Meghan Markle's lavish wardrobe during the Invictus Games got people talking and has been deemed as a "calculated move" to put Prince Harry into the spotlight, according to a royal expert.The Duchess of Sussex reportedly wore a jaw dropping £300k worth of outfits over the course of six days at the event in Germany last week.The 42-year-old opted for rather subtle coloured outfits each day, rather than wearing bright clothes, and her wardrobe expenses were hugely ramped by her choice of luxurious accessories, the Express reports.

Daniela Elser, a royal expert wrote for news.com.au: “The Duchess of Sussex, in taking her wardrobe off the table story-wise this week, would seem to be trying to ensure that the spotlight and attention remains on the Games and her thinning-haired other half, Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex.

No limelight stealing here, no siree! “Thus carry the two, subtract one and you get Meghan wearing the blandest clothing I have ever witnessed on Getty Images to the Invictus Games.“Consider this the Duchess of Sussex’s best attempt to fade into the background while Harry struggles to wipe the joyful smile off his face as he excitedly hugs his way around the Games.”Some of the outfits the former Suits actress wore saw her amass a total outfit spend of over £267k on her first day alone in Dusseldorf on September 12.The pricey total was racked up by items including a £961.14 Rayures d’Ete shawl from Hermes, a £2,122.65 Goyard 'St.

Louis PM' tote bag, a £20,824.70 Cartier yellow gold Tank Francaise watch and her £140,000 Welsh gold wedding band.The duchess is known for her love of designer brands which she also showcased with her Chanel and Givenchy outfits.
