New mum Meghan Markle looks radiant in white dress for first appearance with baby son

The first photos of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's new baby boy are in.

The couple released two images from St George’s Hall at Windsor Castle, where Prince Harry was seen loving cradling his son, who was born in the early hours on Monday, 6 May.

New mother Meghan looked radiant in a white sleeveless trench dress, a contemporary silhouette which the royal has worn several times over the past year.

The outfit held many poignant details - its white hue and wrap around belt being fittingly reminiscent of Meghan's Line The Label coat, which was worn at the couple's engagement announcement in 2017.

Although many suspected Meghan would wear her go-to Givenchy by Clare Waight Keller for the occasion, the new mum instead chose to shine a spotlight on one of the UK's most up-and-coming designers: Grace Wales Bonner.

The 28-year-old from South East London has experienced an exciting few weeks. In April the British-Jamaican designer collaborated with Dior, creating an ensemble for the French brand's 2020 cruise show, and mere days ago, she won the BFC Vogue Designer Fashion Fund.

Meghan accessorised the minimal outfit with a subtle necklace by LA-based designer Jennifer Meyer, which held three turquoise stones on a thin silver change, perhaps to signify the three members in the Sussex family.

Meghan's outfit was in noticeable contrast to sister-in-law Kate Middleton's style after the birth of the Cambridges children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. Each time the 37-year-old left the Lindo Wing in a brightly coloured shift dress, which were all by British designer Jenny Packham.
