Rule, Britannia.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry made their first official joint outing since moving back to the UK on Thursday, and the duchess dressed for the occasion in head-to-toe British labels.
Markle, 45, layered a burgundy Joseph wool-and-cashmere coat ($2,305) over the brand’s matching cashmere turtleneck ($545) for a day of charity visits in Nottingham.
She added a purple crepe midi skirt by The Fold London, leather skinny belt, Jennifer Chamandi pumps and a Joseph bag.
She kept her jewelry minimal, sticking to her go-to wrist stack — Cartier’s Love bracelet ($7,950) and Princess Diana’s Tank Française watch — as well as her Welsh gold wedding band, a gold signet ring and her Oura ring.
The Joseph pieces are a tidy callback to her first walkabout as Prince Harry’s fiancée in December 2017, when Markle teamed a neutral Joseph skirt with a Wolford turtleneck and a navy coat from Canadian brand Mackage. That visit took place in Nottingham, too.
Royal dress codes were new territory for the former actress then, as she explained in Netflix’s 2022 docuseries “Harry & Meghan.” “Should I wear these earrings? Are these a British designer?” Markle recalled asking Harry.
Nearly nine years later, she’s clearly done her homework.
Harry, 42, wore a gray blazer, white shirt and jeans for the couple’s first stop at the Community Recording Studio, which supports young people affected by violence.
Outside, Markle told one well-wisher, “It’s great to be back.” When another fan showed them a throwback photo from 2017, she replied, “That’s so special.”
The Sussexes, who now live in the Cotswolds with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, have kept a fairly low profile since relocating in August, though Markle has made a few solo appearances.
Last week, Markle carried a Chanel bag to tea with Malala Yousafzai at Claridge’s. On Sunday, she launched a charity sweatshirt she helped design benefiting Moms Offering More and Alliance of Moms.
