Meghan wore Aquazurra Very Mathilde Suede Crisscross Pumps for the announcement of her engagement to Prince Harry in 2017.

Almost one in ten acknowledge Kate for her style credentials, as she closely missed the top spot of the best fashion icon to Holly Willoughby.
Co-Founder of Love The Sales, Stuart McClure said: ‘The Twentyteens have seen enormous upheaval in the fashion industry.
Austerity at the start of the decade had people hunting designer fashion for a fairer price. The advance of 4G allowed mobile retail to flourish and people can now quickly grab bargains on the go while emulating the looks of their fashion icons.
‘It’s no surprise the queen of daytime TV Holly Willoughby and the new wave of young royals like HRH The Duchess of Cambridge and HRH The Duchess of Sussex have influenced our style choices.
The young royals are now more accessible than ever – they support British designers and champion UK high street brands.’
