Meghan opted for a simple dusky pink dress at the royal garden party.
The dress is by designer Goat and costs £590 from .
The Flavia silk-crepe pencil dress is a "rose-pink taupe" despite looking suspiciously bridal in the bright afternoon sun.
It comes with a panelled bodice and pencil skirt which reached down to just below the Duchess' knees.
Fabulous fashion editor Gabriele Dirvanauskas shares her thoughts...
THIS is what happens when you marry into The Firm.
One minute, you're a glamorous Hollywood actress, and the next thing you know, you emerge looking two decades older and trussed up in *god forbid* sheer tights.
Meghan's first post-wedding day appearance was at a garden party to celebrate Prince Charles' 70th birthday.
And even Camilla, also 70, would think Meghan's outfit is dull.
The unflattering dress - complete with sheer sleeves and an ill-fitting waistline is by British label Goat, £595.
The black and pink versions are still available to buy - though I doubt that will last for long.
She teamed it with a disc shaped hat by milliner Philip Treacy, and a severe up-do.
As Mrs. Windsor, Meghan isn't allowed to show bare legs to royal events - and I bet the Californian is shuddering on the inside.Welcome to your new style life Meghan, we hope Harry was worth the sacrifice.

She paired the frock with a simple wide-rimmed hat worn at an angle, with her hair in a neat bun.
Once again she went for a stunning, simple make-up look with her trade-mark nude lip and gentle smokey eye.
But in a slightly less advisable fashion choice, the American actress opted for white tights to go with the entire ensemble.
She was accompanied by her new husband Prince Harry who looked damper in a morning suit and tie.
What is royal protocol when it comes to tights?
At royal events the Queen asks that all her guests and family members cover their legs in tights.
Which means even in a calf-length midi dress, the regal clan should always have thier pins covered when on official business.So even if it looks like they're flahsing the flesh, they'll be wearing nude tights.
Meghan appeared bare-legged during a photoshoot for the official engagement announcement in Kensington palace - breaking Her Majesty's rule.
But it seems she's decided to conform with this pair of very pale pantyhoes.
