Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are making their first public appearance in Europe together since the pair stepped back from royal duties. The couple are in the Netherlands for the return of the Invictus Games.

Naturally, all eyes are on Meghan's fashion statements, as she supports her husband at the Invictus Games site in The Hague.

So far, she has kept things classic and chic, with power suits, structured jackets and tweed.

Here are all her looks so far:

For the Invictus Games’ opening reception, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, wore a white Valentino suit, featuring a boxy double-breasted wool blazer with high-waisted trousers. She paired the look with towering white heels from Aquazzura, which she wore for her wedding in 2018. She also sported the diamond earrings from her nuptials.

Meghan accessorised her monochrome suit with a white Valentino bag and gold jewellery, including a Love pendant by designer Sophie Lis, a delicate gold hand chain and a Cartier Tank watch that used to belong to Princess Diana.

Over the weekend, Meghan was pictured sporting a more casual look for the Jaguar Land Rover Driving Challenge. The duchess wore a cropped black tweed jacket featuring gold buttons by Celine, paired with light-wash denim jeans and two-toned ballet flats.

She wore her raven hair tied back in a ponytail, and sported gold-rimmed aviator sunglasses.

For the games' opening ceremony on Saturday night, during which Meghan spoke on stage, she chose an off-the-shoulder, bardot-style white bodysuit by designer Khaite, paired with black wide-leg trousers. She wore her hair pulled back into a loose bun, and accessorised with a gold bangle necklace and diamond stud earrings. She paired the look with pointed black heels.

On Easter Sunday, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex spent the day watching part of the competition, including a volleyball game, which took place at the Sportcampus Zuiderpark in The Hague.

Meghan chose a belted Ivory blazer for the occasion, from designer Brandon Maxwell, paired with dark wash, straight-leg jeans and nude suede heels by Manolo Blahnik. She wore her hair down in loose curls, and accessorised with the same Sophie Lis Love pendant she sported two days earlier.

On Sunday, the duchess had another outfit change ahead of an evening reception. She again chose Valentino for the occasion, sporting a white crepe mini dress featuring a high neckline and cut-out panelling across the chest. She paired the look with dark brown Manolo Blahnik pumps and a chocolate Khaite shoulder bag. She topped off the look with a bold red lip.

This is the first time the couple have made a public appearance in Europe since quitting as senior working royals more than two years ago. The couple, who now live in Montecito, California, arrived in The Hague, the Netherlands, on Friday, after stopping off in the UK to visit Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles.

Five healthy carbs and how to eat them

Brown rice: consume an amount that fits in the palm of your hand

Non-starchy vegetables, such as broccoli: consume raw or at low temperatures, and don’t reheat  

Oatmeal: look out for pure whole oat grains or kernels, which are locally grown and packaged; avoid those that have travelled from afar

Fruit: a medium bowl a day and no more, and never fruit juices

Lentils and lentil pasta: soak these well and cook them at a low temperature; refrain from eating highly processed pasta variants
