When it comes to fashion, Meghan Markle proved that she is just like the rest of us. During an appearance with Prince Harry at the WellChild awards, she re-wore an old dress.

It is reported, she first wore the forest green dress by P.A.R.O.S.H in 2017, when the royal couple sat down for their first interview after announcing their engagement.

The design by P.A.R.O.S.H is a green, knee length and form fitting dress with a matching bow on the side. After just five months since she gave birth, the style choice perfectly extenuates her slim figure. The designer's give their approval, saying:
