If are unaware, I have a Royal Instagram account, @royalistloyalist. I started the account around the Royal Wedding because I have been a Royal fan for as long as I can remember. I had a picture of Prince William in my locker and my mom always had Princess Diana magazines around the house. You couldn’t have been conscious of fashion in the 1980s and not be aware of Princess Diana’s fashion and fashion impact.
I am also a history fan, British Royal history being my favorite. Therefore, I know a bunch of information, I truly had no idea how much I knew off the top of my head until I set out to do dedicated posts to cover topics about The Monarchy. {If you ever have questions or have a topic you want me to discuss or cover, DM, email or leave a comment on any photo on that account!}
When I asked on a recent Instagram story about questions about the Royal Family topics, I got an overwhelming amount of questions to do LIKEtoKNOW.it for Kate and Meghan’s style but on a budget.
If are unaware, LIKEtoKNOW.it makes it so you can easily shop Instagram images that are linked through the free app. It is easy to sign up, the app is free and this is where I do all of my shopping.
{I will do a post coming up on how to shop. It is really easy! Promise!}
If you don’t follow me {yet!} on @RoyalistLoyalist or don’t have LIKEtoKNOW.it {yet!} I wanted to include the links for Meghan’s pregngnay look from last week.
While her exact dress is indeed maternity, there are endless options of look alike dresses. Since Meghan’s style since becoming a royal is very posh {read: expensive}, I have made it a goal to keep all these Duchess looks for $200 and less.
Meghan’s Exact Look
Dress: HATCH ELIZA MATERNITY DRESS
I loved this brand when I was pregnant. They fancy themselves to work before, during and after pregnancy and I still have this STRIPED SHIRT in my closet. I love the super loose body, but the form fitting arms. Now, with no bump, the style is longer and boxiyer and looks great with leggings and sneakers.
Shoes: GIANVITO SUEDE AND PLEXI TRANSPARENT PUMPS
Meghan’s exact shoes are old and sold out, but there are lots of colors and color ways in the exact shoe, shop the PLEXI LEATHER PUMPS here.
Bag: VANITY BOX LEATHER TOTE
I feel in love with the quality of this line of bags my last time in London. Something that will for sure be in her closet forever.
Trench: COTTON-TWILL TRENCH COAT
I have an upcoming post all about the Duchess’ trench coat style. She must have a whole dedicated wardrobe {the British term for the American “closet”} with all her trenches. There are so many budget friendly options out there, even if you are a die hard Meghan Markle style fan, there is no reason to spend this money on a basic piece.
Maternity Black Dresses
Meghan’s Look for $200 and less
Dress:
There are so many great dresses with the look of this one of Meghan’s. Surprisingly, it takes some serious looking to find conversavtive dresses, with longer hemlines and shoulders covered. All of my selections are $200 and less, because, again, surprisingly converavtie black dresses can easily run you hundreds of dollars.

Love this look a like option for $38 VANITY BOX CLUTCH
