Meghan Markle wore a mix of high street and high-end looks during her six days at the Invictus Games, but still wore almost £300,000 worth of clothes and jewellery.

The Duchess of Sussex42, is known for her love for designer brands, expensive accessories and glittering jewelry worth thousands of euros.

While we opted for some mega-expensive brands, including Givenchy, Chanel and Hermes, Meghan also showed a more low-key approach to dressing than many were used to.

The royal mother of two turned to major retailers like Zara, Banana Republic and J Crew for affordable fashion pieces, as well as mid-range designers like Ralph Lauren and Toteme.

However, the bulk of Meghan’s bill was made up by her jewellery, which included Princess Diana’s £17,800 Cartier watch and her £50,000 Lorraine Schwartz pinky ring, made with ‘diamonds donated from the Middle East’, as well as a £2260 tennis ball from 1972. pinkie ring by Shiffon and Co.

While a working member of the Royal familythe cost of Meghan’s clothes for work appointments was covered by the then Prince Charles through the budget he gave the Duchy of Cornwall couple.

But after the couple said they want to be financially independent, it is not clear who picks up the bill for Meghan’s clothes, whether the duchess always pays full price for her clothes, or receives discounts from designers.

Here, FEMAIL calculates the value of Meghan’s Invictus Games wardrobe, taking into account the cost of items only once and not including recycled pieces.
