Meghan Markle is trying to win hearts with ‘carefully crafted humble image’ on royal tour of Africa

MEGHAN Markle is trying to win hearts with a carefully crafted humble image on her royal tour of South Africa, sources say.

The Duchess of Sussex has chosen to wear inexpensive outfits and left her £250,000 engagement ring at home as she tries to shift opinion.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry also allowed baby Archie to be candidly photographed for the first time as he met Archbishop Desmond Tutu last week.

Previously, all an eager public were allowed to see of the newest royal, born in May, was a series of formal snaps released by the Palace.

Meghan, 38, is being advised on her image repair by Hollywood PR guru pal Keleigh Thomas Morgan and others at Sunshine Sachs.

The LA firm is known for celeb crisis management – although it insists it’s only been hired to help with Harry and Meg’s charitable Sussex Foundation.

But a source told The New York Post: “Meghan knew she needed help, [so] she reached out to a very few trusted people, including Keleigh.

“She has a few girlfriends in the UK who are extremely well-versed in British media”, the close Meghan insider said.

The Duke and Duchess’s decisions come after what had been dubbed by one source as their “summer of hell”.

They had been plagued by criticism over their £2.4million home refurb – and plush private jet travel while preaching about the environment.

Meghan, who has previously been accused of “hiding” baby Archie, was last night pictured cradling him as they boarded a flight to Johannesburg.

She wore a simple and elegant outfit consisting of a white shirt and skinny black jeans with a pair of flat pumps for the short British Airways jaunt.

It comes after the Sussex Royal Instagram account posted a video of the family walking to see Archbishop Tutu as Harry told his son: “You’re going to meet Arch, Arch.”

During her first royal tour — of Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga — a year ago, Meghan wore pricey goods by Stella McCartney and Oscar de la Renta.

This time she plumped for a Madewell denim jacket — roughly £80 — and pulled outfits out of the back of her wardrobe.

She wore dresses by Veronica Beard and Martin Grant, both of which she wore while she was pregnant.

She also sent an eco-friendly message by wearing brands that practice sustainability.

The Duchess also showed her compassionate side by embracing and dancing with locals.

And she visited a memorial to a murdered South African student as a “personal gesture” after “closely following the story,” a Buckingham Palace spokeswoman said.

She and Harry also wore “justice” bracelets that honour The Justice Desk – a nonprofit initiative that supports female empowerment.

The royals hope that the 10-day trip will remind a once adoring public why they fell in love with the fairy-tale couple.
