The Brand That Made Meghan Markle's Engagement Coat Is Renaming it the 'Meghan'
The Internet all but combusted this morning when Kensington Palace announced that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were officially engaged. Then, there was a formal photo call at Kensington Palace’s Sunken Gardens, which sparked another round of overjoyed fan reactions. To top it all off, the 36-year-old actress stepped out with new fiancé wearing a coat that sent everyone into yet another spiral.
Everyone had questions after seeing Markle and Prince Harry together as a newly engaged couple—mainly, what’s the story behind her sparkly engagement ring, and which lucky designers dressed her for the big reveal? The makers of Markle’s first royal look have thankfully been identified: She opted for a white coat by Canadian brand Line the Label, a green dress by P.A.R.O.S.H., and heels by Aquazurra.

Shortly after the outfit credits were identified, Markle’s exact Line the Label coat sold out, with the brand reportedly experiencing some technical difficulties amid all the royal excitement.
John Muscat, President and Co-Founder of Line the Label, released a statement shortly after the sighting: “We are incredibly honored that Meghan chose to wear a LINE coat to mark this very special occasion. Meghan has an effortlessly chic sense of style, which we’ve always admired.”
Markle has been a fan of the brand for some time now. Before the engagement photo call, the Suits star wore trench coat by the knitwear brand to the Invictus games back in September. (This was also the first time she stepped out publicly with Prince Harry.)

Given all this excitement (and Markle’s love for the brand), Muscat announced that Line the Label would be renaming the coat she wore to the photo call after the future royal. “We know this particular coat is one of her favorite pieces so we have officially decided to name it the ‘Meghan,” he said in a statement. “We are elated for Meghan and wish her a lifetime of happiness with Prince Harry.”
While all that interest in the newly dubbed ‘Meghan’ coat wiped the retailer clean of inventory, there’s still hope if you’re dying for Markle’s exact outerwear: A representative for Line the Label tells Glamour that you can place an order for the coat by sending an email to line@nkpr.net. The Meghan coat retails for $799 Canadian dollars, which is about $626.50 in U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate.
While LINE is a clear Markle favorite, her garments from other retailers have also attracted some serious traffic. Last September, her burgundy dress from Aritzia and her white ‘Husband’ button-down from Misha Nonoo were also swiped up fast by royal fans. Safe to say that we’ll likely get even more iconic—and instantly sold-out—fashion moments from the bride-to-be in the months ahead.
