Over the past year, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, made a total of 56 public appearances across the world.

For each of these outings – from ‘quasi royal tours’ and private lunches, to gala dinners and polo matches – the Duchess of Sussex stepped out in meticulously put-together outfits – wearing a mix of time-honoured as well as brand new pieces from her ever-expanding wardrobe.

This year, Meghan, 43, was spotted in never-before-seen clothing and jewellery items totalling a staggering £102,989 – an increase of nearly £20,000 from her 2023 total of £86,612.

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.

However, since the couple became financially independent, it is not clear who is picking up the bill for Meghan’s clothes, whether she pays full price or receives discounts from designers.

This year, the Duchess debuted two new Logan Hollowell diamond necklace – estimated to be worth over £35,000 in total – as well as new pieces from Colombian designer Johanna Ortiz that stole the show during her viit to the south American nation earlier this year.

Meanwhile, she rewore her trusty Cartier Love Bracelet as well as Princess Diana’s Cartier Tank Francaise wristwatch multiple times, with Meghan paying subtle tribute to the late Princess of Wales with her sartorial choices.

Here, FEMAIL calculates the value of Meghan’s wardrobe, only taking into account the cost of items once and not counting recycled pieces.
