To encourage her fellow Americans to Get Out The Vote this midterm election, Meghan Markle has shared an “I Voted” picture and a short, informative post on her and Prince Harry’s site, Archewell.
And of course, she's in perfect West Coast preppy style. Since it's been a bit rainy in SoCal, the Duchess of Sussex opted for a dark blue slicker over a grey knit sweater and a baseball cap bearing her company's logo. The most important accessory, of course, is the red and blue “I Voted” sticker affixed to her chest. Look how happy she is to participate in the democratic process! We should all do that.
“Oh, I’m in the thick of it."
In case you're curious, Meghan's raincoat is from one of her favourite ethical fashion brands, Cuyana – the Pleat-Back Anorak, to be specific, which costs $298 (around £260). It's clearly a favourite staple, since she also owns it in olive green. Of course, it's now completely sold out.
You might be wondering whether Meghan Markle voted early, absentee, or in person at a polling place, and I can tell you with pretty much 100% certainty that she cast her ballot by mail some time before today.
The Duchess of Sussex appeared unbothered by ongoing royal drama.
First of all, if Megs had rolled up to a local Montecito polling place, either today or during the early-voting period, I would have seen a tweet about it. Second, I'm pretty sure that's a used sticker. But who can say for sure? (I vote by mail in California and I get a sticker that does not indicate I voted by mail, but does indicate I voted in San Francisco's election, so I'm not sure what the process is in Meghan Markle's district. You can see my sticker, affixed to my cat, here.)
In any case, good for her!
