The Duchess of Sussex admitted that not everyone approves of her taste during a visit to a clothing charity on Thursday.

Pregnant Meghan, 37, today visit to the headquarters of women’s charity Smart Works in  shortly after being announced as its patron. 

The organisation provides high-quality interview clothes and training to unemployed women in need relying on donations from the public, including some from the Duchess herself.

However, Meghan admitted that her choice in bags hadn’t gone down well with one woman who rejected the purse she had donated.

While picking out an outfit for a visitor today Meghan said:  ‘The last time I was here I suggested a purse to someone. 

‘It was one that I donated and she didn’t like and I was like ‘oh OK’. I thought it was great.’

When it came to her own outfit revisted a tried-and-tested wardrobe formula as she made her first public appearance of 2019 today. 

She opted for a £2,600 coat by Oscar de la Renta and a simple £179 black dress from maternity label Hatch for the visit to the headquarters of women’s charity Smart Works in this morning. 

The look is strikingly similar to one sported by Meghan on an outing to South Beach during their royal tour of Australia, New Zealand, Tonga and in October last year.
