The Duchess of Sussex kept a personal gift from an Essex school in March 2020

Meghan Markle wore a letterman jacket that she was gifted during her last solo engagement as a working royal, to visit a school in Brooklyn with Prince Harry.

The Marcy Lab School was labelled an "alternative to college", and the outing took place before the couple's evening at New York City's Hudson Yards for the Archewell Foundation Parents' Summit: Mental Wellness in a Digital Age.


This school aims to prepare "young adults of colour for rewarding, wealth-generating careers in the tech sector" within a year of studying.

Meghan looked great wearing Frame black skinny jeans, a form-fitting black top, and a pair of Jennifer Chamandi heels.

The duchess paired this with the letterman jacket that she received from a debate team at a school in the UK back in March 2020.

The school was called the Robert Clack School in Essex, and it was Meghan's last solo engagement before moving to North America with her husband.

As the Duchess of Sussex entered the Brooklyn school, which benefited from an Archewell Foundation grant earlier this year, she said: "We're happy to be back in New York City."

During their visit, Prince Harry encouraged the students to look out for one another.

He stated: "Everyone's got their own story, a reason for being here, your life is still going to be filled with complications and challenges.

"And if one of you starts to go quiet, doesn't show up, you need to find out why."

The duke also asked: "What excites you the most and scares you the most about the online world?"

Meghan added: "I think my husband was asking about online spaces because it's a place where so much community can be built, but there's also so much vulnerability.

"There's a lot of saturation, and as parents, we can be hopeful knowing that your bright minds [are at work], knowing that they will be seen, valued and growing in the right direction.

"And that's why it's so important what you're doing at the Marcy Lab."
