Meghan Markle was spotted sporting a humble £9 shopping bag from a Caribbean shop as she and Prince Harry returned from a romantic weekend getaway.

The Caribbean Flour & Feed Sack shopping bag is an upcycled accessory is made by Alethea John and her mother Bernice John, who run A&B Boutique on the island of Bequia, the largest of the Grenadine islands. She threw the bag over her shoulder as she wore a black long-sleeve maxi dress which she teamed with her £570 Hermes Oran Sandals in Gold and her £1,000 Hermes Brides de gala scarf.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were spotted arriving in Atlanta on a private flight following their holiday to the tiny island of Canouan in St Vincent and the Grenadines. The couple were seen disembarking the plane and leaving the tarmac where they were greeted by staff and U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents.

It comes after there may have been some "tension" when Meghan and Prince Harry arrived back in the US, a body language expert has suggested. They're believed to have been without their two children whilst on the trip.

Body language expert Judi James spoke to the Mirror about the photos. She teased that there appears to be some "tension" and that Meghan looks "keen" to get back to their children Prince Archie, four, and Princess Lilibet, two.

Sharing her thoughts, Judi said about the couple: "This is a much more practical and even serious-faced look from Harry and Meghan, who have chosen to uncouple from their signature clasped hands togetherness as Meghan walks across the tarmac first, taking care of business by pointing to the waiting cars while Harry saunters up several paces behind her, chatting to a member of their entourage."

Judi added: "The idyllic hand-in-hand wandering through empty streets look of their holiday photo is gone and Meghan's raised armed point, dipped chin and speedy-looking stride suggests some tension as she takes the lead, as though she might be keen to get back to their home."

The body language expert said that Prince Harry however seemed to be in "less of a hurry". She commented: "Harry does seem to have brought a more relaxed holiday vibe back with him, still dressed in his white t-shirt and casual cap, while, despite the lack of a smile, he appears to be in less of a hurry as he brings up the rear and chats."
