Meghan Markle has launched an Instagram shop selling some of her favourite clothing and jewellery items.
In what is shaping up to be a potentially lucrative commercial tie-up with her Netflix series, the Duchess of Sussex shared a links to her “ShopMy Closet” page on her Instagram stories.
A disclaimer on the website reads: “Please note, some products may contain commissionable links.”
On the website are some of Meghan’s most recognisable white button-down shirts, dress pants, and jewellery, allowing fans to dress just like her.
In the description of her ShopMy page, she wrote: “A hand-picked and curated collection of the things I love — I hope you enjoy them!”
The items include an oversized white shirt from Reformation that retails for $300, as well as Heidi Merrick’s pricey Windsor gown, which will set fans back around $2,200.
For those looking to replicate Meghan’s jewels, a Maya Brenner necklace called ‘The Happiness Retreat’ costs nearly $800.
It came as a new photo of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet revealed the young royals are the spitting image of their dad.
Meghan took to Instagram to share the heartwarming photo, which shows her cradling three-year-old Lilibet while Archie, five, clings to her leg.
While the children with their beautiful red hair quite obviously look like Prince Harry, it seems the youngsters take after their mother too given the setting of the photograph.
The picture shows the happy trio rambling around in the backyard clutching a basket to gather fresh produce.
And little Lilibet seems to have inherited her fashion sense from her famous mother, with the pair sporting matching straw hats.
The happy snap – which strongly echoes the image of homegrown elegance portrayed in the Duchess’ new Netflix series With Love, Meghan – was accompanied by a touching caption.
“Every day is a love story,” Meghan wrote.
NEW BOOK CLAIMS MEGHAN HAS A MESSIAH COMPLEX
A royal author claims Meghan Markle desperately wanted to help the less fortunate but misunderstood how she should be going about it.
Royal author Tom Quinn says he interviewed hundreds of current and former palace aides for his newest title: Yes Ma’am: The Secret Life of Royal Servants.
Mr Quinn told Fox News staff referred to Meghan’s attitude as a “messiah complex”.
“I think what they meant was that, as a working royal, she could save all the people whose lives were difficult. She could help with all sorts of problems, including poverty,” Mr Quinn said.
“She had this sense that came from a very good motivation that she could change the world for the better. But the aides saw her ideas of doing good as completely out of proportion to what she actually could do.
“They felt she had these grand ideas, but there was no way a single person could do what she wanted to do.”
Mr Quinn said the aides believed Meghan was trying to become like another woman who once married into the family.
“There was also a suspicion that Meghan was trying to be more like William and Harry’s mother, Princess Diana, that she was trying to do the same thing,” Mr Quinn said.
“And I think there was irritation that her sense of importance would reflect badly on the royal family.”
One aide even overheard Meghan say as much outright, according to the book.
“She once said, ‘What Diana started I want to finish,’ and we took that to mean she wanted to become a sort of globetrotting champion of the poor and the marginalised,” an anonymous quote in the book reads.
Mr Quinn said while Meghan’s intentions may have been pure, her execution needed work.
“She didn’t understand that when you join the royal family, you don’t do as you please, you do as you’re told. In a sense, you become a servant of the family,” he said.
The revelation came as the Duchess took to her Instagram stories with a sweet nod to Prince Harry.
“Flying into the week with my family! Thanks to my H for capturing this,” Meghan wrote using her pet name for her husband on top of a video of a flock of birds.
FANS THINK GWENYTH PALTROW IS TROLLING MEGHAN
Gwyneth Paltrow has been accused of mocking Meghan Markle’s Netflix series by posting a clip showing herself cooking breakfast in her pyjamas.
The video, posted on Instagram, shows Paltrow drinking coffee and playing with her dog before frying eggs in a pan.
“My cleaner take on a classic breakfast: gluten-free buttermilk biscuits, not-so-perfectly cooked over-easy eggs, and crispy bacon #boyfriendbreakfast,” Paltrow captioned the post.
Notable similarities to Meghan’s series, With Love, Meghan, include the presence of a dog, a monogrammed mug, and the use of the song This Will Be (An Everlasting Love) by Natalie Cole.
Both women reside in the celebrity haven of Montecito and it has long been speculated that Meghan is attempting to turn herself into a lifestyle guru, similar to the image that Goop founder Paltrow projects.
One fan pointed out on Instagram that Oscar winner Paltrow had actually filmed the clip in her real-life home kitchen, unlike Meghan, whose show was shot at a rented property.
“Gwyneth Paltrow continues to throw shade & I’m here for it! No makeup in her actual kitchen!” the fan commented.
Another fan hailed Paltrow’s authenticity and lack of “fake friends”.
“Love this. No fake house, fake kitchen, fake hair extensions, fake friends just your beautiful true self. Such a breath of fresh air to see,” the fans said.
Another said Paltrow should “pop by Meghan’s place to show her how it’s done”.
Earlier this month, Paltrow spoke about Meghan ’s series in her Vanity Fair April 2025 cover story, noting that she had not seen the trailer for With Love, Meghan.
“Everybody deserves an attempt at everything that they want to try,” Paltrow told Vanity Fair.
Paltrow said she had a “strong instinct to stand up for” Meghan, as she does whenever there is “noise about certain women in the culture”.
MEGHAN ‘SLIGHTLY ADRIFT ON REALITY’: VANITY FAIR EDITOR
Former Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter described Meghan as “slightly adrift on the facts and reality”.
The publishing powerhouse, who has written a new memoir, When the Going Gets Good, opened up about Meghan’s famous ‘Wild about Harry’ Vanity Fair cover 2017, which was one of his final covers before he stepped down.
Carter told the New York Post how he was unaware who Meghan was when she was booked for the interview.
The then TV actor was in the early days of her relationship with Prince Harry.
“Jane Sarkin, who booked our covers, came in and said, ‘We should do a cover on Meghan Markle,’” Carter told the Post.
“I said, ‘I have no idea who that is.’ She said, ‘She’s on ‘Suits.’ I said, ‘I have no idea what that is, why should we do a story on her?’
“So she said, ‘Because she’s going to marry Prince Harry.’”
Carter told the Post how at one point during her Vanity Fair interview, Meghan challenged the reporter: “Excuse me, Is this going to all be about Prince Harry? Because I thought we were going to be talking about my charities and my philanthropy.”
Referring to Meghan, Carter told the Post: “This woman is slightly adrift on the facts and reality.”
