In Germany, Meghan Markle wears an all-American design, with a touch of French luxury

LONDON — Like mother-in-law, like daughter-in-law.

Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex's return to Europe has so far been filled with winks eye to his late mother -law Diana, Princess of Wales who died 25 years ago last week.

The Duchess is visiting Europe with her husband, Prince Harry, and attended an event of the Invictus Games on Tuesday afternoon in Düsseldorf, Germany.

The pair were there to mark the one-year countdown to the 2023 games, which have been delayed due to the pandemic. Next year will mark the sixth edition of the games, founded by Harry in 2014.
