Meghan Markle launches new shop including £1,000 silk ‘Windsor’ dress – and adds affiliate links she’ll earn cash from
Meghan Markle has unveiled a curated collection of her favourite wardrobe staples -including a sleeveless gown that retails for over £1,000 and Saint Laurent sandals worth nearly £600.
The Duchess of Sussex, 43, gave her two million Instagram followers a closer look inside her wardrobe when she launched an online shop – with handpicked pieces from brands like Heidi Merrick, Saint Laurent, Reformation, and J Crew.
‘Many of you have asked, so here you go!’ she wrote, over a screen-recorded video of the online shop. ‘A little shopping to start the week.’
The link opens to a ShopMy storefront and Meghan’s first drop includes a £148 white linen shirt, Heidi Merrick’s ‘Windsor’ gown for an eye-watering £1,068, and a Maya Brenner necklace called ‘The Happiness Retreat’ that will set you back by nearlt £400.
A disclaimer on the website, which was launched shortly after Meghan released a new picture of Archie and Lilbet, reads: ‘Please note, some products may contain commissionable links’.
Shortly after the storefront went live, some of the third-party websites – including of Neiman Marcus – went down as the Duchess’ fans rushed to get their hands on a pair of tan-coloured Saint Laurent mules that she has been spotted in on several occasions.
The Duchess – whose Netflix lifestyle show ‘With Love, Meghan’ was renewed for a second season despite lacklustre reviews – is likely to earn a commission or cut on the sale of some of the clothes and accessories she promotes.
The wardrobe comprises mostly elevated basics, including linen shirts, crewneck sweaters, sunglasses, and handbags, in neutral shades like beige, brown, white, black, and navy blue.

Meghan teased there is ‘more to come’ ahead of the launch of her lifestyle company As Ever, following a significant rebrand and name change from American Riviera Orchard.
The launch of the website came less than an hour after Meghan shared an adorable photo of herself with her two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, while promoting As Ever.
The photograph was posted on the company’s Instagram account in collaboration with Meghan’s own page, as it showed the trio picking fruit in the Sussexes’ garden in Montecito, California.
In the snap, which is the most intimate glimpse of Lilibet that Meghan and Prince Harry have shared of their three-year-old daughter for years, the Duchess can be seen carrying her youngest child in her arms.
