She's known as a style icon with very expensive taste and the Duchess of Sussex lived up to this reputation at the recent Invictus Games in Germany.

Over six days Meghan wore a range of designer outfits, luxury accessories and glittering jewellery that totalled almost £300 000 (R6,9 million).

The 42-year-old flew over from America to join her husband, Prince Harry (39), on the second day of the sporting event, which he started in 2014 for wounded and injured servicemen and -women.

While she opted for mainly minimalist looks in muted colours – black, white, beige and tan – she added a pop of colour on her final day in an elegant teal gown. Racking up most of her bill was her jewellery, which included Princess Diana’s Cartier watch.

Here are her top looks.

Look 1: Banana Republic

At the Friends at Home event she donned a black Banana Republic shirtdress worth £112 (R2 576) which she paired with a Bottega Veneta plaited skinny belt worth £157 (R3 700). But it was her accessories that spoke volumes.

Meghan added Kimai semi-hoop earrings with lab-grown diamonds worth £595 (R13 685).

She included Princess Diana’s £17 800 (R409 400) Cartier watch and a £50 000 (R1,1 million) Lorraine Schwartz emerald-cut diamond pinkie ring.
