Meghan’s farewell tour outfits as she says she wanted to ‘look like a rainbow’
The Duchess of Sussex has explained why she chose colourful ensembles for the couple’s final UK outings.
In the second instalment of Netflix’s Harry & Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex has revealed why she opted for a trio of brightly coloured outfits during the royal couple’s farewell tour of the UK.
Speaking in episode five, Meghan said: “Until that last week in the UK, I rarely wore colour and I never wanted to upstage or ruffle any feathers, so I just tried to blend in.
“But I wore a lot of colour that week. I felt, ‘Well, let’s just look like a rainbow.'”
Speaking in a previous episode, the 41-year-old explained that her usual colour palette of “camel, beige, white” was a deliberate choice.
“There was thought in that. To my understanding, you can’t ever wear the same colour as Her Majesty if there’s a group event,” she said.
“I wore a lot of muted tones but it also was so I could just blend in. Like I’m not trying to stand out here.”
In light of Meghan’s sartorial revelation, we look back at her bold ensembles on the farewell tour of March 2020:
Endeavour Fund Awards
The sleek, short-sleeved design was accessorised with a petrol blue marble print clutch bag by Stella McCartney and navy Manolo Blahnik heels.
Mountbatten Festival of Music
The floor-length gown was teamed with a red satin Manolo Blahnik clutch with a bejewelled buckle and matching suede high heels.
Commonwealth Day service
Topped with a William Chambers pillbox hat in the same shade, Meghan carried a bottle green bag by Gabriella Hearst and wore her trusty Aquazzura nude court heels.
