Every Single Thing Meghan Markle Wore On The Royal Tour Of South Africa

And where to shop it - by Isabelle Truman

Every Single Thing Meghan Markle Wore On The Royal Tour Of South Africa

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's 10-day trip to South Africa flew by with the couple, as well as four-month-old Archie Harrison, visiting six countries during their time overseas. The trip, which marked the Duchess of Sussex's official return from maternity leave, saw Meghan attend many solo engagements, a lot of which were focused around women's rights and ending gender-based violence in South Africa. 

With multiple outfit changes a day, the 38-year-old used her platform to highlight local designers, promote sustainable fashion and to rewear beloved items from her last royal tour. She also wore one style of dress a total of six times, which means we're guaranteed to see a spike in the sophisticated but relaxed look.

Below, everything Meghan wore while on the royal tour of South Africa.

While at Victoria Yards in Johannesburg this afternoon, The Duchess of Sussex had the opportunity to learn more about the importance of, and how to enable a 'wellbeing economy' thanks to Co-Director of the Maker's Valley Partnership, Simon Sizwe. Simon was awarded a full scholarship to attend the Young African Leaders Initiative programme initiated by President Obama, and he explained that by investing in the overall well-being of a community and its people, and focusing on that economy, you can enrich everyone for a better quality of life. She also met with the owners of Sobae Frozen, an entrepreneurial duo who created their small business as a solution to food waste, creating vegan sorbet from unused fruit from Victoria Yards. At the end of her visit, The Duchess was moved by the original poetry of Belita Andre, the winner of the Poetry Grandslam. In her reading she said: "The Maker's Valley is a social and enterprise hub, a wave between my corner of the world and yours. Insisting that beyond the anchors of survival. How to make sure that everyone gets to shore, pass around an ocean of stars, not because our sleepless nights are equal but because our dreams are." * #RoyalVisitSouthAfrica
