The Duchess of Sussex was stunned in a blue dress and matching pendant for a quick video chat on Thursday’s episode of “The Late Late Show with James Corden”.

Meghan Markle appeared briefly during James Corden’s segment with Prince Harry after the TV host insisted they call the Duchess outside the “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” home. Corden took Harry home as part of a tour of Los Angeles and even had the royal rap the words to the ’90s sitcom’s theme song while they were there.

“Give me your phone. How do you find the Duchess?” Corden asked Harry before using his phone to call Markle.

“I think this is where you should be living,” Corden told the Duchess as she answered the phone. “You would be the new princess of Bel-Air.”

Markle appeared on screen in a $ 30 puff sleeve dress from Velvet Torch. The Los Angeles boutique confirmed the Duchess was wearing her smocked dress in an Instagram post shared on Friday.

“So it happened today !!” wrote the mark on Instagram.

At the time of writing, Velvet Torch’s puff-sleeve smocked dress was sold out in blue on the Nordstrom Rack and brand’s websites. But a Velvet Torch rep told Insider it is accepting pre-orders and the dress will ship no later than March 15. A similar style in black from the same brand is also available from Nordstrom Rack in sizes extra small to extra large.

Markle completed her look with a matching blue necklace and natural makeup.

The Duchess also revealed her nickname to Harry during the video call.

“Haz, how’s your tour of LA going?” Markle asked Harry.

“Haz? I didn’t know we called you ‘Haz’ now,” Corden said.

“You’re not my wife, so -” Harry replied before calling the TV host “the worst tour guide in LA.”

Corden joked that he was Harry’s only tour guide – the royal said earlier in the interview that this was his first visit – and therefore also the best.

During the interview, Harry also opened up about his relationship with Markle, his estrangement from royal life, Archie’s Christmas present from the Queen and his thoughts on Netflix’s “The Crown”, among other topics. .
