Swapping sunny Montecito for sunny Melbourne, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle touched down in Australia on Monday night, eight years after they visited as newlyweds on their first overseas tour after the royal wedding. In the years since, the couple stepped down as senior royals and started a new independent life in California, but they have still lined up a host of charitable engagements for their informal tour, which will take in Melbourne, Canberra, and Sydney.
Life may look very different now from the last time she was down under, but Meghan’s chosen outfit for day one wasn’t a major departure from her original tour uniform: she wore a sleeveless dress by Australian label Karen Gee (she’s still doing diplomatic dressing even post-palace), paired with Dior shoes and jewelry from Real Fine Studio.
Monochrome remains a constant in the Duchess’s public-facing wardrobe: she tends to stick to neutral creams and khakis, a palette she also leaned on during the couple’s tour of Jordan earlier this year, where she wore multiple looks by Veronica Beard. The same pared-back approach was on display again, echoed in the suede St Agni skirt and jacket—another Aussie brand—she later chose for a visit to the Australian National Veterans’ Art Museum.
It was then announced that, through a new partnership and investment deal with AI-powered fashion platform OneOff, her entire Aussie tour wardrobe would be made shoppable.
On day two, Meghan and Harry attended the Nexus Summit alongside a line-up of investors, social entrepreneurs, campaigners, and philanthropists. They both sat on a panel, and opted for muted looks; Harry in a black shirt and jeans, Meghan in and Bardot style knit top from Beare Park, black cigarette pants by DISSH cinched with a Camilla and Marc belt, and strappy black sandals from Emme Parsons.
Day three kicked off with a surprise announcement that Meghan would be a guest judge on MasterChef Australia. The new season, which kicks off this weekend, will feature Meghan in a later episode. Posing for a promo picture with her fellow judges, she wore a black billowy Matteau blouse and a black Camilla and Marc pencil skirt, paired with a favorite pair of Manolo Blahnik pumps and Paspaley drop earrings.
