The Duchess of Sussex, who stepped back from royal duties in January 2020, opted for a sophisticated look that paid homage to royal fashion. Her ensemble featured a £1,050 white tweed blazer from Veronica Beard, a brand favored by royals like Zara Tindall and the Princess of Wales. Paired with matching £448 wide-leg trousers, Meghan's attire drew comparisons to outfits worn by Princess Diana and Kate Middleton.

Meghan's Royal-Inspired Fashion Choice
Meghan's choice of a white ensemble has become a staple among royals, often seen as a symbol of power and success. Celebrity stylist Rochelle White remarked, "A white suit is a timeless piece and I feel that these looks have been picked for that reason." This fashion choice resonates with the legacy of Princess Diana, who wore a similar outfit to meet Mother Teresa in 1997, and Kate Middleton, who embraced the trend during her Caribbean tour in March 2022. Meghan's previous appearance in a £3,200 Valentino white suit at the Invictus Games further cements her affinity for this classic style.
Engagements with WHO and UN Agencies
The Sussexes' visit to Jordan, organized by the World Health Organisation, included a roundtable discussion with UN agencies, diplomatic representatives, and donors. Their itinerary involves meetings with Jordanian leaders and senior health officials, as well as visits to frontline health and mental health programs. During the discussions, Philip Hall, British Ambassador to Jordan, expressed gratitude for their visit, stating, "Your visit, your support, your appreciation of the efforts that the United Nations, including of course, the World Health Organisation, the government of Jordan and others, are making here is enormously appreciated."
Visit Highlights Global Health Efforts
The couple's presence in Jordan comes shortly after Prince William's diplomatic trip to Saudi Arabia. Both visits underscore the royal family's connection to the region, with William and Kate having close ties to Jordan. The Sussexes' engagements aim to support WHO teams and World Central Kitchen staff coordinating food relief for Gaza. Additionally, they plan to visit QuestScope's youth center to engage with young people involved in creative and wellbeing programs. This visit highlights the couple's dedication to global health and humanitarian efforts.
