WHEN Meghan Markle joined the Royal family, her style seemed instantly accessible, with a wardrobe that mixed high end fashion with the affordable and sustainable - especially when it came to jewellery.
But the latest picture of the Duchess of Sussex - wearing £25,000 worth of gold - suggests she also has an eye for the blisteringly expensive.

Now I promise I won’t keep banging on about lockdown, but I did want to touch on how it has affected my shopping habits, for the better I think.
Like a lot of people, I used to be obsessed with Zara and ASOS hauls, rushing to buy the latest must-have item after spotting it on one of my favourite influencers on Instagram.
I would buy items every week, thinking nothing of it. After all, it was an affordable way to try a trend, and if I didn’t like it, then no biggie, I could just give it away or discard it when I’d inevitably get bored of it by the following year.
