A spokesperson for Strathberry said that they were pleased that Meghan Markle chose to use their brand in Scotland, and in their home city saying: “We are pleased to welcome Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to Edinburgh on their first official visit to Scotland, and the support they are giving projects in our historic city is fantastic.

“It is such an honour to see Meghan carrying a Strathberry bag again; this time an East / West Mini in Bottle Green.
