Meghan Markle styles double denim with $28K in jewelry during Texas BBQ date with Prince Harry

She’s bringing the Canadian tuxedo to Texas.

Meghan Markle might have dropped some surprising news with the launch of her new brand, American Riviera Orchard, this week, but she kept it cool in a double-denim look with nearly $30,000 in jewelry last Friday as she hit a BBQ restaurant in Austin, Texas with Prince Harry.

The Duchess of Sussex, 42, looked casual in a pair of light-wash jeans and a button-up chambray shirt for her visit to Austin’s La Barbecue, posing for several pics with employees and the restaurant’s owner, Alison Clem, ahead of her SXSW speech.

She appears to be wearing Aritizia’s ’80s Comfy Denim Shirt ($98) underneath an ivory Heidi Merrick blazer ($345), pairing the look with straight leg jeans.

The duchess added plenty of designer touches with her laid-back ‘fit, wearing a pair of two-toned Chanel slingbacks ($1,050) and some seriously pricey jewelry.

Markle rocked a $15,600 Logan Hollowell diamond Tennis necklace with a $5,500 diamond Tennis bracelet by Ariel Gordon and a pair of stud earrings.

She also sported two of her everyday jewelry pieces, including Princess Diana’s gold Cartier watch with a gold Cartier Love bracelet ($7,350).

Meanwhile, Prince Harry coordinated with his wife in shades of blue, wearing a long-sleeved navy polo with the sleeves pushed up and a pair of blue chinos.

Later in the day, Markle rocked a cream silk Giuliva Heritage shirt ($974) with subtle stripes and a matching maxi skirt ($1,050) as she took the stage at a SXSW panel titled “Breaking Barriers, Shaping Narratives: How Women Lead On and Off the Screen.”

Her SXSW appearance follows the news that Markle — who previously ran lifestyle blog “The Tig” in her pre-royal days — is launching a spinoff of the popular site this year.

A source told Page Six Style Thursday that American Riviera Orchard will focus on products in the gardening, homewares and food spaces.

“She’s been working on this for over a year and it’s all the things that are close to her heart — all the things she’s passionate about,” the insider revealed.
