In an episode of the series, Markle styled the Takao sweater in light dune melange by Loro Piana. The sweater, which retails for around $1,325, featured a delicate design with short sleeves and a rounded neckline. The Duchess of Sussex paired the sweater with linen blend pleated pants courtesy of Zara, continuing the muted tonal motif.
To top off her wardrobe, Markle wore the cashmere boyfriend sweater in oatmeal stripe by Jenni Kayne. The Duchess of Sussex accessorized her look with a pair of gold earrings and styled her hair in a tight chignon, featuring a few wisps of hair to frame her face.
During the episode, Markle hosted actress, writer and producer Mindy Kaling, who sported a denim-on-denim look courtesy of Valentino. While the two women chatted about high-low dressing and eating fast food growing up, Kaling made the comment, “People wouldn’t believe that Meghan Markle ate at Jack in the Box.”
“It’s so funny, too, that you keep saying Meghan Markle,” the Duchess of Sussex said. “You know I’m Sussex now.” Queen Elizabeth II bestowed the titles of Duke and Duchess of Sussex to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle upon their marriage in May 2018.
“You have kids and you go, ‘No, I share my name with my children,’” Meghan explained. “I didn’t know how meaningful that would be to me, but it just means so much to go, this is our family name, our little family name.”
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, were initially dubbed “Master Archie Mountbatten-Windsor” and “Miss Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor.” Following King Charles III’s ascension to the throne, their titles and names were updated to “Prince Archie of Sussex” and “Princess Lilibet of Sussex.”
