Duchess Meghan is living the low-key California life with her friends.
The royal made a rare cameo in a group selfie shared by her friend entrepreneur Myka Harris, who runs purpose-driven, self-care California business Highbrow Hippie.
“Belated bday celebrations w/ these lovely muses. missing sweet @sergenormant,” Harris wrote over the photo of poet Cleo Wade, Markle, and hair colorist Kadi Lee on a lunch date.
In the snap, Markle looks lovely in a simple black tank top and dainty gold pendant necklace by Ariel Gordon. Her skin is glowing, and she seems to wear minimal, natural makeup. The duchess affectionately hugs Wade and Lee while smiling widely at the camera.
Markle has been lying low this year. The royal did not join husband Prince Harry at King Charles III’s coronation in May, and instead stayed back in Montecito, California, with their two kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
Since then, she has been spotted out several times in her neighborhood. This past weekend, she effortlessly embraced quiet luxury in a camel-colored wrap coat by Max Mara, which she wore open over a beige sweater, white jeans, tan-and-black Chanel slingbacks, and a white Goyard tote bag. She topped off the look with a blue, white, and yellow cashmere Hermès shawl, a black-and-gold Givenchy belt, white pearl earrings, and an array of silver rings.
And last month, the duchess was photographed shopping at a local farmers’ market while wearing a slinky sand-colored jumpsuit paired with a white linen button-down, a large raffia tote bag, and black aviator sunglasses with golden frames.
