The Duchess of Sussex looked so stylish as she enjoyed a relaxed dinner in Texas with husband Prince Harry.
Meghan Markle, 42, was spotted at La Barbecue restaurant in Austin, where she rocked a pair of mid-wash mom jeans with a coordinating denim shirt with an open-neck collar.
Over the top, the Duchess popped on the 'Zelda Silk & Hemp Blazer' by Heidi Merrick, an ivory single-breasted number that dressed up her denim ensemble.
Another more formal touch was her 'Goatskin and Grosgrain Slingbacks' from Chanel which were beige in the main with black-capped toes. To accessorise Meghan's smart-casual look, she added an array of expensive jewels.

Meghan also wore the 'Baby Reverse Water Drop Natural or Lab Created Diamond Tennis Necklace' that is worth over $15,000 and she hung the ‘Santa Barbara’ Heidi Merrick sunglasses from her denim shirt for a relaxed look.
As always, the former Suits star's hair looked effortless in loose waves and her makeup was kept natural with fluttery eyelashes. Prince Harry matched her relaxed aesthetic in a navy long-sleeved top with the sleeves rolled up and navy belted trousers.

Her hair was once again worn in loose waves and she wore a soft brown eyeshadow look with a complementary pink-hued nude lip.

Meghan shared: "The bulk of the bullying and abuse I was experiencing on social media and online was when I was pregnant or with a newborn," she said. "And you just think about that and you really have to wrap your head around why people would be so hateful."
© GettyReflecting on what has got her through, Meghan paid tribute to her doting husband. "My husband is such a hands-on dad and such a supporter of me and our family and that I don't take for granted," she said. "That is a real blessing. But a lot of people don't have that same level of support."

"So I think for us it's just trying to put the same level of safeguards in so that women and moms especially can not feel like they're even more vulnerable when they go online. That they can somehow feel that they are going to a safer place," Meghan concluded, sending a cheeky wink into the audience.
