Meghan Markle Dresses Like A Princess For Royal Family Christmas Lunch At Buckingham Palace

Taking style cues from Kate Middleton? - by Tina Burke

Meghan Markle took a big step with her future in-laws today, attending her first ever Christmas lunch with the royal family at Buckingham Palace.

Meghan's attendance at the lunch follows the news that she'll be spending Christmas with the royals in Norfolk, she is also rumoured to be spending Christmas Eve at Kate Middleton and William's house with the children.

The former Suits actress was seen arriving at the lunch today in her fiancé Prince Harry's Land Rover.

Meghan wore a lace A-line dress by cult UK brand Self-Portrait, a favourite of Kate Middleton.

Despite the fact that all we have are these grainy, aesthetically displeasing photos, keen-eyed fans were able to quickly identify her frock as the Self-Portrait Nightshade Midi Dress.

Unfortunately - but true to form - the dress sold out within seconds thanks to what we're now dubbing "The Meghan Effect."

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were also seen arriving to the Queen's household minutes after Harry and Meghan. Prince George and Princess Charlotte sat in the back of the car, with their nanny Maria Borrallo.
