Meghan Markle gave tribute to her roots in her first public appearance after her engagement to Prince Harry.
On Monday morning, Prince Harry and Markle posed for photographers in the ground of Kensington Palace in London.
Markle wore a coat by Canadian fashion brand Line - a nod to her own heritage.
The actress was born in the US, but has resided in Toronto, Canada in recent years. The pair reportedly met in Toronto in 2016.
Soon after news broke that Markle had made her first public appearance as Prince Harry's fiancé in a Line coat, the brand's website slowed and crashed for many people.
The couple's plan to wed next year will make Markle the rare American to marry into the royal family.
Neither Markel nor Prince Harry has spoken publicly about the relationship at great length. However, Markle has embraced and highlighted her North American roots through her fashion, wearing Canadian brand Artizia to the Invictus Games in September - the couple's first public appearance together.
