Meghan Markle rocks three-year-old denim jacket on royal tour

Meghan Markle has dressed down for the second day of her and Prince Harry’s African tour—and greeted waiting crowds in a three-year-old denim jacket.

The duchess’ look is a move away from typically formal royal tour attire and comes just one day after she re-wore an on-trend sky blue wrap dress, first fashioned in Tonga last year.

Dressed-down duchess

Meghan matched the Madewell jacket - which retails at David Jones for $229AUD - with black jeans, camel-coloured woven flats and crisp white shirt.

Keeping her signature Californian style surprisingly in budget, the royal - who’s splashed more than $1million on threads since marrying her prince - with the look all available at mid-range retailers.

The loafers were picked up from Brother Vellies for $286 while her casual canvas bag is also by Madewell and sells for $113.

Meghan first wore the denim in April 2017, well after after it was first released by the US-based brand.

Similarly, Prince Harry kept it simple, sported a bottle green shirt, chinos and Adidas runners and some light brown chinos.

The duke and duchess spent the morning at Monwabisi Beach to visit Waves For Change, which helps vulnerable children through surfing.

As part of the visit, the royals also visited the Lunchbox Fund and the Commonwealth Litter Project.

Meghan also kept her hair and makeup natural, reverting back to her trademark messy bun, which she wore throughout her first few months as a royal.

Later, Harry will make a solo visit to the South African Police Service and Royal Marines.

The royal couple will also both visit Auwal Mosque and a reception for young future leader on Tuesday evening, South African time.
