In Scotland, Markle wore a Burberry coat and Veronica Beard pants, and smartly donned a purse made by Edinburgh firm Strathberry. Following the visit to the castle, Harry and Markle visited the social enterprise cafe, Social Bite, which distributes thousands of food and beverage items to the homeless in Scotland each year.
