The Duchess of Sussex wrapped up in a favourite coat from her pre-royal days as she drove to collect a friend from a Canadian airport yesterday.
Meghan, 38, donned a $695 (£530) down coat from Canadian label Soia & Kyo to pick up pilates instructor pal Heather Dorak from Victoria International Airport.
The army green coat was bought by the Duchess a number of years ago and became a go-to when she lived in Toronto while filming US legal drama Suits.

Meghan was seen wearing the coat on set of the TV show in November 2017 – just weeks before she quit acting and announced her engagement to Prince Harry.
It is the latest signal that the Duchess is returning to her pre-royal style after she was spotted earlier this week in a cosy cable-knit jumper by The Row that she wore on screen as Rachel Zane in Suits.
As Meghan welcomes her friend Heather to Canada, Prince Harry, 35, remains in the UK to take part in meetings about their future role. Their one-year-old son Archie is in Canada with his mother.
Ms Dorak, who hails from in San Antonio, Texas, became Meghan’s pilates guru and attended the royal wedding in May 2018 with her husband Matt Cohen. She runs the Pilates Platinum brand, which the Duchess started attending in Los Angeles.

Meghan has given an early indication of how she intends to spend her time in Canada by making two impromptu visits to community groups in Vancouver.
The first stop was the Downtown Eastside Women’s Center on Tuesday afternoon, where was on hand to ‘offer support’ and ‘boost the staff’s spirits’.

Pre-royal style: The Duchess dressed down for the outing in a pair of denim jeans and a relaxed jumper by The Row, pictured. The same style was worn by the actress on Suits
Taken home: Royals fans were quick to speculate that Meghan’s beige sweater looked identical to the one her character Rachel Zane wore in Suits (pictured)
She dressed down for the occasion in a The Row sweater, a pair of DL1961 denim jeans and a practical pair of brown Le Chameau Jameson quilted boots.
Outside the Duchess wrapped up in another khaki green coat but it is not known if it is the same Soia & Kyo style.
The accessories were typically meaningful, with the Virgo zodiac necklace suggesting that Meghan wants to keep her husband close while he is in the UK.
Such casual separates were staples of Meghan’s wardrobe pre-Harry and serve as yet another indication that she is eager to carve her own path away from the scrutiny – and formality – of the royal family.
