Meghan Markle's £28,000 Outfit Recreated for Under £500 on the High Street

Meghan Markle recently made a public appearance in London for an afternoon tea with Nobel Peace laureate Malala Yousafzai at Claridge's hotel. The Duchess of Sussex, 45, was seen leaving the Mayfair establishment with Yousafzai, 29, sharing a warm embrace outside.

For the occasion, Markle wore a camel Tove Studio coat priced at £1,695. This was paired with a £630 wheat-colored cashmere sweater from the Los Angeles-based label CO and Ralph Lauren's 'lux cream' satin trousers, which retail for £1,700. Her accessories included a black Chanel handbag valued at approximately £7,000 and a canvas tote bag featuring a design of women in hijabs. Completing the look were £795 Saint Laurent 'Chris' loafers in ivory and tan, and Logan Hollowell's Lovers Duet Diamond and Emerald Chain necklace, estimated at £16,200.

The total cost of Markle's outfit exceeded £28,000. However, numerous high-street alternatives can be found to replicate the ensemble at a significantly lower price point, with some options available for under £500. Retailers such as M&S, John Lewis, and Karen Millen offer similar styles that allow for a more affordable recreation of Markle's chic autumnal look.
