Growing up, a lot of things influence your sense of style.
(Personally, we often gravitated towardsBaby Spice’s signature pigtails and bangs.)
But for Meghan Markle, her hair inspo came from someone outside the realm of pop royalty.

Unfortunately, the cut didn’t exactly work out for the future royal.
“It was a real bummer.”
Markle explained (viaPeople).

“All I wanted was that perfect, little curly haircut.”
So, she eventually asked her mom to take her the hairdressers and get the dream cut.
“I was like, ‘This is amazing.
I look like Andie MacDowell in ‘Four Weddings and a Funeral’!”
she exclaimed, before realizing that her hair wasn’t going to style the same way.
