Since stepping away from royal life, Meghan Markle has remained in the spotlight, dazzling Us with her timeless fashion.
The California native and her husband, Prince Harry, announced in January 2020 that they would be taking a “step back as senior members of the Royal Family.” The news shocked the world and strained the couple’s relationship with Harry’s brother Prince William and his wife, Princess Kate. (Author Robert Lacey claimed in a June 2021 Daily Mail op-ed that, privately, the siblings were “at each other’s throats as fiercely as ever.”)
Following their royal exit, Meghan and Harry moved to California, launched their Archewell Foundation, sat down for a bombshell CBS interview and signed a Netflix deal. In December 2022, the streaming platform dropped a trailer for the Sussexes’ new “in-depth” documentary series, Harry & Meghan, which will chronicle their triumphs and challenges since meeting in 2016. The lovebirds tied the knot in 2018 and share son Archie, who was born in 2019, and daughter Lilibet, who arrived in 2021.
Additionally, Meghan has unveiled her “Archetypes” podcast as well as the 40×40 project in 2021 — a mentorship initiative. Harry, meanwhile, revealed a forthcoming memoir titled Spare, which is expected in 2022.
While busy, Meghan and Harry have managed to make several appearances in the U.K. and in the U.S., with the Suits alum commanding attention through her impeccable wardrobe.
In March 2020, the duo attended their final public engagement before officially stepping back when they were seen arriving at Westminster Abbey for a Commonwealth Day service. Meghan was a vision in green, donning a flattering Emilia Wickstead dress and a fascinator by William Chambers. She accessorized with a forest green handbag and sported beige pointed-toe pumps.
Flash-forward to November 2021 when Meghan and Harry made their first red carpet appearance in over a year at the Salute to Freedom Gala. For the soiree, the Bench author turned heads in a red Carolina Herrera gown that was equipped with a billowing skirt and a subtle slit. She styled the look with rosy pumps from Giuseppe Zanotti and wore her hair in a sleek updo. Harry, for his part, sported a Giorgio Armani tuxedo.
Another standout moment from Meghan came in 2022. The duchess traveled with her husband to the Netherlands for the Invictus Games on April 15 of that year, slaying in a white suit by Valentino. The look was a breath of fresh air as it included a loose-fitting blazer and high-waisted pants. The following day, Meghan took the stage to introduce Harry at the opening ceremony, wearing a ruched top and tailored black trousers, staying true to her classic aesthetic.
In June 2022, Meghan and Harry returned to London to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee. The duo was photographed at the National Service of Thanksgiving at St. Paul’s Cathedral walking hand-in-hand. Meghan wowed in a Christian Dior Haute Couture coat dress, which she teamed with a hat designed by Stephen Jones.
For the queen’s funeral in September 2022, the philanthropist showed her appreciation for the late monarch wearing dainty pearl-drop earrings Her Majesty gifted her. The Duchess of Sussex paired the jewels, which she was given by Elizabeth in 2018, with a wide-brimmed hat and a cape dress. Meghan wore a similar dress in navy while celebrating the Queen’s 92nd birthday in 2018.
