Who is paying for Meghan Markle’s royal wardrobe?

Meghan Markle’s wardrobe has been closely watched since it was first revealed that her and Prince Harry were pursuing a relationship together.

Every item Meghan is seen wearing seems to go out of stock almost instantly and she has even been setting a few style trends of her own.

Last year, the Aritizia Beaune dress Meghan wore to the Invictus Games was sold out in hours. She was later spotted wearing a Strathberry handbag and then that became an instant hit. More recently, she was seen wearing an $80 Marks & Spencer jumper that continues to sell out whenever it’s restocked.

On Meghan’s first official duty alongside the Queen, she donned a $1800 Amanda Wakeley coat and her designer purchase left many wondering who pays for her royal wardrobe.

Unlike celebrities, members of the royal family are not allowed to accept designer clothing for free, according to PEOPLE.

So, Meghan must pay for her designer wardrobe by herself, which isn’t a problem as she was earning $91,000 per episode of Suits during her final season.

When Harry and Meghan tie the knot, Meghan’s clothing budget will come out of a fund covered by the money Princes Charles gives his children.

Duchess Catherine’ s assistant Natasha Archer previously confirmed that the royals call in several options from designers for an event and are only able to choose one, which they pay for while the others are returned.
