Since she married Prince Harry three years ago Meghan Markle has worn a parade of designer outfits from brands such as Dior, Givenchy, Prada and Chanel and an array of expensive accessories.
And despite quitting the royal family in March and moving to California, the Duchess has continued to showcase her love of a very pricey wardrobe.
This year, Meghan wore a wardrobe worth £58,388. It is £14,000 more than her 2020 total, when the Duchess wore clothing and jewellery worth £44,188.
This is despite the fact that the public have seen Meghan less this year compared to last, due to the fact she has no official royal duties and her maternity leave after giving birth to her daughter Lilibet in June.
The value of her wardrobe even surpassed Kate Middleton, whose 2021 outfits were valued at £48,000 in research carried out by FEMAIL.
While a working member of the royal family, the cost of Meghan's clothes for work engagements was covered by Prince Charles through the budget he gave the couple from the Duchy of Cornwall.
But after the couple said they wanted to be financially independent, it is not clear who is picking up the bill for Meghan's clothes, or whether the Duchess always pays full price for her clothing, or receives discounts from designers.
Here FEMAIL calculates the value of Meghan's wardrobe, only taking into account the cost of items once and not counting recycled pieces.
Her most expensive outfits came during her trip to New York in September alongside Prince Harry, when the royal wore a staggering amount of designer items.
On one occasion, as she stepped out to Global Live Citizen event - donning an outfit worth £8,537.
However the vaue of her 2021 clothing collection is also a drastic reduction on 2019, when her wardrobe was valued at more than £211,693.
