The Duchess of Sussex has been operating under the radar in Montecito for most of this year, swerving public appearances in favour of quality time with her husband Prince Harry and their young children, Archie and Lilibet.
Royal fashion obsessives were served up a serious sartorial treat this month when Meghan stepped out to support Harry at the 2023 Invictus Games in Düsseldorf, Germany.
Championing ultra-wearable neutrals, Meghan kept her colour palette firmly on the more muted end of the spectrum. But the former actress accented her earthy tones with flecks of covetable gold jewellery.
Her post-palace packing list melded preppy separates alongside some long-time wardrobe favourites, resulting in a masterclass in spectator dressing.

Affordable elegance

Off-duty understated

Sucker for skinnies

Cali Girl playsuit

True blue

Green goddess
