While we always knew we’d be eagerly snapping up anything Meghan Markle wore, we couldn’t have predicted that it’d be her choice of coronavirus-prevention face masks that we’d be fawning over.
But alas, here we are. Just as Kate Middleton’s Amaia face mask sold out and prompted a rise in searches for ‘floral face masks’, we can see The Duchess of Sussex shaping our face covering preferences too.
This week Meghan Markle and Price Harry volunteered at a drive-thru charity event for Baby2Baby in LA, handing out nappies and backpacks through car windows.
To do so, Meghan dressed casually in khaki shorts, a Victoria Beckham white shirt, and Adidas Stan Smith trainers, completing the look with a preppy blue and white face covering.
The good news: you can still buy said face mask, if you fancy copying the Duchess.
The blue and white 100% cotton mask is from a brand called Royal Jelly Harlem and costs $15 (£11.50).
It’s a classic striped design with seersucker cotton fabric, and is double-lined with a filter inside.
The brand also makes a matching kids’ version, if you fancy coordinating your coverings as a family.
And, as a heads up, Royal Jelly Harlem is doing a deal where if you buy five masks you only pay for four, so it might be worth stocking up. They have some jazzier floral designs, but we can see why Meghan went for the blue and white option – it’s fresh, light, and goes with everything.
While the US label does ship internationally, the postage might take a little longer than you’d like – so if you’d rather order a similar design from within the UK, we’d recommend this £13 Poppy + Sage option, which also has those smart blue and white stripes, or this £8.99 one from Etsy, which looks super similar to the one Meghan wore.
