Meghan Markle is known for her enviably thick, luscious locks.

Eagle-eyed royal fans will have noticed that the Duchess has had a subtle haircut in recent photos – and some think there’s a clever reason for it.

Celebrity hair stylist James Johnson said he believes Meghan has had the layers added in to thin out her hair during her pregnancy as it will be thickening.

Speaking to Femail, James said: "It looks like Meghan really has had a subtle haircut recently with more fine layers around her face.

"I think the reason Meghan has cut layers into her hair is because she’s pregnant.

"Your hair cycle stops when you’re pregnant which means the hair you would usually lose on a daily basis doesn’t shed until you give birth – when you lose it all in one go."

He said he thinks the Duchess, who is four to five months pregnant, made the subtle change to get the weight out of her hair so it doesn’t look thicker than normal.

If Meghan cut her hair more dramatically it risks distracting from the important work the royal family are doing.

"Diana was also very aware of this," he added.

People have also speculated about whether Meghan might cut her hair more dramatically after she gives birth – like Kate did after Louis.

Kate’s hair is still styled in her trademark bouncy curls but its noticeable shorter.

Having thick, long locks to manage as well as looking after a newborn is tough work and by simply lopping off a few inches her haircare regime instantly becomes more manageable.

James suggested that Kate may do this as some women feel "refreshed and empowered" after having a baby.

Kensington Palace announced last month that Harry and Meghan will welcome their first child in spring 2019, after marrying in May of this year.
