Meghan Markle showcased her impeccable fashion sense in a stunning £13,475 ensemble during a CBS Sunday Morning interview with Prince Harry. The appearance marked her 43rd birthday and their first joint television interview in three years, coinciding with the launch of their new initiative, The Parents Network, aimed at protecting children from online harm.

The Duchess of Sussex captivated viewers in a luxurious Cartier necklace worth £12,800, a piece she has previously worn to high-profile events like the Invictus Games Opening Ceremony. The yellow gold 'juste un clou' choker, adorned with 57 diamonds, added a touch of elegance to her sophisticated look.

Meghan paired the necklace with a chic Ralph Lauren coord set. The £570 Adrien relaxed fit broadcloth shirt in a soft mauve tone complemented the £915 Evanne trousers in the same hue. The ensemble exuded a relaxed yet refined summer vibe, perfectly suited for the occasion.

Opting for her signature natural look, Meghan styled her hair in loose waves and enhanced her features with subtle makeup. She used a dark pencil to define her eyebrows, added highlighter and bronzer to her cheeks, and finished with a deep pink creamy lip color. Black eyeliner and mascara accentuated her eyes, creating a polished and sophisticated appearance.

 

During the interview with Jane Pauley, Meghan and Harry discussed their new initiative focused on tackling cyber abuse and ensuring child safety online. Meghan's fashion choices, characterized by neutral tones and classic pieces, mirrored the serious yet hopeful tone of their conversation.

"Our kids are young, they're three and five, they're amazing, but all you want to do as parents is protect them," Meghan shared. The couple, who are parents to Archie and Lilibet, emphasized the importance of safeguarding children in the digital age. Prince Harry highlighted the need for parents to become first responders in recognizing signs of distress related to social media use.

The Duchess also opened up about her personal experiences with online bullying and mental health struggles. "There is a through line, when you've been through any level of pain or trauma," she said. "Part of your healing journey, certainly part of mine, is to be open about it. I haven't really scraped the surface on my experience. I would never want someone else to feel that way. I would never want someone else to be making these plans. I would never want someone else not to be believed."

Meghan's candidness about her struggles added depth to the interview, highlighting the critical need for initiatives like The Parents Network. "If me voicing what I have overcome will save someone or encourage someone in their life to really genuinely check in on them, not assume the appearance is good, not assume everything is okay, then I'll take that," she stated.

The interview also provided a glimpse into the couple's upcoming plans. They announced a forthcoming visit to Colombia, where they will engage with local leaders, youth, and women to address issues related to cyberbullying, online exploitation, and the mental health impacts of these threats. This visit aligns with the first Global Ministerial Conference on Ending Violence Against Children, set to take place in Colombia in November.

Meghan's fashion choices during the interview received widespread praise on social media. Fans admired her elegant yet understated look, with one user commenting, "Her makeup looks so good in these photos. She seems to gravitate towards these neutral colors. I actually like this color." Another added, "She definitely loves her neutrals, and they look good on her. She's also loving that necklace lately."
