Having proven she is no stranger to dressing for the wet weather, Meghan Markle once again showed she is as good at dressing for royal events as she is the great outdoors.

The Duchess of Sussex ditched her Muck wellington boots for trusty Stuart Weitzman Legend stilettos ($529; GBP £292), pairing them with a Brandon Maxwell customised version of the Flutter Sheath dress ($2,555; GBP £1,413) in Auckland.

She then added a Burberry Silk 'Maythorne' sleeved trench ($3,380; GBP £1,869) and wore her hair in a neat bun, as she and Prince Harry attended the opening of a charity that supports children who have a parent in prison through mentoring schemes.

The pregnant Duchess has already worn US designer, Brandon Maxwell, once before, when she changed into a dark green number by the design house while in Sydney the week before last.

Meanwhile, while she has previously opted for the same trench coat by Martin Grant, this time she switched and went British with her choice - picking out the same Burberry trench she wore at the polo in May 2017. 

After attending the charity opening, Prince Harry and Meghan enjoyed a walkabout throughout Auckland.

As ever, they were met with thousands of adoring royal fans, who were keen to snap a photo of the young royals.

Earlier on in the day, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle cut casual figures as they arrived to dedicate a 20-hectare area of native bush to The Queen's Commonwealth Canopy in Auckland. 

The Duchess of Sussex donned a $575 (GBP £317) blazer by New Zealand designer, Karen Walker, which she paired with J. Crew Toothpick jeans and $219 (GBP £120) wellington boots by Muck.

Meghan accessorised her look with Boh Runga earrings, which were a present from the New Zealand president, Jacinda Ardern, and the Swirl Tattoo Diamond Pendant.

The couple unveiled a plaque on the city's North Shore recognising the dedication to the QCC, which conserves indigenous forests for future generations.

They also enjoyed planting native trees and throwing gumboots with local schoolchildren.
