Strathberry East/West Mini Bag in Bottle Green

Meghan Markle has carried Strathberry's chic leather bags quite a few times, but this chic green purse is one of our favorites—she chose to wear it during one of her first public engagements with Prince Harry, during an official trip to Edinburgh, before they tied the knot. $595, Strathberry.

Diptyque Tuberose Candle

Prince Harry and Meghan like to light Diptyque's Tuberose candles at their new Montecito home. Even if you can't get an invite to the Sussexes', you can still make your house smell just like theirs. $68, Diptyque Paris.

Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Very Victoria Lipstick

Meghan wore this exact lipstick on her wedding day, so even if a custom Givenchy gown is out of the question, your royal-adoring pal will still feel like a princess with this pretty lip color. $34, Charlotte Tilbury.

Ray Ban Wayfarer II Sunglasses

Kate Middleton loves Ray Ban sunglasses, and she's particularly partial to these classic tortoiseshell wayfarers, which she wore on three different days of matches at Wimbledon last year. The frame is so flattering. $204, Sunglass Hut.

Dyson Pure Hot + Cool Cryptomic

Buckingham Palace is filled with plenty of priceless antiques and classic furniture, but the royals have also added modern day luxuries to their regal dwellings. Queen Elizabeth, for one, uses the Dyson Pure Hot + Cool, which acts as an air purifier, heater and cooler, all in one sleek machine. The Queen's Dyson was spotted in the background of photos taken of the monarch at Buckingham Palace during the London heat wave last summer, and the pricey product is so worth it. We recommend upgrading to the fancy version, with the latest purifying technologies. $749.99, Dyson.

Away Bigger Carry-On in Asphalt

Meghan Markle is such a fan of Away that she reportedly gave everyone at her glitzy New York baby shower one of the brand's suitcases. She and Prince Harry often use the luggage, and were spotted carrying this exact style when they landed at a Canadian airport in February, after announcing their plans to step down from their senior royal roles. $245, Away.

Houbigant Paris Quelques Fleurs L'Original Vaporisateur Eau de Parfum

Princess Diana famously chose to wear this floral perfume (her signature scent) on her wedding day, and reportedly accidentally spilled a bit of the fragrance down her dress when the bottle came unscrewed, just before she walked down the aisle. $105, Nordstrom.

Jo Malone Orange Blossom Candle

Speaking of wedding days, Kate Middleton requested that a plethora of Jo Malone candles in Orange Blossom be burned inside Westminster Abbey when she married Prince William in 2011, so the entire church would smell of her favorite scent from the British brand. $69, Nordstrom.

Misha Nonoo Husband Shirt

Meghan often wears pieces from her pal Misha Nonoo's line, including this classic white button-down that the future Duchess donned when she attended the Invictus Games with Prince Harry back in 2017. The timeless white top is such a good gift, because it's so versatile. $185, Misha Nonoo.
