Meghan Markle wore a mix of high street and high end looks during her six days at the Invictus Games – but still wore nearly £300,000 worth of clothes and jewellery.
The Duchess of Sussex, 42, is known for her love of designer brands, expensive accessories and glittering jewels worth thousands of pounds.
While opting for some mega expensive brands including Givenchy, Chanel and Hermes, Meghan also showcased a more low-key approach to dressing than many have been used to seeing.
The royal mother-of-two looked to high street retailers like Zara, Banana Republic and J Crew for affordable fashionable pieces as well as mid-range designers like Ralph Lauren and Toteme.
However, racking up the majority of Meghan’s bill was her jewellery, which included Princess Diana ‘s £17,800 Cartier watch and added her £50,000 Lorraine Schwartz pinky ring made with ‘diamonds gifted from the Middle East’ as well as a £2260 1972 tennis pinky ring from Shiffon and Co.

While a working member of the royal family, the cost of Meghan’s clothes for work engagements was covered by then-Prince Charles through the budget he gave 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 value of Meghan’s Invictus Games wardrobe, only taking into account the cost of items once and not counting recycled pieces.
