Meghan Markle appears to have ignored weather reports when she packed for her trip to New York City this weekend, and has so far stepped out in two unseasonably warm coats despite hot, humid temperatures in the city.
This afternoon, the mother-of-two left the The Carlyle hotel and headed to 50 United Nations Plaza dressed in a heavy, soft-looking camel-colored coat, which she wore open but layered over a long-sleeve black turtleneck top.
She added a $3,350 Valextra bag to match.
It was a small outfit change from her trip with Prince Harry to One World Trade Center and the 9/11 Memorial this morning, where she wore the same long-sleeve top with a heavy black coat on top.
The coats were an unexpected and bizarre choice given New York’s high temperature of 81 degrees Fahrenheit (27.2 degress Celcius) today, as well as a humidity hovering above 70 per cent.

Meghan looked unruffled — and certainly, sweat-free — despite bundling up in clothes that would be more appropriate on a much cooler day.
In fact, New York City’s forecast is for warm weather all weekend while she and Harry are in down with highs between 72 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit — yet the Duchess has packed at least two coats for her visit.
Earlier on Thursday, she and Harry had visited One World Observatory and the 9/11 Memorial at the World Trade Center.
Meghan wore the same black slacks and long-sleeve turtleneck top, but had layered them with a cozy black wool coat.
She added a pair of Aquazzura pumps and sparkling diamond jewelery

Oddly enough, Meghan was mostly less bundled-up today than she was the last time she came to New York City — though that was in February of 2019 in the middle of a snow storm.
At the time, she was pictured arriving at and leaving the Mark Hotel, where her baby shower was being held, on several occasions.
On February 20, a then-seven-months-pregnant Meghan wore a short-sleeve coat that left her arms from her elbows down bare.
By the time snow actually began coming down, she’d swithced to a more sensible beige coat, which she wore open in front.

Many people on social media were left stunned by the royal’s decision to wear such a warm outfit on a hot and humid day in the city
Today, social media users have been left baffled by Meghan’s wardrobe, with one writing: ‘Does she never learn how to wear clothes that suit the occasion and weather?
‘It’s a hot and humid day in New York and she is wearing a high collar and coat.’
Another posted: ‘It’s a hot day here in New York. Why is she dressing like this?’
A third added: ‘She looks bitter, also this morning in New York city is 80 per cent humidity and hot! Why doe she wear a dark heavy coat?’
‘It’s tremendously hot and humidity today in New York and she’s wearing a black heavy coat??? She’s so ridiculous. Please check the forecast,’ another commented.
