This is how much Meghan Markle's Australian tour wardrobe cost
The Royal family clothing budget is no joke, as the Duchess of Cornwall, the Duchess of Sussex and the rest of the gang need to always look on point for official engagements.
Earlier this year, it was reported that Meghan Markle's wardrobe was worth around £750,000. And now that her first official tour has come to an end, experts have tallied the cost of her Australian wardrobe.
For the 16-day tour of Australia, Fiji and New Zealand, the Duchess mixed in new pieces for existing ones, and according to Hello! Fashion, the total cost amounted to around £117k.
New dresses, including ones by local designers such as Maggie Marilyn and Martin Grant, as well as some by Reformation, Self Portrait and Figue, came to almost £65k, whilst re-worn items came to just over £52k.
Meanwhile, accessories by the likes of Prada, Dior and Gucci, and jewellery made up the rest - though some diamond pieces were more difficult to cost up.
She wore over 40 outfits, and the most expensive one was probably the Oscar de la Renta gown she wore to the Australian Geographic Awards at the Shangri-La hotel in Sydney, which cost £10,000.
