Meghan Markle Transforms Her Wardrobe from California to Cotswolds—Including an "Iconic" Style Beloved by Princess Kate
The Duchess of Sussex traded bare feet and beaches for rain boots and roaring fires.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle moved back to Britain at the end of August, but the Duchess of Sussex has remained quiet about their major news until now. On Sunday, September 13, the Duchess of Sussex shared an Instagram Reel showing off some highlights from their new life in the English countryside, and she looked the part in two pairs of designer rain boots.
Meghan wore a quilted brown Cuyana coat and chocolate Le Chameau Jameson wellies as she held hands with Prince Harry in the video, which showed various glimpses of the Sussexes and their children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5.
The duchess, who often goes barefoot in her Instagram posts, traded her sunny California lifestyle for some rainy English weather, sharing a clip of herself splashing in a puddle wearing a pair of jeans tucked into olive Le Chameau Vierzon boots in the Reel.

The brand's "Iconic Green" boots are also favored by Princess Kate, who has worn a slightly different Vierzonord style over the years.
The rest of Meghan's Reel shows Lilibet and Archie enjoying the British outdoors, with the duo fishing in a rowboat with dad Prince Harry and riding bikes as a herd of deer runs past.

While the Duke of Sussex has announced some upcoming charity events in the U.K., Meghan appears to be hanging close to home at the moment.
“There is a lot to do," a source recently told People. "They have just moved halfway across the world, and it’s been really busy getting the kids settled. Their focus has been on that, and will remain on that, for the time being. They are happy to be back.”
