Meghan Markle stuns in royal blue in first public appearance since Archie’s birth at Trooping the Colour with Kate Middleton wearing sunny yellow
MEGHAN Markle has made her first public appearance since the birth of Royal baby Archie Harrison at the Trooping the Colour parade – stunning the crowds in royal blue.
The Duchess of Sussex, who gave birth just a month ago, looked every inch a princess for the Queen’s 93rd birthday parade, wearing a plain dress with a matching blue overcoat and fascinator.
The new mum’s blue overcoat is detailed with a golden fastening at the waist, matching the gold detail on her leather clutch purse.
Meghan chose her signature natural makeup, opting for a light brow, lip gloss and blush, with her hair pulled up into a bun, revealing her large diamond earrings.
The clothing ensemble is designed by Clare Waight Keller, the mind behind Meghan’s Givenchy wedding gown last year, with the hat created by Noel Stewart.
Officially returning to Royal duty, the Duchess of Sussex arrived at Horse Guards Parade in London to watch the 1,400 troops march at the yearly event.
Meghan steered clear of the state visit by American president Donald Trump last week following rumours he had dubbed her nasty, and also wasn’t present at the 75th D-Day anniversary.
But the Duchess made an extra special effort to attend the parade, which has been celebrated for the last 260 years, alongside husband Prince Harry.
Plenty of other Royals are in attendance, too, including the Duchess of Camrbidge, Kate Middleton, who sat opposite Meghan in their horse drawn carriage to the event.
Kate stepped out in a regal pale yellow matching the sunshine of the morning, sitting next to mother-in-law Camilla, who chose a mint green.
Kate paired her dress with a yellow fascinator hat, decorated with large material flowers, pearl drop earrings belonging to the Queen, with her hair pinned up in a bun.
The dress is designed by Alexander McQueen, a firm favourite of the Duchess, having worn his designs to events throughout her Royal career.
Royal fans have already taken to social media to share the love for the Duchesses outfits, dubbing the pair ‘stunningly beautiful’ and looking every inch ‘princesses’.
“I’m crying – Meghan looks amazing,” one woman shared on Twitter. “Even though she only recently gave birth, she still looks gorgeous.”
“The best part of Trooping the Colour is seeing what the women are wearing,” another wrote. “Meghan Markle looks stunning – so beautiful.”
A third agreed: “Kate always looks so elegant and I love pastel colours on her.” While someone added: “She’s stepped out today looking like a real princess.”
In other Royal news, last year, Meghan stunned the crowds with her debut at the Trooping the Colour in a pink off the shoulder buttoned dress, matched with a simple pink hat.
While Prince Louis is set to make his first public appearance today on Buckingham Palace’s balcony alongside his siblings George and Charlotte.
And Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s private wedding photos were leaked on Instagram after their photographer was hacked.
