit, but they stood out for being too light.
Meghan now, however, seems to have found her match with Heist, a British hosiery brand that offer tights for every skin shade.

By the time she attended another reception at Buckingham Palace with the Princess Royal in March, Meghan's legs looked much more natural in these tights. Hosiery brand Heist, claim that the Duchess ordered a selection of their tights and loves them
'We’re thrilled that Meghan Markle is a fan of our tights, and one of the thousands of women who support our brand,' a Heist spokesperson told People.
Heist claim they got in touch with the Duchess of Sussex after her Buckingham Palace appearance to offer her a selection of their nude tights.
The tights are a seamless toe-to-toe tube (i.e. gusset-free) and come with an adaptable waistband, low or high waisted, Heist tights claim to make digging, sagging or rolling a thing of the past.
To begin with Heist were disappointed when their tights gift was returned to them, after the Palace said that the Royal family are not allowed to accept gifts. But shortly after, Kensington Palace put in an order in with them for Meghan.
Heist worked with 85,000 women to develop their tights, and claim to sell tights in every skin colour
'The tights were a much better match for her and like many of our customers, they say when you know, you just know,' says the hosiery spokesperson, who confirms that Meghan has continued to wear the brand since.
Heist said it worked with about 85,000 women to develop their tights.
While the rest of the world have turned their backs on pantyhose, they are believed to be a staple for women of the royal family. Observers noted Meghan Markle only started donning the tights after her marriage to Prince Harry when before, she would let her calves breathe free.
The tights are not mandatory but they're seen as a mark of respect towards the eldest members of the royal family, and especially towards the queen.
