The Meghan Markle Effect Takes Hold…

If there’s anything we learned in 2018, it’s that Meghan Markle sells. The aquamarine cocktail ring, a gift from Prince Harry, from Princess Diana’s jewelry collection, she wore to her wedding reception? It caused searches for aquamarine rings to spike on eBay immediately after the royal wedding, and for more than 114,000 to be sold throughout the year. The time she went on an official tour of Australia and wore various trench coats throughout? Trench coat sales on the platform went up 44 percent month-over-month soon after. Most of the times, when Markle has worn an item from a brand that’s been readily available for purchase, it’s sold out shortly after being identified by the fashion blogs that track her every sartorial move. The Meghan Markle Effect was already felt when she announced her engagement to Prince Harry in November 2017, and it’s only grown stronger since she’s become the Duchess of Sussex.
