Yesterday, while Kate Middleton returned from maternity leave in her favourite Zara jeans, Meghan Markle proved she was as much a fan of the high-street, for a trip to the University of Chichester's Engineering and Digital Technology Park with Prince Harry.

The Duchess chose a £69 moss green shirt for the occasion, from one of our favourites, & Other Stories.

To be fair, she did pair it with designer items, notably a Hugo Boss skirt, an Armani coat and a Gabriela Hearst bag, but we'll take it as an excellent lesson on how to do hi-lo fashion. Side note: the coat is sold out, but see our edit of the best camel coats here.

See also the way she softened the tough leather pencil skirt with the feminine silk shirt, and kept it all tonal, in a shade that's very in for autumn/winter.

It's also a shade Meghan is a fan of, having previously worn olive green at her nephew Prince Louis' christening.

Don't know about you, but this is making us embrace autumnal dressing.
