Meghan Markle’s sartorial olive branch to the Beckhams? After their friendship soured, how the Duchess wearing a £600 VB silk shirt during couple’s Colombia tour could get things back on track
Meghan Markle looked elegant in a silky brown ensemble during a conference about online safety on the first day of her and Prince Harry‘s Colombia tour this week – and it seems her chosen outfit might also prove a friendship healer.
The Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry, who share children Archie, five, and Lilibet, three, are touring the South American nation on a ‘quasi-royal’ four-day visit.
When the couple attended the ‘Responsible Digital Future’ forum at EAN University in Bogota on Thursday evening, Meghan was wearing a £597 chocolate brown shirt by none other than her one-time friend Victoria Beckham.
It’s believed to be the first time the Duchess has worn one of Mrs Beckham’s designs since relations between the two couples were first rumoured to have cooled in 2018.
Meghan will know that wearing a VB design to such a high profile occasion is likely to please the British designer she once called a friend – and might get the pals back on track.
The Duchess combined the earthy coloured top half with a pair of glossy relaxed trousers and a set of burnt orange suede sandals in ‘Divine 85’ Cognac Brown Suede from the luxury brand Aquazzura.
The autumnal coloured heels cost £617 ($795) from the Italian brand from where the former royal regularly tops up her shoe collection.
She completed the sophisticated look with a delicate pair of Birks Muse Citrine And Diamond Drop Earrings. The expensive set featuring 14ct citrine and 0.35ct diamond are made of 18kt yellow gold and cost a hefty £1964 ($2,530).
