Affordable Brands That Royals Like Meghan Markle & Kate Middleton Wear

Scouted The royal family has a remarkable influence on the retail (and secondhand) landscape. In fact, there are dozens of websites and blogs dedicated to discovering what brands Meghan Markle wears and paying homage to the late Princess Diana’s ever-enduring sartorial legacy. Naturally, it’s not uncommon for an item spotted on a stylish royal like Kate Middleton or Meghan Markle to sell out mere minutes after a photograph of them wearing a crowd-pleasing piece surfaces on social media or is published in the tabloids—especially when it’s relatively affordable for non-royal budgets. Try as you may, it’s usually tough to snag that exact look spotted on your favorite royal, whether that’s a chic DVF wrap dress, an under $500 Italian leather handbag, or a pair of cat-eye sunglasses, without having to scour resale sites like eBay and Poshmark and pay insane markup prices. When Meghan Markle recently announced her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, I found myself in an online shopping rabbit hole, perusing the internet for some of our wallet-friendly fashion favorites still available online. Surprisingly, quite a few royal-approved items are still in stock. Brands like Rothy’s, Barbour, and Staud still have items worn by royals that you can still buy without paying double the retail price on the secondhand market. If you’re looking to stock your wardrobe with royal-loved items that won’t break the bank, you’ve come to the right place.
