Meghan Markle has adopted a styling trick used by Kate Middleton on royal tours by wearing the national colours of the British flag during her final official appearances.
The Duchess of Sussex, 38, paid homage to the country as she stepped out in red, white and blue outfits over the past few days.
She donned a turquoise Victoria Beckham dress for her first appearance back in UK since announcing her plan to step back from royal duty, opted for chic white and cream pieces while visiting patronages, and selected a bold red gown for the Mountbatten Festival of Music.
The styling tactic comes days after Kate Middleton, 38, showed off a similar trick during her royal tour of Ireland.

During her last few public outings, the Duchess has tipped her hat to the UK’s national colours.
On Thursday, Meghan made time to stop off at the National Theatre, which was one of the last places she visited before relocating to Canada in January.
For her return to the venue, Meghan showed her support for the British high street by wearing a £29 white Topshop blouse with chiffon sleeves.
The royal wore the blouse tucked into a cream pencil skirt by Roland Mouret and carried a Loewe handbag.

And that evening she stepped out in a stunning £950 azure blue dress by Victoria Beckham and a navy Lucia Plexi Clutch by Stella McCartney for the Endeavour Awards.
Meanwhile last night she wowed in a red full-length £1,295 Safiyaa dress, jewelled Simone Rocha earrings, and gorgeous red Aquazurra heels for the Mountbatten Festival of Music.
During her royal tour of Ireland last week, Kate showed off a similar trick and indicated she was in the Irish spirit by opting for a series of green outfits with Shamrock charm jewellery.
And she adopted a similar tactic by wearing Pakistan’s national colours while visiting the Aga Khan Centre in London ahead of her visit to the country.

The tactic to pay homage to the country one is visiting has served Kate well over all manner of royal tours.
Honouring the country she’s visited with her sartorial choices is a trick Kate learned from the Queen, who has always given a nod to the national culture with her clothes, be it a brooch or the colour of her hat.
Meanwhile Meghan has become famed for her love of chic and elegant monochrome clothing and simple styling.

The appearances over the last week have marked the Duke and Duchess of Sussexes’ first official trip to the UK since announcing they would be stepping back as senior royals.
The couple have had a number of appearances scheduled which will culminate tomorrow when they will join senior royals including the Queen and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at the Commonwealth Day service in London.
It is thought these will be Harry and Meghan’s last official duties before their royal roles officially come to an end on March 31.
