Meghan Markle may have been busy carrying out engagements in Australia last week, along with Prince Harry, but it was her outfits that caught our eye. The 44-year-old royal stepped out at the Round 10 Super Rugby match wearing a classic beige trench from an Australian label, leaning into one of the most timeless wardrobe staples.
The only catch? The coat comes with a £810 price tag, and it quickly becomes a serious investment. So naturally, we went straight to the high street to find a more affordable alternative, and this M&S version is a standout.
While it’s not Meghan’s exact coat, it taps into the same classic trench aesthetic that makes her look so effortlessly polished. The double-breasted front, belted waist and structured collar all mirror that iconic silhouette, giving you the same cinched, put-together finish. It also features similar details like the storm flap, cuff straps and button fastening, which keep that traditional trench feel intact.
There are a few subtle differences, though. Meghan’s coat leans toward a cooler, stone-toned beige, while this version comes in a warmer caramel shade that actually feels perfect for spring styling. The fabric also differs slightly, with this design crafted from 100% cotton, making it breathable, lightweight and ideal for layering as the weather shifts.
If anything, that makes it even more wearable day to day. It’s the kind of coat you can throw over jeans or dress up with tailored pieces for a more polished look. Available in sizes 8 to 24, with both petite and regular fits, it’s far more accessible for a range of body types. It’s also available in black if you’re after something more classic and year-round.
At £95, it means you’ll save a huge £715 while still capturing the same vibe.
Shoppers who have bought the trench have already rated it highly, with one happy customer writing in a review: “Perfect fit, excellent quality and fabric, well made.” While another agreed, writing: “Beautiful black trench coat. An absolute wardrobe staple.” However, some customers felt it appeared a little big.
