Our dear Meghan Markle still hasn't hit her one year anniversary of being a royal, but she isn't letting her newbie status or her pregnancy stop her from killing it in the fashion department. Even back when she was an actress, Meghan had an enviable style, and yes, that went for her shoe choices as well. She once walked many red carpets in high heels, but now the Duchess of Sussex is walking in a much different spotlight. While it's not an official rule or anything, it's still expected that the royal ladies where a pair of heels for their more formal and official engagements. So, for Meghan, that means she had to buy a lot more pairs of shoes.
Or well, since Prince Charles is footing the bill, the royal family had to spend some nice cash on Meghan's new wardrobe. Even though she didn't necessarily pay for her new kicks, the Duchess of Sussex definitely did an expert job at picking them out. Unlike her sister-in-law Kate Middleton, who goes for a more classic look, Meghan has experimented a little bit with the heels that she wears. Well, she's experimented as much as royal protocol will let her, but let's not underestimated what Meghan can get away with! From bold colors to jeweled straps, this duchess is letting us know that she's just getting started with developing her royal style.
We're going to see a lot more great things coming from this duchess, and a lot of them could be in the form of high heels. To give proper shoe appreciation to the duchess, here are 20 of Meghan's best pairs of high heels that she's worn to date.
