When Meghan Markle made her first official visit to Scotland as a future royal, she didn’t just show up—she made a statement. On February 13, the Duchess-in-waiting dazzled in a muted blue and green tartan Burberry coat as she greeted enthusiastic well-wishers outside Edinburgh Castle. This wasn’t just any coat; it was a double-breasted piece from the British brand’s latest collection, which made its debut on the London Fashion Week runway back in September. And if you're wondering where you can snag one for yourself, it's currently available on Net-a-Porter for approximately $2,770.
Meghan's Fashion Choices: More Than Meets the Eye
Choosing a tartan for her latest royal "walkabout" wasn't just about looking good—it was about saying something. By rocking this style, Meghan wasn't only celebrating Scotland's iconic fabric but also tapping into one of the biggest trends of the moment. Checks were everywhere on the Spring/Summer 2018 runways in September. From Burberry's fresh take on their classic beige-and-black fabric to the vibrant colors at Peter Pilotto and the regally inspired wool coats at Erdem, checks were having a major moment. Meghan's choice was both timely and thoughtful, showing she's got a handle on the balance between tradition and trend.

The Complete Look: Meghan's Stylish Choices
Beneath that striking Burberry coat, Meghan paired simplicity with sophistication. She wore a sleek roll-neck sweater in black, rumored to be a bodysuit by Wolford, a brand famous for its luxury hosiery. To complete the look, she opted for wide-leg trousers by Veronica Beard and carried the East/West crossbody bag in green by the Scottish accessories brand Strathberry. If you're a fan, you'll be glad to know this style is available in several other colors on the brand’s website, starting at $660. Meghan previously showcased Strathberry's midi tote during her first royal outing with Harry in Nottingham, and the bag sold out almost instantly. If you missed out, keep an eye out because it's set to restock later this year.
Meghan and Harry's Day in Scotland
After being welcomed to the city by the Royal Marines Scotland band and touring Edinburgh Castle, Meghan and Harry ventured to Social Bite. This social enterprise focuses on distributing food and hot drinks to homeless individuals across Scotland, showcasing the couple’s commitment to charitable causes. It was a meaningful day filled with tradition, style, and service.
