Sadly, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's royal tour of Africa, with baby Archie, is now over... But, on the plus side, you can now see all of Meghan's gorgeous looks.

The Sussexes visited Africa at the request of the Foreign Office, according to a statement released by Buckingham Palace earlier this year. Prince Harry revealed on the Sussex Royal Instagram account that the tour will focus on 'community, grassroots leadership, women's and girl's rights, mental health, HIV/AIDS, and the environment.'

The family arrived in Cape Town on Monday the 23rd of September, then Harry took short trips to Angola, Botswana and Malawi while Meghan and baby Archie remained in South Africa. The couple then visited Johannesburg together before flying back to London today.

Just a few days into the tour, Meghan was already having an effect on fashion buying. Lyst reports that searches for Staud dresses have soared by 625% since Meghan wore the 'Millie Dress' from the brand, searches for the Club Monaco dress she wore on day two are up 570% and her black Everlane jumpsuit appearance increased searches for 'black jumpsuits' by 384%.

Meghan has kept the well-worn royal tradition of wearing items from local designers on her tour. See all of her looks below, including the sleeveless House of Nonie trench dress which she decided to rewear.

Day 8

For her first state dinner at Fiji's Grand Hotel, the Duchess wore a caped gown by British label Safiyaa in Fijian blue, complete with earrings borrowed from the royal vaults. No tiara, though - that's because a state dinner is a black tie occasion (unlike a state banquet) and so tiaras are not required. Good to know.
