Meghan's capsule collection items being sold on eBay for triple the price

In the 24 hours since the Duchess of Sussex launched her capsule collection, The Smart Set, there are already three items sold out.

But it seems some people are trying to cash in on the Meghan Markle effect, with some items from the range making their way on eBay.

The online auction site has some products going for triple their retail value, as fans try to grab a piece from the range, created for the Duchess's charity Smart Works.

The Marks and Spencer shift dress, which is being sold for $35 (£19.50) in store, is being sold for around $90 (£50) plus postage and handling on eBay.

The dress is almost sold out entirely in the "long" silhouette.

Even the jacket and trousers from Jigsaw have appeared on eBay, despite still being in stock on the retailer's website.

Meanwhile, the classic leather tote from the collection is appearing on eBay for as much as $625 (£345) - over three times it's original price of $195 (£109).

The tan and black leather handbags both sold out within hours of being made available online by John Lewis - and all before the official launch by the Duchess.

At the end of her speech, Meghan requested the company to extend it's production in light of it's success.

"I found out as we were in the car on the way here was that the tote had already sold out online. So that's great," the Royal began.

"So my hope is that for any of the brands, if you do you have that level of success that you are seeing really early on, to hopefully amplify what you've been able to already be so generous in doing with your contribution and extend it for just a little bit more so that everyone can play a part in the shared success story."

The Smart Set capsule collection is being sold on a "one to one" basis, with each of the UK retailers donating one item for every item sold in the next two weeks.

"I think what's been really amazing is to know that these women will now be equipped in a project that will just be a couple of weeks but will give us enough units to be able to have the woman at Smart Works have these key essentials for a year," Meghan said in her speech.
