MEGHAN Markle has made her love of beige no secret over the years, often opting for the shade for high profile events such as her first Christmas at Sandringham or most recently for their first official appearance together since May.
Joined by the Duke of Sussex, the Duchess opted for a camel coloured co-ord in the form of a £145 sleeveless turtleneck top and £165 tube skirt by Malibu-based label Bleusal in the video to support the Responsible Technology Youth Power Fund.

The neutral tones, which have recently been branded ‘sad beige’ on social media, have become something of a go-to for the mum-of-two, something she claims was an attempt to ‘blend in’ with the royal family.
In the Sussex’s 2022 Netflix documentary, she said: “When I was in the UK I rarely wore colour.
Meghan said: “I wore a lot of muted tones… I also wore it so I could just blend in.”
And she added: “I’m not trying to stand out here. I don’t want to embarrass the family.”
However, according to Bethan Holt, Fashion Director of The Telegraph, there is another reason Meghan might be reaching for ‘sad beige.’
Holt remarks that, having moved to California, Meghan would surely be free to wear whatever colour of her choosing and yet beige remains the order of the day as a marker of her celebrity status.
Writing for The Telegraph, she explains, “Where beige was once a tool for Meghan to blend in, it’s now a hallmark of her alignment with the 0.01 per cent.
“Beige speaks of private jets, dry cleaners and generally never having to do anything that could risk a smudge or a stain.”
During their video appearance they donned beaming smiles while they spoke lovingly about their children, Archie, four, and Lilibet, two.
Harry said: “Thank you for doing everything that you do. Our kids especially are incredibly grateful.”
“They don’t know it yet, but they will!”, Meghan added.
The Archewell Foundation is on the Responsible Technology Youth Power Fund Advisory Committee.
They aim to “support youth and intergenerationally lead organisations to shape the responsible technology movement”.
