The Secret Meaning Behind Meghan Markle’s Stunning Green Ensemble

On March 9, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry made their final appearance in the UK as working members of the royal family, attending the annual Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey.

The 38-year-old Duchess dazzled from top to toe in a statement-making emerald green cape dress, a bespoke creation by New Zealand-born designer Emilia Wickstead, and matching fascinator designed by William Chambers.

Alongside a photo of Meghan in motion and her cape catching the wind, The House of Sussex Instagram fan page wrote: “He found his hero.” “She was a gift from above,” a second mused.

The powerful image was flooded with fans agreeing that the flowing cape style of made her look quite literally like a superhero.

Speaking to HELLO!, colour analyst Gabriella Winters said the choice of a green dress is no coincidence either, with the hue representing calmness.

“In colour psychology, green is not only the colour of perfect balance but of productivity and ‘fruitfulness’ as well. A person wearing green will exert an impression of composure, rationality and stability,” she told the publication.

The Duchess added some glamorous accessories to her heavenly look, a Gabriela Hearst handbag and her favourite Aquazzura nude pumps.

And if you look closely, you’ll also notice Prince Harry subtly matched with his wife – check out the sneak peek of the emerald green lining underneath his suit jacket!

Other eagle-eyed royal fans suggested that the Duchess was paying tribute to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, who wore a similar jewel-toned outfit while eight months pregnant with Prince Willian in 1982.

Of course, in the aftermath of Meghan and Harry’s decision to step back from their royal duties and relocate to Canada, a worldwide furore erupted over their polarising move, so never has there been a more appropriate time to keep calm (in a beautiful green Emilia Wickstead dress, no less) and carry on.

8 Telling Signs That Meghan Markle & Prince Harry Have Wanted To Break Away From Royal Life

Meghan Markle Looks Great, But Who’s Paying For Her Clothes?

Prince Harry Delivers A Sincere, Emotional Speech After Quitting Royal Life

Prince Harry broke his silence over the controversy in January, explaining that both he and Meghan made the decision together.

“The decision that I have made for my wife and I to step back, is not one I made lightly. It was so many months of talks after so many years of challenges. And I know I haven’t always gotten it right, but as far as this goes, there really was no other option,” he revealed in a heartfelt speech at the time.

And no matter what you think of Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s decision to step away from the royal spotlight, there’s no denying that for Meghan’s final appearance, she certainly went out with a bang – without saying anything at all.

Check out Meghan Markle’s other stunning looks from her final round of royal engagements in the gallery below.

For her final engagement as a working senior royal, Meghan wore a beautiful navy midi dress by Australian label Scanlan Theodore. The Melbourne-based brand’s chic short sleeve silhouette and regal hue certainly makes a statement!

The event saw the Duchess host 11 Scholars at Buckingham Palace who each represented different Commonwealth nations. At the royal residence, they discussed sustainability and economical opportunities for developing countries.

Meghan and Harry attended another meeting at Buckingham Palace a few days before in conjunction with the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust. Wearing a gorgeous, autumnal toffee coloured pleat dress by Preen, the Duchess proved she was on a fashion roll.

The pair talked to students about mental health, equal opportunities for all, and the importance of supporting youth leadership to help address global challenges and drive positive change around the world,” a Palace statement explained.

Details around Duchess Meghan’s intentions to mark International Women’s Day on March 8 were kept very hush-hush, so it came as the best surprise when it was revealed the royal had made a secret visit to an East London School. Meghan whacked together an apt all-female designed outfit, including a cream ME+EM tweet blazer, Jennifer Chamandi Lorenzo pumps and a chic purse by Rejina Pyo.

We’ll just be over here shopping for our own version of this heavenly cream blazer.

5. A striking red, also caped dress

Meghan made a fiery red statement as she attended the Mountbatten Music Festival on March 7. The Duchess opted for this glorious Safiyaa dress. The style is clearly a favourite for the Duchess – she previously wore a blue version of the frock back in 2018 while touring Fiji.

Yep – you’re not losing the plot! We can’t blame the Duchess for getting one of each colour – she looks incredible!

6. A poised pencil dress

Meghan and Harry made a dazzling debut back into the spotlight on March 5. After a short hiatus following their announcement that they would be stepping back from their royal duties, the Duke and Duchess were utterly glowing as they arrived at the Endeavour Fund Awards.

The Duchess oped for a bright blue Victoria Beckham midi dress for the occasion.

Suffice to say Meghan was positively radiant at the event. We’d be applauding at this heavenly fashion display, too!

7. A white puff-sleeved top
custom

In a delightful surprise, Harry and Meghan’s Instagram account, Sussex Royal, revealed the Duchess had made a secret visit to the National Theatre, where she had visited the Immersive Storytelling Studio based in London.

While it was exciting to see the Duchess back in action, we were downright ecstatic to ogle over her stunning outfit. Yep, a gorgeous puff-sleeve top by none other than High Street retailer TopShop, paired with a pencil skirt by Roland Mouret was nothing short of divine.

Excuse us, we’ll just be recreating this look immediately.
