The Duchess of Sussex showed off one of her style tricks as she left the National Theatre following a private visit the afternoon.
Meghan, 38, who is patron of the National, was spotted draping, or ‘shrobing’, her elegant navy blue coat over her crisp pale blue shirt as she left the theatre on London’s South Bank.
The Duchess looked perfectly polished for the outing, teaming the shirt and coat with a pair of flattering wide-leg trousers and sweeping her hair back into a slightly relaxed updo.
The royal is no stranger to ‘shrobing’, and loves to drape her coats over her outfits. In 2017 she wore a burgundy leather coat over her shoulders at the Invictus Games, while she was first seen sporting the trend in 2014.

She joins other celebrities, such as Anna Wintour, Victoria Beckham, Kim Kardashian and Princess Diana, who have championed the look.
While the ‘shoulder-robe’ – shortened to shrobing by fashion insiders – is more typically seen on fashion editors on the front row than the likes of senior royals, Meghan isn’t the first member of the royals to adopt the draping technique.
That accolade goes to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, who was doing it as far back as 1981.
Meghan was first pictured with her jacket draped over her shoulders back in 2014.
Most recently Meghan was spotted shrobing when she joined Prince Harry at the WellChild Awards in London last year. On that occasion she wore her £1185 camel coat by Sentaler, over her fitted green wool dress by P.A.R.O.S.H, pictured
Just a month before her wedding, Meghan accompanied Harry to the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting and sported Camilla and Marc blazer artfully draped over her shoulders, rather than putting her arms through the sleeves

It may have been a fashion week fad when it first emerged but the trend – known variously as slinging, draping and shrobing – but it has stayed the course, with US Vogue’s editor-in-chief Anna Wintour among those still stubbornly refusing to use sleeves in the traditional way.
Stylist and blogger, Simon Glazin previously told FEMAIL that former Suits star Meghan is likely to have picked up her shrobing habit from her days of hob-nobbing with Hollywood types.
‘Love it or hate it, it’s a trend that is here to stay. Just like Victoria Beckham has perfected turning every single handbag, no matter how big, into a clutch, she has been a pioneer of the jacket drape too.
Meghan embraced the trend around the same time as it hit the front rows of fashion week first pictured with her jacket draped over her shoulders in 2014 (pictured)
‘Fashion editors have been doing it for decades. You only have to Google pictures of Anna Wintour or Diana Vreeland to see.
‘There is something effortlessly chic about ‘caping’ your jacket. A leather jacket draped over a form-fitting dress is Meghan’s favourite look.
‘Think of it as the new version of tying a preppy jumper round ones neck. It’s making a piece of clothing into an accessory.
‘All the Kardashian’s seem to be pros at this trend too, maybe Meghan is taking advice from Kim?’
