Meghan Markle Attends Her First Event as a Duchess

last updated 14 August 2019

What will Meghan Markle wear for her first event as the Duchess of Sussex? Well, we didn't have to wait long to answer that question. Markle looked every bit the royal attending the Prince of Wales's 70th birthday event. For the occasion, just three days after her much-anticipated wedding, Markle went for a monochrome look, including a traditional hat, a pretty A-line midi dress, tights, and a pair of Tamara Mellon Siren Pumps ($450) all in the same nude hue. As for her dress, she selected the Goat Flavia Silk-Crepe Pencil Dress ($450), which predictably is already sold out.

Of course, now everyone is eagerly awaiting news of Prince Harry and Markle's honeymoon—when will they leave, and where are they going? You can bet we can't wait to find out. In the meantime, scroll down to see Markle's first appearance as a duchess.
