Meghan Markle swaps her stilettos for a pair of Hermes flip-flops and airy $760 bedding as she joins husband Prince Harry for his Netflix polo shoot in Palm Beach – a day after she was mocked for her impractical on-court attire
Meghan Markle traded her stilettos for $760 Hermes flip-flops and airy bedding a day after being mocked for her impractical on-court attire at a charity polo match in Miami, Florida.
The Duchess, 42, was spotted in Palm Beach over the weekend joining husband Prince Harry for his new Netflix show about the posh world of polo.
She ditched her elegant white sundress and towering stilettos for a more relaxed outfit for Saturday’s shoot, donning a pale blue linen button-down shirt and breezy white trousers.
Completing her ensemble were matching cream Hermes Oran flat sandals, priced at $760 on the French designer label’s website.
The day before Saturday’s sighting, Harry and Meghan were the main attraction as they took part in a charity game at the Royal Salute Polo Challenge at the posh Grand Champions Polo Club.

Seemingly relaxed and at ease, the couple were joined by close friends and a dozen strong Netflix film crew for the new production.
The prince cut a low-key figure in black jeans and a gray T-shirt – but his arrival was given away by a Netflix film crew on hand to film his interactions with the awestruck players.
He joined the Valiente team behind the scenes as they prepared to take on Coca-Cola at the National Polo Center on Saturday.
The pair mingled with onlookers and smiled for pictures before Harry saddled up to take on a team led by his dashing Argentinian pal Nacho Figueras.
Meghan was seen leaning on a friend’s shoulder before giving their daughter an adoring hug.
The carefully choreographed event raised funds for the Sentebale organisation, which the Prince co-founded in 2006 to help children battling HIV in Africa.
It was also a chance to begin filming for Harry’s new documentary offering ‘unprecedented access to the world of professional polo’, one of two new projects the Sussexes have in the works.

Joined by close friend Serena Williams at the $1,600-a-ticket event, Meghan dressed to impress as she donned an $800 gown by Californian designer Heidi Merrick on Friday.
The royal, who has worn the designer before, paired the flowy white sundress with a statement bow and clipped back with a $3,300 Maison Valentino bag.
Surrounded by her camera crew, Meghan took a risk by towering her heels on the grassy terrain – much to the dismay of online critics who claimed her choice of footwear was inappropriate for the occasion.
While Harry competed in his regular polo attire, he arrived at the event hand-in-hand with the Duchess in a crisp summer look.
He opted for a pair of cream trousers, a light gray jacket and a light blue shirt, while donning some tan slip-on shoes.
A camera crew followed the couple’s every move as Harry scored a goal and then stepped onto the podium to receive the trophy – and a tender kiss from Meghan.

They were back at it Saturday, when about a dozen crew members arrived at the US National Polo Center to be able to film a US Open quarterfinal between the Coca-Cola and Valiente teams.
The new show will be produced by Miloš Balać, the Emmy Award-winning filmmaker behind Ryan Reynolds’ sports doc Welcome to Wrexham.
The prince was flanked by two plainclothes guards, but looked relaxed and engrossed in pre-match team talk before the two sides took to the field.
Harry was joined on the sidelines by Nacho, the pair watched with interest as the crew sent up a drone to get aerial footage of the game.
The prince was very interested in the production side of things, and watched back segments of the footage on a screen.
He paused briefly to pet a cute Jack Russell dog and make a video call, passing the phone to Nacho to say hello.
