On July 1, 2020, a new book, Royals at War, made some shocking claims about Meghan Markle's pregnancy style.
According to the book, Meghan's fashion choices during her pregnancy were not without controversy. Insiders reportedly gave her a stern telling-off for some of her outfits.
Despite the criticism, Meghan's pregnancy style was widely praised by fashion experts and well-wishers around the world. She opted for looks that showed off her beautiful growing bump, and she was glowing at every engagement she attended while waiting for little Archie to arrive.
However, Meghan's fashionable look didn't come cheap. Her maternity wardrobe, featuring 75 outfits, reportedly cost Sh48 million (£362,895). While there were a couple of high street items showcased, for the most part, Meghan's maternity wear was high-end - and had the price tag to match.
According to lovethesales.com, Meghan's top brands during her pregnancy have been Aquazzura, Givenchy, Stuart Weitzman, and Outland Denim. This figure is said to be seven times the amount the Duchess of Cambridge spent on her pregnancy wardrobe.
But it's believed that the tax-paying public do not foot Meghan and Kate's clothes bill. As well as having wealth in her own right, Meghan's wardrobe will also be paid for out of a privy income provided by Prince Charles' Duchy of Cornwall.
