Meghan wore them again in September 2019 when she launched a capsule collection with Smart Works.

"There's so much demand for Meghan to speak out, whether that's in the form of another sit-down interview or even her own memoir," the continued. "She has the potential to make an absolute fortune and clear up a lot of questions."
