The Duchess of Sussex’s status as one of the world’s biggest influencers has been cemented by statistics from global fashion search platform Lyst. Meghan Markle’s varied looks always spark an increase in consumer searches for similar fashion, so on her 40th birthday, we’ve rounded up her all-time best looks.
Since becoming the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle has ushered in a new wave of minimalist modernity to the British royal family’s style.
