The Duke and Duchess had another day packed with scheduled events yesterday, which saw Harry and Meghan take a boat ride out to Cockatoo Island for the Landrover Challenge, before Harry squeezed in a last minute speech rehearsal at the Opera House. The sudden downpour and thunder storm didn’t stop the Royals and they attended the Opening Ceremony of the Invictus Games. The Duchess had one of her busiest fashion days of the tour so far going from semi-casual to glam.

Meghan wore an Altuzarra ‘Acacia Stretch Wool Jacket’, retailing for £488. With an oversized peak lapel collar and strong shoulders, the jacket has a welt breast pocket and two long extended welt pockets that sit over the hip. There is also a single button closure and a rear pleated vent detail for a flared kick out, almost top and tails feel. The blazer is a mix of wool/polyamide/elastane and made in Italy. The Duchess’ jacket was in a white colour-way and we suspect that is is either a bespoke piece or part of a collection that is yet to be released. The blazer was available in a wide range of colours including black, red, beige, brown, check and grey melange which we show in the image below. You can view the jacket here.

In-keeping with the events she was attending, Meghan wore an Invictus Games black button shirt. Both Harry and Meghan were dressed in this top, though it appears to be unavailable and may have been created especially for them. You can purchase other items of Invictus clothing here.

Meghan debuted a new ring stack, which are currently unidentified though we believe they may either be Monica Vinader or Pippa Small. There are three rings, with a green, clear and blue stone, it appears. Of course we will update you when we know more.

Meghan also accessorised with her initial necklace. This is small gold chain with the letters ‘H’ and ‘M’ along the chain, of course, for Harry and Meghan! A super sentimental piece, it was reported that the Prince bought it as a gift for his then-girlfriend.

The Duchess kept the same heels on from the morning. The Tabitha Simmons ‘Millie Slingback Pump’, retailing for £515. A pair of black suede pointed toe sling back stiletto pumps with delicate feminine suede bow attached to the strap, You can purchase these pumps here. I personally would have preferred to see a full heel rather than a slingback with this look, but the heel adds a touch of class to this outfit, which could be more casual than smart.

We saw more rings, which we believe to be from Ecksand. One is a sapphire piece, retailing for £544, another is an emerald ring, for £544, and the diamond costs £570. These rings feature bezel cut stones on 18ct gold bands.
A short delay in getting to the Invictus ceremony didn’t stop The Duchess from looking any less glamourous.
