Meghan Markle’s Expensive Wardrobe: A Look at Her Latest Outfit and Past Spending Habits
Since leaving the royal family and relocating to California, Meghan Markle's love for designer brands, expensive accessories, and glittering jewels worth thousands of pounds has only accelerated.
According to research, the average American household spends around $1,400 a year on clothes, but Meghan is far from average.
This year, Meghan's wardrobe was worth a whopping $78,000, which is $20,000 more than her 2021 total of $58,000.
In 2020, the year she stepped back as a senior royal, she donned outfits worth around $44,000.
While a working member of the royal family, the cost of Meghan's clothes for work engagements was covered by Prince Charles through the budget he gave the couple from the Duchy of Cornwall.
However, after the couple said they wanted to be financially independent, it's not clear who's picking up the bill for Meghan's clothes or whether she always pays full price for her clothing or receives discounts from designers.

Meghan's penchant for overpriced clothing has been well-documented.
She had the most expensive wardrobe of any major European royal in 2018, calculated around $508,000.
Her maternity wardrobe cost around $675,000.
But despite her expensive taste, there's no amount of money that can make her classy.
At the Intrepid Museum's annual salute to freedom gala in New York City in November 2021, Meghan wore a red Carolina Herrera dress with thin straps, a plunging neckline, and a slit up the center, worth thousands of dollars.
However, things went wrong when it came to her choice of shoes.
She added crimson Giuseppe Zanotti slingbacks that totally clashed with the vibrant red gown.
Despite this event happening in November 2021, Meghan's dress still made the red carpet look she didn't like in 2022 list.
It's clear that Meghan randomly showing up at the Intrepid gala in New York was an attempt to get back at Catherine for her spectacular gold dress.
However, it didn't go the way she thought.
The style of the dress didn't suit her at all, and the dress might have been her color, but it didn't fit her properly.
One Royal Watcher commented on Meghan's dress, saying, “She actually markeled herself on this one.
If you have a look at how the garment is supposed to fit, you'll notice the bra cups are wider and longer on the model.
In the docu when she was getting fitted, you could see that they were taking away a good two inches of fabric from the top of the cup.
And I assume the sides too, considering how puckered that underarm side panel is.
In doing so, she completely threw off the balance and even shape of the original dress.
You don't know best on everything, honey.”
It's not just Meghan's dress that has come under scrutiny.
Her expensive wardrobe has raised eyebrows, with many questioning her spending habits.
While some argue that as a public figure, she has a duty to dress well, others believe that her spending is excessive.
Despite Meghan's love for designer clothes, it seems that money can't buy class.
Catherine's gold dress that she wore to the James Bond premiere was an instant knockout.
The gown fit her like a glove and is easily one of her best looks to date.
She hasn't topped it since.
Even Daniel Craig was taken aback.
In conclusion, Meghan Markle's love for designer brands and expensive clothes is well-documented.
