Meghan Markle’s sparkle sets the stage for must-have fashion items

Those close to power have sometimes been luminaries in the world of fashion too. Meghan Markle’s new it-bag is the latest in a long line of must-have fashion accessories first worn by the rich and famous, says Robert Hume.

The bordeaux leather bag – all £495 of it – with its peacock-blue fold and vanilla straps – sported by Prince Harry’s fiancée two Fridays ago in Nottingham, sold out within eleven minutes on the manufacturer’s website.
