Unlikely royal splashes out the most on clothes and it's not Kate or Meghan

If there's one thing that royal fans have obsessed over for decades, it's the fashion choices of female members of the monarchy. From high-fashion custom gowns at glitzy state events and smart business casual looks at charitable engagements, all the way to down-to-earth outfits that they opt for when they're taking part in an activity that requires like being a little bit more hands-on or informal - whatever the royal women wear always grabs a lot of attention.
While Princess Kate and Meghan Markle are probably the most high-profile fashion icons in the current generation of royal women, there was one member of the Royal Family who reportedly outspent them last year when it came to their looks - Duchess Sophie of Edinburgh.
The Mail Online reports that Duchess Sophie, 60, "spent" £135,863 on her fashion choices in the last year, the most out of any of the British royals, and fourth of the royal women worldwide. Sophie - the wife of Prince Edward, 60, and mother of Lady Louise Windsor, 21, and James, Earl of Wessex, 17 - has long been known for her chic and timeless looks, and this has only elevated since King Charles bestowed the title of Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh on her and Edward in 2023. Some commentators and royal fans have noted that it even seems like Sophie has been inspired by some of Kate's stand-out looks.
