Meghan Markle's royal hat collection in pictures

Meghan Markle, 36, made her first appearance as a newly-wed at a Buckingham Palace Garden party yesterday.

The summer event, just three days after the incredible royal wedding, was in honour of her father-in-law Prince Charles’s 70th birthday.

Meghan was joined by her new husband Prince Harry, 33, who gave a speech praising his father.

The former actress upped her hat game on her first official outing as the Duchess of Sussex.

Meghan wore what is believed to be a custom-made Philip Treacy dome hat in blush pink to match her pink silk-crepe dress by British brand Goat.

Look through this gallery to see Meghan Markle’s royal hat collection.

Pictures show the hats worn by the Duchess to the Anzac Day Services at Westminster Abbey and Hyde Park on her last public appearance before her wedding.

You will see her love of beret style hats, including the striking Stephen Jones white felt beret worn at the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey in March.

The gallery also shows the brown velour beret hat with twist detail by Philip Treacy that Meghan Markle wore when she joined the royal family for the Christmas Day church service in Sandringham.

In addition to this, here are the best and worst hats from the royal wedding at the weekend.
