Meghan Markle rewore a rarely-seen accessory on November 10 in her first public outing since her father’s arrest.
Thomas Markle Sr. was arrested and charged with possession of child sexual abuse material in Florida on November 6.
Meghan put on a united front with her husband, Prince Harry, as they stepped out for their first public appearance since the arrest in Belgium.

While the Duchess of Sussex pulled out of her planned joint keynote address with Harry at the European Parliament, she appeared to make a subtle statement with the inclusion of a rarely-seen accessory.
For her first overseas appearance with Harry since their return to the U.K., Meghan opted for black trousers and a luxurious double-breasted coat, which she cinched at the waist. The royal pulled her long black hair into a sleek low bun with face-framing curtain bangs, showing off her long coat’s wrap neckline and a pair of shimmering black earrings inlaid with multi-watt crystals. Her gold Cartier bracelet and a simple gold wedding band finished off her look.

According to a Meghan style blog, the As Ever founder rewore a pair of vintage Christian Dior doorknocker earrings, which she previously sported at a Sentebale dinner at the Grand Champions Polo Club in Florida in March 2024.
It’s unknown whether Meghan’s nod to Florida is a coincidence amid her father’s recent arrest in the state on allegations of possessing child sexual abuse material. The mom of two—who shares kids Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, with Harry—stayed silent when asked by a reporter about how she was “coping” amid the new allegations against her father.

Meghan broke her silence in a statement shared on October 22, shortly after her half-brother Thomas Markle Jr. reported their father to local authorities. Thomas Markle Jr. alleged that he discovered a trove of “hundreds, if not thousands” of photos depicting child sexual abuse at Thomas Sr.’s home in the Philippines.
Meghan said that she was “deeply distressed” by the “troubling and disturbing allegations” against her father while also revealing that her estrangement from him was to protect her two children.
She continued, “Although the breadth of what has now been uncovered is more sickening than one could ever imagine, my sincerest hope is that justice will be fully served and that the priority remains the safety and protection of innocent children.”
