Meghan Markle makes her first appearance since giving birth wearing Givenchy

Updated

It's been just over a month since Meghan Markle and Prince Harry welcomed their son Archie Harrison to the world. Since then, Meghan has reportedly been enjoying motherhood and spending time with her new family at Frogmore Cottage. On Saturday, June 8, however, the duchess took a break in her maternity leave to honor Queen Elizabeth's 93rd birthday at the royal Trooping the Colour celebrations in London.

For her first appearance since giving birth, Meghan wore a navy Givenchy dress with flounce sleeves, a coordinating fascinator by Noel Stewart and paired the look with a mini quilted Givenchy handbag. It's no secret that Givenchy is a favorite of the duchess'. Artistic director Clare Waight Keller recently spoke about how their friendship developed while designing the royal's wedding gown in secret.

The Duchess of Sussex was glowing in her monochromatic look, but royal fans couldn't help notice that she was also wearing a new ring. As she waived from a carriage alongside Prince Harry, Kate Middleton and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, you could see that she added a third ring to her ring finger in addition to her engagement ring and wedding band.

Meghan's Mirror, a fan account and blog, tweeted, "Meghan is wearing a third ring on her ring finger — a delicate pave-set band — alongside her engagement and wedding rings."

More fans are speculating that the ring is an eternity ring, which is sometimes given following a marriage and signifies the ongoing love and commitment between a couple. However, there's no official word on the ring's significance.

It's been exactly one month since Meghan Markle and Prince Harry posed for their first photos as a family at Windsor Castle. For the occasion, the duchess stunned in a white belted trench dress by English designer Grace Wales Bonner and nude Manolo Blahnik pumps. Royal fans were quick to comment on not only how stunning the new mom looked, but praised her for showing off her postpartum figure.

Since then, Meghan and Archie have reportedly had several high-profile visitors, from Prince William and Kate Middleton to Priyanka Chopra and Serena Williams. Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland, who went to London sometime in late April in anticipation of the birth of her new grandson, reportedly stayed at Frogmore Cottage for a few weeks to lend a helping hand.

Nonetheless, being on leave hasn't kept the Duchess of Sussex away from controversy. Leading up to an official state visit from US President Donald Trump earlier this week, a video resurfaced of Meghan calling him "misogynistic” and “divisive.” Trump responded by calling her "nasty" and said he even thought about bringing it up to Prince Harry.

The duchess has not announced an official end date to her maternity leave, but according to a royal source who, back in April, said Meghan would make an appearance for the queen's Trooping the Colour, she could be coming back as soon as August.

“Meghan has made it very clear she wants to return to work as soon as possible. She has huge amounts of energy, is extremely determined and wants to be as hands-on as possible with her charities," the source told The Sun, adding that the duchess wanted to wait and see how she felt post-giving birth, but that "she’s pencilled in three months."
