Meghan’s nod to Canada with Erdem coat on Commonwealth Day
The London-based designer, who was born in Canada, is also a go-to choice for Kate.
The Duchess of Sussex turned to Canadian-born designer Erdem for a trip to Canada House – and teamed her outfit with a pair of towering heels.
On Commonwealth Day, heavily pregnant Meghan chose an elegant bespoke green coat decorated with black floral embellishments by Erdem, and Aquazzura Deneuve Black Bow Pointy Toe Pumps.
The duchess and the Duke of Sussex were meeting young Canadians in London who are forging ahead in the fields of fashion, tech entrepreneurship, business and the arts.
Former actress Meghan lived in Toronto for several years while filming Suits.
Erdem was tipped to design Meghan’s wedding dress, but in the end the duchess wore a pure white boat neck wedding gown by Clare Waight Keller for Givenchy.
Meghan’s accessories at the Commonwealth event included a black Givenchy satin clutch.
But she was without her diamond engagement ring, and was wearing only her wedding band.
But Meghan’s engagement ring actually appeared to be loose when she appeared on stage at WE Day UK with Harry last week, with the diamond facing the wrong way round as she waved at the audience.
Later, Meghan switched outfits for the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey.
Kate, who was among the senior royals attending the annual event, wore a red Catherine Walker coat and matching dress.
