Prince Harry's Oprah Interview Outfit Has a Special Significance

Posted by Jenniffer Sheldon on Monday, April 15, 2024

It's safe to say that much of the world will be tuning in to watch Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry's exclusive interview with Oprah Winfrey.

It's already been revealed that Meghan Markle wore an Armani silk wrap dress, along with a Cartier diamond bracelet that reportedly belonged to Princess Diana, for her interview with Oprah. And it would seem that Prince Harry's choice of outfit for the tell-all is also packed with meaning.

At first glance, Prince Harry's light gray suit, worn with an open white shirt, might not seem particularly out of the ordinary. The outfit, which consists of J. Crew's Ludlow slim-fit suit jacket and matching suit pant, comes in at just $727, making it an incredibly affordable ensemble for the royal. However, this has fast become one of Harry's go-to looks, and an outfit that he's worn for some very significant occasions.

Perhaps most notably, Harry wore the suit for the very first photo opportunity with his son, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. Along with Meghan, Harry posed with Archie in St. George's Hall at Windsor Castle on May 8, 2019, two days after his son was born.

Harry also opted for the sleek J. Crew outfit for his son's christening in July 2019. As a result, Harry's decision to re-wear the look for his interview with Oprah is a clear nod to his son, Archie.

Prior to this, Harry also wore the suit during a visit to Chichester with Meghan in October 2018.

And when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived into Casablanca Airport in Morocco in February 2019, Harry was wearing his trademark gray suit.

Prince Harry is most definitely fond of his J. Crew suit, and it's easy to see why.
