As she visited the Los Angeles National Cemetery with husband Prince Harry, Meghan looked sombre in a black belted midi coat from Brandon Maxwell which was broken up with the splash of red from her poppy.
The elegant design is thought to be a custom design based on the designer’s pleated wool-twill and silk-organza coat, which features shoulder pads and a tailored waist. Clearly a popular style, the £3,335 coat is selling out in all sizes.

The Duchess of Cambridge stepped out in a military-style jacket from Catherine Walker as well as a Philip Treacy hat. She was pictured singing alongside the Duchess of Cornwall, who stood a safe distance away wearing a black lace-trim coat, matching hat and pearl accessories.
