Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, have landed in Australia for their first visit since their royal tour in 2018. And since she arrived, Meghan has worn almost exclusively Australian fashion labels on her outings.
Since their last visit, the Duke and Duchess relinquished their royal status but retained their titles.
Follow our live blog of their visit here and the itinerary here.
In her first engagement at Melbourne’s Royal Children’s Hospital, Meghan wore a dress by the Sydney-based label, Karen Gee. She has worn designs by the label before, including on her royal visit in 2018. However, for her first official outing, she chose the Priscilla Dress in Navy.
The dress retails for $1250 and is available to purchase on Karen Gee’s website.
Royalists also spotted that her jewellery on that visit was by Real Fine Studio. Although it’s a Los Angeles-based jewellery brand, it was founded by Australian-born designer Eliza O’Connor. With her own connection to America, it’s a nice choice to make for her first visit to Australia since 2018.
Meghan wore the brand’s Puffy Heart Earrings.
“It’s such an honour to see Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, wearing our signature Puffy Heart Earrings!” said Eliza in a statement. “We have just touched down in Sydney from California ourselves ahead of our Australian trunk shows, so it feels fitting & makes this return to home soil even more special.”
She was also spotted wearing Real Fine Studio’s Signature Studs. They are 2.5ct per stud and made of 14K white gold.
According to the brand, they will be Meghan’s jeweller of choice for her 2026 visit.
Also in that second look, Meghan is wearing a suede bomber jacket and skirt by St Agni. She paired the look with a P Johnson Annie top in Khaki. Both are Australian brands.
Later on that day, Meghan opted for a Friends with Frank Anya dress. For Prince Harry’s speaking event at the Nexus Summit, Meghan wore Australian Fashion Laureate Emerging Designer of the Year 2024 Merino Long Sleeve Glove Top.
Meghan continued supporting Australian fashion as her visit continued. She wore Melbourne-based ESSEN The Label drop earrings to meet with survivors and heroes of the Bondi Beach Attack.
Meghan looked effortlessly glamourous in a Scanlan Theodore cashmere tie sleeveless tank and matching slouchy trouser for the Her Best Life Podcast’s live event at the Itnercontinental.
For her final look at the Allianz Stadium, Meghan sported a Camilla and Marc Evans Trench Coat with Australian brand Rollas’ Uptown Skinny Jeans.
“Anytime we see a royal wearing Australian fashion is special, not just for the brand. It resonates across our local industry,” said The Australian Women’s Weekly Style Director, Mattie Cronan. “These moments give brands incredible exposure on a global scale, and help boost local sales. It has been wonderful to see the Duchess of Sussex sporting a suede set by Byron Bay label St Agni, paired with P Johnson knit and Karen Gee so far on her trip to Australia.”
