Meghan coordinated the ensemble with a pair of £815 Chris canvas and leather slippers from Yves Saint Laurent in golden brown.

In the autumn of 1994, the late Princess of Wales was shopping in Knightsbridge, wearing a chic blazer and white trousers.
She chose to wear oversized sunglasses, a cream turtleneck with a jade green blazer and an ivory and brown back that hung elegantly over her shoulder.
She paired this with a brown belt and white skinny jeans, along with shoes that look almost identical to the flats Meghan wore.

Meghan added a little more glamor by wearing Diana’s gold Cartier Tank Française watch.
The £17,800 gold watch was worn by Diana on a number of occasions, including a 1997 visit to the Shri Swaminarayan Mandir Hindu Temple in London and an engagement at the British Lung Foundation that same year.
Meghan is known to be a fan of the elegant timepiece and released her own two-tone version in 2015 when Suits was picked up for a third season.
Meghan has received several items from Diana’s collection as gifts. This includes Diana’s butterfly earrings and gold bracelet that she wore during their 2018 Australian tour.
Still, the watch is a favorite and she is often seen wearing it. The watch was given to Diana by her father on her 21st birthday.

Harry and Meghan were spotted arriving in Los Angeles on Monday after an 18-hour marathon flight from Nigeria, amid a row over the operational status of their California charity.
The couple was photographed being taken away by a car at Los Angeles International Airport’s ‘Private Suites’ facility.
The Duke and Duchess have called the semi-royal tour “fantastic” and said it will be the “first of many memorable trips” – including a moment when Meghan hailed Nigeria as “her country” after a DNA test suggested she shared was part of the trip. Nigerian.
They landed back in the United States just hours before California authorities confirmed that a “delinquency” row involving their charity, the Archewell Foundation, had been resolved following confusion over an unprocessed check.
The California Department of Justice has labeled the charity, which took in about US$9 million ($7.1 million) less in donations in 2022 than the year before, as “not in good standing” for allegedly failing to pay a renewal fee of $200.
