Meghan Markle caused Line the Label’s website to crash as fans tried to purchase the outfit she wore at a photocall after news of her engagement was announced on Monday.
The 36-year-old actress and her 33-year-old fiancé, Prince Harry, posed for pictures at the White Garden - a memorial spot for the royal’s late mother, Princess Diana - in the grounds of Kensington Palace just moments after it was confirmed the couple are taking their relationship to the next step.
During the appearance, the star donned a chic white wrap coat from the Toronto-based brand’s Autumn/Winter 2017 collection, which supporters were desperate to get their hands on.
And just moments after she and Harry made their debut appearance as an engaged couple, and details of her attire were shared, the e-store went down.
Meghan paired the outfit with a forest green dress, with a side bow detail on the waistline, designed
by a Milan fashion house P.A.R.O.S.H, which retails for just under R6 900.
The star finished off her simple yet elegant look with nude Matilde Crisscross Suede Aquazzura heels, which boast a 105mm platform and have an ankle strap, and retail for about R5 500.
Meghan - who has been dating the royal for over a year - also flaunted her glitzy engagement ring, which is made of three stones; a larger central stone from Botswana - where the couple enjoyed a safari holiday in September - that is positioned between two diamonds taken from the personal collection of Princess Diana.
But that was not the only piece of stunning jewellery the star wore, as she also donned a pair of 18 karat yellow gold earrings fitted with white opals in the centre.
And the Les Plaisirs de Birks items are retailed for a whopping R15 500.
The happy news was announced in a royal statement issued by Harry’s father, Prince Charles, when it was also revealed the wedding will take place next year.
It stated: “His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, is delighted to announce the engagement of Prince Harry to Ms Meghan Markle.
“The wedding will take place in spring 2018. Further details about the wedding day will be announced in due course.
“His Royal Highness and MsMarkle became engaged in
London earlier this month.”
