The Duchess of Sussex, 45, was photographed rocking a number of U.S. and U.K. designers while grabbing lunch with Malala Yousafzai on Thursday, October 8, in London. For her off-duty ensemble, she rocked a tan London-based Tove Studio coat, which retails for $1,898, with a sand-colored knit from an LA-based shop named CO. She made her look even more timeless with white Ralph Lauren satin pants ($2,250).

Markle accessorized with a black $9,000 Chanel clutch, which she tucked under her arm, and a tote bag with orange and green patterned handles. Of course, no outfit is complete without the perfect amount of bling. She wore Logan Hollowell’s Lovers Duet Diamond and Emerald necklace ($21,425) and gold bangles on her wrist. In total, her outfit cost around $36,000.

For glam, Markle looked chic with soft makeup including dewy skin, a touch of blush and pink lips. Her eyebrows were perfectly manicured and she beamed while greeting Malala, 29. Markle completed her look by parting her brunette hair down the middle and slicking her mane back into a bun.

Malala, for her part, wore a tan blazer, striped pants and a black blouse. The duo ate sandwiches and sipped on tea at Claridge’s.

Markle’s afternoon out on the town comes after she and Prince Harry relocated from Montecito, California, back to the United Kingdom with their two kids, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5. BBC first reported their arrival in London on August 26, six years after the duo stepped down from their senior royal roles.

A source exclusively opened up to Us about their relocation, sharing, “Harry is not as happy in the U.S. as he is in the U.K.” The insider added that they are “open to a new chapter” and wanted to live “outside of London,” instead of in the heart of the city.
