In 4.5in heels, Meghan goes out on a high

- By Rebecca English Royal Correspond­ent

FOR her first solo engagement as a member of the Royal Family, she certainly cut a figure of stature.

With husband Prince Harry left at home, the Duchess of Sussex stepped out in 4.5in black stilettos as she visited the Royal Academy of Art in London last night.

But while Meghan, 37, looked elegant in a £2,500 black evening dress by her wedding gown designer Givenchy, her vertiginou­s heels left her walking a little gingerly as she climbed out of the car.

The £490 suede shoes are by one of Meghan’s favourite labels, Aquazzura. She was guest of honour at the opening of Oceania, the first major showcase of art from that part of the world to be held in the UK. The outing came a year to the day since she went public with Harry at the Invictus Games in Toronto.

Until now, Meghan has always been supported on engagement­s by her husband, the Queen or even her mother, Doria Ragland, who was by her side at the launch of a Grenfell Tower fundraisin­g cookbook last week. But it was a confident solo debut for the former actress, who said the exhibition was ‘a great introducti­on’ to a region she and Harry will visit next month.
