The Duchess of Sussex, 42, opted for a monochrome ensemble in the two tones of off-white when attending a sitting volleyball match in Dusseldorf, Germany, with the Duke, who turns 39 today.

Bringing a touch of glitz to the Merkur Spiel-Arena, the royal styled her hair in loose waves and sported a glamorous make-up look while opting for fashionable £595 Saint Laurent black leather sandals.


Adding even more glamour to the look, she opted for her $62,000 Lorraine Schwartz pinky ring made with ‘diamonds gifted from the Middle East’ and her $2,800 1972 tennis pinky band from Shiffon and Co.

Meghan has opted for an array on monochrome outfits this week. Firstly, she boarded a plane from Los Angeles to Europe in an all black ensemble.

She then heading to the games in a black shirt dress from Banana Republic, which she paired with black shoes and a black belt.

The mother-of-two then appeared on Wednesday in a black and white number – with white shorts, a black tank top and a white cardigan from J Crew.

Then the royal opted for go all black again, in black jeans, heels and a tank top – which she paired with a white blazer.


Despite often wearing colour while a working royal, Meghan claimed she ‘toned down’ her wardrobe while she living in the UK to avoid clashing with more senior members of the Royal Family .

The Duchess of Sussex made the claims in the third episode of her Netflix series.

She explained: ‘Most of the time I was in the UK, I rarely wore colour. To my understanding, you can’t ever wear the same colour as Her Majesty if there’s a group event but then you also shouldn’t be wearing the same colour as one of the other more senior members of the family.’

To respect this rumoured royal protocol, Meghan says she started dressing almost exclusively in shades of camel, beige and white.

She continued: ‘I wore a lot of muted tones but it was also so I could just blend in. I’m not trying to stand out here.

 ‘There was no version of me [that was] joining this family and trying not to do everything I could to fit in. I don’t want to embarrass the family.’

So it appears that Meghan is shunning the spotlight in muted tones again.

On her way to the games, she opted for a decidedly casual look in a 773 Ulla Johnson sailor-style Polina wide-legged trousers with a matching navy V-neck jumper.


Flats were the order of the day, and the mother-of-two, who travelled with aides to the California airport donned a favoured pair of $770 Valentino ‘Roman Stud’ mules in ivory calfskin.

It was the accessories that stole the sartorial show in this particular ensemble however, with Meghan, 42, carrying a $2,650 Goyard ‘St. Louis PM’ tote bag, in which a designer scarf, believed to be a $1,200 Rayures d’Ete Shawl from Hermes, was draped.

For her first appearance, Meghan then looked radiant in a black shirt dress from Banana Republic, costing £112.

She paired her dress with black pumps and wore her thick brunette locks down and brushed behind one shoulder to reveal her £595 Kimaï hoop earrings.


She continued she can mix high street and high end in $98 J Crew linen shorts and a black tank top which she paired with a £177 J Crew blazer, Givenchy belt and £910 Chanel shoes.

And she added some bling to the outfit with a pair of £2,000 Luna Skye earrings, shaped like leaves, and boasting baguette diamonds.

Throughout the games, Meghan has also been seen sporting her ring by celebrity jeweller Lorraine Schwartz.There have long been questions about the origin of the pinky ring, which the Duchess has worn on a number of occasions.

In 2021, Prince Harry and Meghan denied claims that the band was fashioned with diamonds gifted to the couple by a mystery donor in the Middle East – before clarifying that they were referring to a different ring.


Prince Harry turns 39 today and partied with Meghan in a traditional German bar last night where he washed down bratwurst sausage and wiener schnitzel with six beers, MailOnline can reveal.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex enjoyed a night out in Dusseldorf with friends as the Invictus Games draws to a close.

Bar staff said the royals were ‘lovely’ and left a ‘big tip’ as they enjoyed plates piled high with red cabbage and mashed potato. While Harry celebrated with six half-pints, his wife stuck to just one small drink.

Both Ms Ungermann and the head waiter speak fluent English so were able to take Harry and Meghan’s orders without needing to translate them into German.

Harry and his party had driven from their hotel in the Media Harbour of the city and were dropped off by a pedestrian area.

They walked the 50 yards to the restaurant past other bars before occupying two tables in a raised section of the restaurant which is next door to a McDonalds.

The party drank the locally brewed beer called Alt Schumacher which is also served at the Merkur Spiel-Arena where the Invictus Games are held.


Ms Ungermann said: ‘The couple were very relaxed, they drank our beer, Schumacher Alt – it’s the same beer they are serving at the Invictus Games.

‘Harry and Meghan sat next to each other during the meal. I had goosebumps when they walked into the restaurant, I had watched his speech on the stage at the Invictus Games and couldn’t believe he was in my restaurant. Prince Harry was so lovely and gave me a hug.’
