Meghan's $350K Bag Habit Outshines Royal Peers

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, possesses the royal family's most valuable accessory collection, estimated by a retail expert to be worth $350,000. Her penchant for luxury brands like Dior and Fendi, coupled with a significant spending on shoes, positions her as the highest per-item spender despite fewer official appearances.

The Princess of Wales, Catherine, maintains a timeless collection valued at approximately $305,000. Her strategy involves balancing accessible British brands with select heritage investments, a contrast to Meghan's consistently high-ticket choices. Catherine's influence is noted for its ability to drive sales, often referred to as the 'Kate effect'.
