Meghan Markle's pregnancy wardrobe has been dazzling.

The Duchess of Sussex is due in late April and is believed to now be on maternity leave, having completed her final public royal outings earlier this month.

Right up until her last engagements, Markle, 37, maintained a busy schedule—and an eye-catching wardrobe along the way.

The cost of her maternity outfits worn at the 75 engagements she's attended during her pregnancy, are estimated to have cost £634,000 (AUD$ 1,183,255.50).

Speaking about royal wardrobe costs, royal expert Victoria Arbiter told Global News the Duchess wouldn’t have had to pay for her fashion choices out of her own pocket.

Instead, the Royal Family wears the cost.

"Prince Charles pays for the wardrobe of he and Camilla, as well as William, Kate, Harry and Meghan,” Arbiter explained.
