MEGHAN Markle stunned in an all-red outfit on Monday night, as she called for global change in her first UK speech since quitting the Royal Family.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle attended the One Young World opening ceremony in Manchester on Monday night.
The Duchess wore a scarlet £1,100 Valentino blouse and £1,200 wide-leg trousers – plus matching shoes – and donned a slicked-back ponytail.
Meanwhile, Harry's look was much more understated, as he wore a dark suit, white-collared shirt and navy tie.
Early on Monday, the couple had been spotted leaving their temporary residence in Windsor, with Meghan wearing a short-sleeved top – thought to be the £735 Eleanor Polo in Silk Cashmere from Brandon Maxwell and a pair of £760 suede heels.
During her speech, Meghan claimed she was "happy to be back" in the UK while calling for global change led by young people.
This marked her first speech in the UK since she sensationally quit the Royal Family in 2020.

The footman, Steven Kaye told Slingo: “There was one occasion where the under-butler had forgotten to put candles out on the dining table.
