However, one fashion blogger, Sharon Joan, has found a way to dress just like Markle — apparently, all you need is eBay and a little creative flair.
It’s doubtful the average person can afford the pricier pieces from Markle, but for a fraction of the price one inventive fan, Sharon Joan, has found a way to mimic her looks.
Joan, 37, began her Instagram account, @royally inspired, to help other fans of Markle and Kate Middleton find designer outfits worn by the duchesses or at least close replicas.
This is Sharon Joan, the voice behind Instagram account @royally inspired. She serves as a New York City Finance Director by day. She scoured the internet and department store sale racks by night to find a royal look …
Such as this $790 Mackage dress, that Meghan Markle wore with Prince Harry in Nottingham for her first-ever royal walkabout. While the coat was initially retailed at Bloomingdales for $790, Joan received the same coat for $632 on sale.
The blogger also got his hands on this J Crew Field Jacket, another item Markle wore in Morocco during her time. The Jacket cost J Crew $198 — but Joan found Poshmark’s second-hand for just $60.
It has been under a year since she launched her Instagram account, but Joan has already become a favorite member of the royal fashion community.

“Another trick is trying to re-create the look you like using similar items with lower prices,” Joan said. “It’s really fun to do this because it calls for some imagination and gives you a target for shopping to strive for.”
During her visit to the Chelsea Flower Show with her children, Middleton was recently spotted wearing this 129 $floral dress.
Joan was one of the lucky few who got her hands on designing the & Other Stories before it sold out online.
“If you’re interested in replicating but aren’t sure where to start, or don’t want to invest a lot of money in it, you can find a lot of good accessories on Amazon,” she explained.
“Amazon has a large collection of jewelry that closely resembles royal pieces, and you can purchase a fun pair of earrings or an engagement ring inspired by the Duchess of Cambridge without spending much time.”
“If you love royal watching and want to bring some of their glam into your life, there are discreet and low-cost ways to do it.”
