"Mirror mirror, tell me who has the most beautiful wardrobe?"
Like every year, Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle have seen their fashion budget studied with a fine-tooth comb.
According to a
Daily Mail
survey , published on December 28, the prize for the most expensive British royal personality in 2022 goes to … the Princess of Wales.

The British tabloid reveals that Prince William's wife spent 176,664 pounds (199,312 euros) at the expense of the princess (the king, to be exact) to expand her wardrobe.
This is 65,000 euros more than in 2017, the year that held its record to date.
In particular, expensive jewelry and designer pieces, like her Roland Mouret Bardot collar dress estimated at 2,000 pounds (2,260 euros).

On the other side of the Atlantic, Prince Harry's wife spent "only" 78,993 pounds (89,119 euros) for her toilet.
Far from the 238,832 euros invested in 2019, when his locker room was still supported by the Crown.
The eternal competition
Since her arrival in the british royal family, Meghan Markle has not ceased to be compared to her sister-in-law Kate Middleton.
From their same midnight blue lace dress by Diane von Furstenberg to their wardrobe during official trips, passing through the budget dedicated to their wedding outfit... Everything has been scrutinized by the
fashion police
of the tabloids.
On May 19, 2018, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle said yes for life.
And although it was the American actress who herself paid for her Givenchy dress worth 345,000 euros, the media did not fail, at the time, to note that the creation cost 60,000 euros more than that worn by Kate Middleton during her marriage to Prince William in 2011. Ten years have passed since then, Meghan Markle went into exile with Prince Harry in California and Kate Middleton became Princess of Wales.
A title that exposes him to more official appearances.
The explanation, perhaps, of this new budget increase.
