As they arrived in Nottingham for their first public engagement as a couple Meghan Markle and her husband-to-be Prince Harry appeared to be the perfect match.
However, it was not just the couple who went hand in hand with the prince and his fiance appearing to have colour coordinated their ensembles.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry appeared to be in perfect sync as they arrived in Nottingham for their first royal engagement on Friday
It seems that the bride-to-be is keen to bring a little of her former-home of Toronto with her having also opted for a Canadian brand for her engagement photo-call.
The white wool coat was from Canadian brand Line The Label. Founded in 2000 by friends John Muscat And Jennifer Wells, the brand is known for its stylish knitwear and use of sumptuous materials and counts actresses Sarah Jessica Parker and Kate Bosworth among its A-list fans.
Taking a step away from the thigh skimming red-carpet looks that fans will be familiar with the bride-to-be opted for a full-length camel coloured skirt.
Embracing her new heritage the skirt is from British brand Joseph coming in at £595, while her handbag was by Scottish brand Strathberry.
Meghan was seen carrying her handbag with her while meeting the crowds – something that Kate rarely does – while her engagement ring was on full display.
The actress finished her ensemble with a pair of elegant black suede heeled boots, a change from the court shoes royal fans are used to seeing on the Duchess of Cambridge.

She and Harry opted for complementary colours in the form of navy coats with sand-coloured accents
Wearing her brunette locks down in loose waves, she showed off her natural, glowing complexion as she arrived in the city.
It seems that Meghan may have also had an input when it came to Harry’s wardrobe who stepped out in a tonally similar ensemble.
The prince, 33, was also seen in a navy blue wool coat and his suede desert boots complimented the colour of Meghan’s coat.
Shunning the traditional suit which is normally favoured by male members of the royal family for public engagements, Harry instead opted for a simple open collared white shirt.

He also appeared to accent the colour of Meghan’s skirt wearing a scarf in a shade of sand that almost perfectly matched the 36-year-old’s outfit.
As the couple arrived, they walked towards a group of dignitaries with one arm around each other’s backs.
The couple appeared in perfect sync as they moved along the seemingly endless line of well-wishers.
Members of the crowd called out Harry’s name, while others held up camera phones to capture the moment, or stretched out their hands for the prince and his fiancee to shake.

The visit aims to raise awareness of HIV/Aids and efforts to tackle youth crime but it also gave the prince the opportunity to showcase his partner to the nation.
Harry chose Nottingham, a city he knows well, for their first walkabout, a mainstay of royal engagements.
The couple, who arrived by train, began their tour with a civic welcome at the National Justice Museum in Nottingham’s historic Lace Market district.
Ahead of their arrival, hundreds of curious and excited onlookers had packed the streets, including avid fan Irene Hardman.

The 81-year-old is well-known for handing bags of Haribo sweets to Harry, and first presented his father, the Prince of Wales, with two bags – the other for brother William – 20 years ago.
She said: ‘It is absolutely wonderful and fantastic, and we’re privileged they’ve chosen Nottingham to be their first official engagement.’
The city and its people are close to Harry’s heart, with the visit his third public trip there since October last year.
It is the first official engagement by the couple in what will be a six-month tour of the UK, allowing the American former actress to get to know her new home.
Holly Burdett, who is originally from West Bridgford, Nottinghamshire, but now lives in Sydney, Australia, flew back to the UK earlier this month on a ‘gamble’ that the couple would announce their engagement.
She said: ‘It paid off – I knew they’d be in London, doing something, and it’s been about a year since they started properly dating.’
She joked: ‘I always thought I’d marry Harry but you can’t win them all.
‘As long as they’re happy, that’s all that matters.’
