Meghan Markle cut a stylish figure on Saturday as she was pictured in Paris for Fashion Week, marking her first visit to Europe in more than two years.

The Duchess of Sussex, 44, was all smiles as she was seen leaving her hotel on her way to the Balenciaga show in the French capital.

It was her first trip to Europe since the 2023 Invictus Games, which took place in Düsseldorf, Germany.

She was snapped wearing a stylish white oversized cape over a white button-down shirt with matching trousers.

Meghan paired it with black pointed-toe heels and simple accessories, giving off a vibe of effortless elegance, topped off with a sleek, slicked-back bun.

Crowds had gathered outside Meghan’s hotel in a bid to catch a glimpse of the royal

Crowds had gathered outside Meghan’s hotel in a bid to catch a glimpse of the royal.

But Prince Harry was nowhere to be seen as his wife was flanked by security who escorted her to a waiting car.

A source close to the Sussexes told the Daily Mail: ‘The couple always like to make sure that either mum or dad is at home to put the kids to bed’.

It comes amid revelations that the estranged prince lambasted ‘men in grey suits’ at Buckingham Palace, accusing aides of trying to sabotage his reconciliation with the King.

The Duke’s furious broadside is an extraordinary echo of his mother Princess Diana’s criticism of shadowy royal courtiers – who she also derided as ‘the men in grey suits’ and accused of undermining her.

Harry is understood to be infuriated at what he sees as a concerted campaign by unnamed Palace officials to torpedo his efforts to strike a rapprochement with his father by giving hostile briefings to newspapers.

‘The relationship between the Duke and His Majesty The King is a matter for the two of them and the two of them only,’ a source close to the Duke told The Mail on Sunday.

‘The men in grey suits should stay out of it.’

Earlier, he said he ‘would love’ to spend more time in the UK going forward and has told his delighted father it could even be every few months in 2026

But the Duke of Sussex insists that he will never move back to Britain because ‘he’s genuinely very happy in California’.

In response, King Charles is said to have been ‘absolutely clear’ that his youngest son cannot be a ‘half-in, half-out’ working royal – and Harry is said to swear blind that there is ‘no move’ being made ‘to be back in the institution’.

The monarch desperately wants a relationship with his youngest son – and especially his grandchildren Lilibet and Archie – with insiders claiming Charles may even be willing to offer the Sussexes their own pied-à-terre in Britain.

Earlier this week, Meghan’s estranged father declared he is ‘fine’ after fears a huge earthquake had trapped him on the 19th floor of his Philippines apartment block.

Thomas Markle, 81, said ‘please don’t worry about me, everything is okay’ after it was revealed he was unable to leave this home. He then thanked ‘everyone’ for their ‘concern’.

The worry was sparked by Duchess of Sussex’s half-sister, Samantha Markle, who posted on social media that her father was unable to leave his flat after the 6.9 magnitude earthquake hit 10pm local time (3pm BST, 10am ET) on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Meghan recently gave fans a rare glimpse inside the $14million mansion she shares with Prince Harry and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, in California.

She took to her Instagram account last Friday to show off what appeared to be her cosy living room in her Montecito home.

Sharing a clip on her Stories with her 4.2million followers, the mother-of-two showcased an elegant floral arrangement and her beagle, Mia, sleeping on a stunning cream armchair and matching cushioned footstool.

It was recently revealed that Meghan and Prince Harry are heading to New York City this month, where they will accept an award for their mental health advocacy.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been given the Project Healthy Minds’ Humanitarians of the Year Award in recognition of their campaigns to make the online world a safer place for families and young people, according to PEOPLE magazine.

They will reportedly accept the special honour at the nonprofit organisation’s World Mental Health Day Gala on October 9 in New York City, before stepping out for another engagement together the next day.

On October 10, the Montecito-based couple will attend Project Healthy Minds’ fourth annual World Mental Health Day Festival, where their Archewell Foundation is co-producing conversations with those making a difference in the mental health sector.
