The Meghan Wardrobe Tour Stole from Kate

The Duchess of Sussex shops at his own wardrobe.


He has not even been a month sinceMeghan murderjoined "the company", but it has already been franchised and center with two major events withPrince Harry And the rest of the royal family. The first, only three days after his wedding, was a garden party at the celebrant Buckingham PalacePrince Charles' 70th anniversary (the actual date is in November), and the other was the recent troop of color, the ceremonial event commemorating Queen Elizabeth's birthday. Judging by appearances, Meghan is determined to look at each thumb a HRH.

After collecting high notes for its classic elegant wedding dress designed by Givenchy'sClare Wayight KellerThe royal observers were eager to see how the old actress would dress to impress these official functions now that she has a very different audience to look at her every movement. The pengunant of Meghan for ungrove players translated into two surprisingly similar dresses for his first two outings like the Sussex duchess. She wore a change of pale mole with a purenette and sleeves by the British label, the goat, for the festival of Charles and a pastel roseCarolina Herrera Off shoulder dress off to have tasked the color.

And taking a page ofCatherine, Cambridge Duchess Playbook style, she bought her closet and wore the same thingPhilip Treale Hat at the two events.

The Cambridge duchess is a recycler known with its favorite accessories and dresses. For years, she apparently worn the same nude pumps LK Bennett with everything. It has also been known to carry the same dresses and coats over a season and has brought many of the same maternity looks during the three pregnancies. Catherine promotes designer labels likeAlexander McQueen and Erdem for his "work wardrobe", but also wears "high street" drawings inexpensive shops like Zara (like the $ 70 linen dress it wore forPrince William Polo Match last weekend) when it is "out of service" with the family.

"The duchess is pretty cautious on his wardrobe," said a royal insider. "She loves fashion, but does not want to be considered obsessed fashion. Like all other young modern women, she has many more things more important to fear than her clothes."

Meghan's decision to wear sober dresses and the same philip treacy hat with two back events show that she is aware of not appearing as she spends a fortune buying a brand new wardrobe now that she is a member of the Royal family. Its choice of a dress of $ 75,000 Ralph & Russo for its official engagement portrait raised eyebrows among those who thought it was a rather extravagant decision (especially compared to Catherine's $ 300 $ 300 portrait dress. that she had already had several times since). This makes MEGHAN more conservative post-marriage choices.

All Meghan wore the royal appearances before the wedding was paid to get out of his own pocket and that it would have cost nearly $ 200,000 (including the engagement dress), but with a net worth of one of 5 Million dollars reported, it could easily afford. Now that she married in the royal family, her clothing budget is considered an expense and is paid by the Duchy of Cornwall, Domaine de Prince Charles. The royals are not allowed to accept free clothes designers.

The Duchy of Cornwall pays the $ 28 million reported per year in Charles, who then awarded the funds to young royals for their household spending, which includes staff salaries, office costs and clothing. Prince Harry has a lot of money in his own right - he inherited $ 13.4 million from his end of his motherprincess dianaWhen it reaches 30 years - so Meghan does not have to shop the sales rack, but she is aware that the criticism of her shopping habits could do.

"Meghan knows everything she does is to be looked very carefully," said my source. "She sees Kate being very intelligent about how she looks stylish without appearing extravagant and follows the same strategy. If she follows the example of Kate, she is fine. Once again, it could also be that she was not used to buying hats and just wanted to stay with the one who works for now. She will certainly need a lot more of them in the future.
