Prince Harry and Meghan learnt about the charity's youth-led advocacy addressing issues ranging from early marriage and to gender-based violence, access to education and healthcare, and the plight of internally displaced children.

Adding to her unmistakably polished appearance, the mother-of-two elevated her look by sweeping her raven hair into a slick ballerina bun, drawing attention to her oversized gold earrings. 

Meghan stayed loyal to her usual jewellery combination, consisting of the late Princess Diana's gold Cartier watch, a diamond tennis bracelet from Ariel Gordon Jewellery, and her alluring 'Against Evil Eye' five eye diamond pave bracelet ($18,000) from Lorraine Schwartz. 

"Meghan sure looks good in those halterneck tops," declared a royal style fan via Instagram page @royalfashionpolice. "I think it's because of her toned shoulders," quipped another fan. "Couldn't agree more. Beautiful."

Meghan's second dress wedding dress was designed by Stella McCartney

Rewind to 2018, when newlywed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tied the knot at St George's Chapel in Windsor.

After shining in her beautiful £100,000 wedding dress designed by Givenchy's Clare Waight Keller, Meghan slipped into a far bolder dress for the evening reception. 

The former Suits actress chose to wear a beguiling halter-neck dress designed by Stella McCartney.
