Meghan Markle is back in Europe, and the Duchess of Sussex made sure to make a splash with her outfit.

Markle and Prince Harry arrived for a reception to kick off the Invictus Games in The Hague, Netherlands, on Friday.

Her crisp and chic white pantsuit, designed by Valentino, featured wide-leg pants and an oversized blazer.

Markle also made sure her accessories carried plenty of meaning and history.

The Duchess of Sussex sported the Cartier Galanterie de Cartier earrings she wore on her wedding day to Prince Harry, according to the Daily Mail. Markle also wore the diamond earrings at her son Archie's christening in 2019.

On Markle's wrist was a Cartier Tank watch that once belonged to Princess Diana and was given to the Duchess of Sussex as a gift from Prince Harry, the Daily Mail also reported.

Markle added a number of gold pieces to shimmer with her all-white ensemble. She opted for a Sophie Lis pendant necklace, which features a diamond plus sign and a ruby minus sign.

Inscribed on the necklace are the French words "qu'hier" and "que demain," which translates to "more than yesterday, less than tomorrow," according to Town & Country. The words come from a line in the 19th-century poem "The Eternal Song" by Rosemonde Gerard that reads, "Every day I love you more, today more than yesterday, and less than tomorrow."

Markle also sported a gold hand chain — called the "Kitten Mitten" — by the New York brand Catbird, which describes the bracelet as "easy-breezy cool and super foxy."

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were all smiles as they met with athletes for the Invictus Games, a competition for injured service personnel that was founded by Prince Harry back in 2014.

Prince Harry even received a special gift from Team Australia, who surprised him with some very revealing swimwear.

The day before their appearance in the Netherlands, it was revealed that Markle and Harry made a secret visit to Queen Elizabeth.

A spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex confirmed to Insider's Samantha Grindell that Harry and Markle saw the Queen on Thursday.

The visit marks Markle's first in-person meeting with the Queen since early 2020, when the duke and duchess officially stepped down as senior members of the royal family. It was also the first time Markle has seen her grandmother-in-law since the couple's bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Prince Harry was last seen with the Queen publicly at Prince Philip's funeral in April 2021.
