During the short segment, the Duchess wore her lengthy dark hair in soft waves framing her face.

She opted for a low-key affordable outfit, pairing a green J-Crew $200 (£143) jacket with a $150 (£110) pair of Hunter wellington boots and a white artizia shirt costing just $88 (£64).

However the royal made sure to add some glamour to her outfit by donning a pair of Jessica McCormack earrings costing thousands of pounds. 

Jessica’s collection of delicate hoops, suspending diamonds, sapphires and rubies,  has become a clear best seller for the brand.

While visiting the Robert Clack School in Essex in March 2020, she wore the brand’s £9,500 ‘Chi Chi’ Rose Gold and Diamond Bracelet and at Wimbledon in 2019 she was seen wearing the £3,000 Signature Sapphire Heart Button Back Ring.

Meanwhile the Duchess also wore a pair of ruby heart shaped earrings for the Festival of Remembrance in November 2019 which cost a staggering £4,000.   

During the interview Meghan told Oprah the couple are embracing a more ‘authentic’ life since they quit the Royal Family as senior working royals last year.

‘I think just being able to live authentically [has been the most important thing],’ said Meghan.

‘This kind of stuff is so basic, but it’s really fulfilling and about getting back to basics.’

This ‘back to basics’ lifestyle comes after they set up home in their sprawling nine-bedroom and 16-bathroom $14.65 million mansion in upscale Montecito back in July, where their neighbors include Winfrey, Ellen DeGeneres and Ariana Grande.

Meghan and Harry took the talk show host around the grounds of their lavish home and introduced her to their rescued birds which live in Archie’s chicken coop.

A plaque on the side of the hut reads ‘Archie’s Chick Inn. Established 2021’.
