Since she married Prince Harry two years ago Meghan Markle has worn a parade of designer outfits from brands such as Dior, Givenchy, Prada and Chanel and an array of expensive accessories.
But after quitting the royal family in March and moving to California, the Duchess has taken a decidedly different approach to her wardrobe.
Meghan has slashed the value of the new items she has worn this year, with Femail calculating the royal has won new items of clothing and jewellery worth £44,188 in 2020.
It is a drastic reduction on last year, when her wardrobe was valued at more than £211,693.
Her most expensive outfit came during her farewell tour in March, when she stepped out for lunch at The Goring in an high fashion ensemble worth £14,000.
While a working member of the royal family, the cost of Meghan’s clothes for work engagements was covered by Prince Charles through the budget he gives the couple from the Duchy of Cornwall.
But after the couple said they wanted to be financially independent, it is not clear who is picking up the bill for Meghan’s clothes, or whether the Duchess always pays full price for her clothing, or receives discounts from designers.
Here FEMAIL calculates the cost of Meghan’s royal wardrobe, only taking into account the cost of items once and not counting recycled items.
