From the moment she walked down the aisle with Prince Harry, Meghan Markle has been a global style icon. Her wardrobe choices have consistently left fans in awe, sparking trends and selling out items almost instantly. Known as "The Meghan Effect," her influence has been felt worldwide, turning everyday pieces into must-have fashion statements. Remember the Aritzia Beaune dress she wore to the Invictus Games? It sold out in mere hours. Or the Strathberry handbag that became an instant hit? The impact of her choices is undeniable, and fans eagerly await her next move in the world of fashion.
More recently, Meghan dazzled in a $62 Marks & Spencer knit sweater that continues to fly off the shelves every time it's restocked. While she often opts for accessible, mass-market pieces, Meghan isn't afraid to splurge on high-end designer items. Case in point: the luxurious Amanda Wakeley coat she wore during her first official duty alongside Queen Elizabeth. This extravagant purchase left many wondering: who foots the bill for her royal wardrobe? Let's dive deeper into this fascinating topic.

Unlike many celebrities who receive free designer clothing, members of the royal family must adhere to strict rules. According to reports, they're not allowed to accept complimentary garments from designers. So, how do Meghan and Harry keep their wardrobes stocked? It turns out they pay for everything themselves. This might come as a surprise to some, but when you consider Meghan's impressive $50,000-per-episode salary from her days on "Suits" and her estimated net worth of around $5 million, it makes sense that she has the means to indulge in high-end fashion without breaking the bank.
The Royal Fashion Protocol
According to People magazine, Kate Middleton's assistant Natasha Archer revealed an interesting detail about royal fashion etiquette. When selecting outfits for official events, royals request multiple options from designers but are only allowed to purchase one. The rest must be returned. This process ensures they remain within budget while maintaining their polished appearances. For now, Meghan funds her own fashion choices for official engagements. However, after tying the knot with Harry, she'll have access to the impressive $28 million income shared by Harry, Prince William, and Kate Middleton, thanks to Prince Charles. With this kind of financial backing, we can't wait to see what Meghan will wear next, especially after her stunning $75,000 engagement dress. Her post-wedding style is sure to be just as jaw-dropping!
