It should come as no surprise that Meghan Markle was effortlessly chic [1] at the recent wedding of Prince Harry's best friend [2] in Jamaica. After all, she has spent the last few years perfecting the art of traveling in style [3]. Even before she started dating Harry, the actress split her time between LA and Toronto (where she films the USA series Suits) and also managed to find time for charity visits to Rwanda and India [4] and vacations with friends. When she became a royal girlfriend [5], Meghan started racking up even more air miles with her many trips to the UK. So, who better to turn to for a little travel inspiration?
