The Duchess of Sussex's life is meticulously documented, so when an unearthed photo of the stylish royal is uncovered, it's always a moment to behold. In images circulated by Instagram account @dresslikeaduchess, Meghan Markle was pictured looking as elegant as ever in a pleated pencil skirt, which just so happens to be a popular trend this season.
The mother-of-two turned out a modest but mystifying look in the flippy midi skirt which featured a monochrome colour palette crafted into vertical striped. She paired the statement piece with a simple black crew neck top and some black barely there heels.
