Meghan Markle was recently spotted shopping for her children on April 1 in Montecito—and her outfit quickly sparked buzz online.
The Suits actress was seen browsing a local, family-owned toy store wearing a tan trench coat from Zara, paired with ankle-length jeans and beige flats from Loro Piana. She completed the look with a white baseball cap and a coordinating Hermès scarf—reportedly a gift from Prince Harry. Keeping things low-key, she opted for minimal makeup and carried two brown bags filled with toys. See the outfit here!
Meghan wore a very similar outfit in 2025 when Tan France made an appearance on her show, With Love, Meghan, during the second episode of season 3.

Meghan Markle Wears A Low-Key Outfit While Shopping For Kids
According to reports, the mom of two picked up items like Magic Rabbit playing cards and Magic Castle Sea Monkeys during the outing. “She was picking up Easter gifts for her kids and her godchildren,” a source told PEOPLE.
“She was there for a while, talking to the staff and making selections.”
Meghan's everyday style typically leans minimal, blending high and low fashion pieces. While many fans admire her choices, others often find her looks puzzling—and this outing was no exception.
Fans quickly took to Instagram to share their reactions to her outfit.
“Why does she dress like a bag lady?” one user commented. Another wrote, “What’s with the scarf?” while a third added, “Her outfit is atrocious.”
Markle celebrated Easter privately at home in California alongside Prince Harry and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
She shared a few glimpses of the family festivities, which included a nature-themed egg hunt, Archie decorating eggs, and Lilibet wearing bunny ears. The family also enjoyed time together feeding their chickens.
Meghan Markle 'Extremely' Embarrassed Over Prince Harry's Flirty Text Messages
While the 44-year-old and Prince Harry, 41, frequently make headlines for everything from Netflix deals and royal family updates to tours and family life, one recent story that drew particular attention involved the resurfacing of Prince Harry’s past messages.
Flirtatious exchanges from 2011 to 2012 between Prince Harry and journalist Charlotte Griffiths were revealed in London’s High Court during his privacy case against Associated Newspapers. The messages reportedly included playful banter such as “Mr. Mischief,” references to “movie snuggles,” and affectionate nicknames like “sugar,” as well as casual sign-offs like “mwah.”
According to reports, the exchanges used lighthearted and familiar language, which has since sparked renewed discussion due to their public disclosure in court.
An insider told Star, “This is an extremely embarrassing situation for Harry as well as Meghan. The fact that this exchange between Harry and another woman has all been revealed in open court is a total nightmare—not just because it may weaken his case by showing he was fraternizing with the press at a time he claims they were persecuting him, but it also paints him as a flirty, hard-partying character who clearly has skeletons in his closet that Meghan doesn’t or didn’t know about.”
The source also claimed that Meghan was “shocked to hear about this other woman” and “understandably wants to know the full story and the precise nature of their relationship.”
