Since marrying Prince Harry, the Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle has wasted no time in spending big on her wardrobe.

According to The Sun, in just over eight weeks, Meghan has attended 16 different events requiring 16 outfits, including Royal Ascot and a tour of Ireland.

At each occasion, the Duchess chose a completely new look and once we started to tot it all up, the figure came in around the $285,000 mark.

While she has on occasion worn a bargain buy (think back to that £29.50 ($A52) M&S fascinator), in general Meghan has a penchant for designer items including Givenchy, Carolina Herrera, Oscar de la Renta and Chanel.
