Meghan Markle appeared very business chic at the TIME100 Summit as she arrived with Prince Harry, donning a £3,600 Ralph Lauren suit and accessorizing with items worth tens of thousands of pounds.

The Duchess of Sussex, 43, was beaming as photographers caught her entering the glamorous New York City event with her husband on Wednesday.

She donned light brown, wide-leg silk trousers and a matching silk and linen blazer from the brand Ralph Lauren. The set costs £3,685.

Beneath the trendy jacket, she wore a white button down top tucked into the loose-fitting trousers.

The mother-of-two paired the set with a £135 Veronica Beard brown belt and £370 Stuart Weitzman suede heels.

She accessorised with Princess Diana’s £21,000 Cartier gold watch and a pair of gold gold £4,150 earrings from Taybayer.

She then added her £7,000 Cartier bracelet and  Bentley & Skinner diamond tennis bracelet – a gift from the King worth at least £4,900.

The outfit, initially worn the night before her wedding to Prince Harry, was originally made by the royal warrant holders Bentley & Skinner and boasts ninety-two round brilliant-cut diamonds.

Meghan kept her long brown hair styled in loose waves framing her face; some observed a reddish tint in her hair, though it’s uncertain whether she dyed it or if it was just the lighting playing tricks.

The As Ever creator was joined by Prince Harry, who looked sharp in a navy blue suit.

Meghan then spoke alongside Ryan Reynolds, Demi Moore, and other stars. 

The event was designed to ‘spotlight solutions and encourage action toward a better world.’

The Duchess has come under fire in recent months, facing backlash over both her new Netflix show and her lifestyle brand, As Ever.

Her series With Love, Meghan – which saw her and a rolodex of her famous friends in the kitchen as they prepared elaborate recipes and created home décor items – premiered last month on the streaming service but was instantly met with negative reviews from critics and viewers alike. 

The launch of her company As Ever was mired in controversy as some customers were left disappointed after their orders were cancelled due to overselling.

Meghan has tried to land an A-lister like Beyonce and Taylor Swift for her new female empowerment podcast, which is reportedly already in crisis after three episodes. 

‘No one’s picking up the phone’, one source close to the production claimed, adding: ‘The show is not landing.’

‘There’s no Taylor Swift. No Beyoncé. Not even a Hailey Bieber. And when you’re pitching female empowerment, that’s a problem.’

‘It speaks volumes for her pulling power. She’s not happy about her lack of appeal.’ 

Meghan interviewed Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd on the debut episode of the Duchess of Sussex’s new Lemonada podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder. 

Her second instalment was with Reshma Saujani, founder of Girls Who Code, and today’s episode was with her friend, hair colourist Kadi Lee, whose company the former Suits star has also invested in. 

A source close to the making of the show said she and her team ‘dialed all the big names’ to join her for ‘honest conversations with women who’ve built from the ground up, faced challenges and kept going.’ 

But these calls have been quietly ignored, RadarOnline said. 

So instead of household names or cultural icons, Meghan is now expected to speak to more friends, influencers and startup entrepreneurs, as she tries to get her own As Ever brand off the ground. 

Meghan and Harry’s trip to New York came after they whisked their two children Archie, five, and Lilibet, three, away on a celebratory Spring holiday. 

According to People, the family enjoyed a ‘sunsoaked getaway’ recently, though the exact destination was not confirmed.
