Meghan Steps Out for Lunch in London Ahead of Nottingham Visit

Meghan was out in London today for lunch with her hairstylist, George Northwood. The pair met at The Park restaurant in Queensway, near Kensington Palace—a familiar neighborhood from her time living at Nottingham Cottage with Harry. According to HELLO!, they spent around two hours at the restaurant.

Many of you will remember George as the stylist behind Meghan’s relaxed bun for her evening wedding reception in May 2018, paired with her white Stella McCartney halter-neck gown. He also worked with her during her time as a working royal, accompanying her on overseas tours. It’s lovely to see the two catching up in London again.

For today’s lunch, Meghan wore a black blazer with cropped blue jeans and nude heels, with her hair down in loose waves. A blazer, jeans and a great pair of shoes—a combination that always works!

The outing comes ahead of Meghan and Harry’s visit to Nottingham tomorrow, Thursday,. Their schedule includes stops at the Community Recording Studio, Himmah Hub and Epic Partners, with a focus on supporting young people, families and the local community. The Himmah visit will also celebrate the legacy of Together: Our Community Cookbook.

Nottingham holds a special place in their story: it was where they carried out their first joint royal engagement following their engagement announcement in 2017. Nearly nine years later, they’ll return for another day centered on the causes they care about. I’ll be sharing more from tomorrow’s visit, along with a closer look at Meghan’s outfit.

Now a closer look at what Meghan wore for today’s lunch outing.

Meghan’s black blazer is from Marks and Spencer — M&S Peak Lapel Tuxedo Jacket, $169. The jacket was marked down to $110 and sold out quickly. You can sign up to be notified of restocks.

She paired the jacket with a black top that we were unable to identify.

Meghan had on her Anine Bing ‘Kate Jean 29’ jeans in Clean Indigo, $250.

The Duchess had on a new pair of shoes today from Jennifer Chamandi—the Lorenzo 105 in Sand Suede, $895.

She also wore her Logan Hollowell—Lovers Duet Diamond and Emerald Chain Necklace, $21,150.

We got a good look at her vintage Chanel bag today.

I’m expecting to see Meghan in more British brands for Thursday’s engagement.

I have a few ID updates today as well.

The ivory trousers that Meghan wore last week when she had lunch with Malala in London are from Boden—Regent Wide Leg Pants in ivory, $250 now $104.

For Meghan’s lunch in the Cotswolds with Harry she may have worn another sweater from Co—the Long Sleeve Crew in Fine Cashmere, $575.

Finally back in March, Meghan wore an ivory v-neck sweater in a behind-the-scenes look at the As Ever collab with High Camp Supply. The sweater is the Co V-Neck Sweater in Fine Cashmere, $695.
