Meghan Markle Dragged Over Her Choice of Coat During New York City Visit

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle might have good intentions for their trip to New York City this week, from encouraging children to read with a stop at a school in Harlem to their planned appearance at the Global Citizen Live event in Central Park. However, Markle's choice of heavy coats drew more attention than any of their initiatives. Markle wore a heavy wool coat when she met New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul at One World Trade Center on Thursday, even though it was 80 degrees in the city that day.

Markle wore a long black Armani wool coat, black turtleneck, and wide-legged trousers during their meeting with de Blasio and Hochul. Later on Thursday, she wore a black turtleneck dress with a camel MaxMara wool coat during a stop at the United Nations with Harry, notes InTouch Weekly. While these looks would have been perfect in late fall, outside observers thought Markle's outfits were inappropriate for the weather conditions, although they could also be considered very appropriate for the formal settings the former actress spent her day in.

On Friday morning, Markle and Harry stopped by PS 123 in Harlem, where Markle read a copy of her new book The Bench while Harry joined the schoolchildren. The couple also checked out a mural painted by fourth and fifth graders, reports ABC7 New York. They donated garden boxes with vegetables and herbs to also encourage healthy eating. Markle wore a burgundy pantsuit during the stop.
