Meghan Markle recycles £525 Veronica Beard dress worn in Tonga

The Duchess of Sussex made a quick outfit change this afternoon and recycled a blue Veronica Beard dress – which she was first seen wearing in Tonga last October.

Meghan, 38, changed into the belted fitted shirt dress, as she arrived at her next engagement with Prince Harry – a tour of the District Six Museum and a community cooking class with former residents of the area.   

The collared £525 Veronica Beard ‘Cary’ Dress ties at the waist, and has buttons down the front. When she last wore the dress it immediately sold out on the designer’s website. 

The Duchess paired the dress with a pair of £80 Castaner Carina Espadrilles, which she also wore earlier today, as her and Harry waved at the crowds as they arrived.  

Earlier she showed her support for African designers as she stepped out for their first royal tour engagement. Meghan, chose a £69 black and white wrap dress from Malawian brand Mayamiko as she joined Prince Harry, 35, in the Cape Flats, a township often described as South Africa’s ‘murder capital’.

Meghan’s hair was tied back earlier today but as she stepped out with her new outfit on her long brunette locks were free were free flowing and had a slight wave to them, falling over her shoulders.   

She also chose to change her jewelry – for the visit to Cape Flats she accessorised with a simple gold chain and a pair of £480 turquoise and diamond studs from Jennifer Meyer. This afternoon  she wore simple back and gold earrings. 

Meghan and Harry were greeted by very enthusiastic fans as they arrived at the District 6 museum in Cape Town – which honours thousands of families forcibly removed from the area during the apartheid.

The families were removed after the area, adjacent to the Cape Town business district, was declared whites-only and bulldozers moved in to demolish homes.

The decision to wear a lesser-known African designer could mark the start of a trend for the tour, with the Duchess of Sussex using the widespread public interest and media coverage to shine a spotlight on local talent.
