BLUE-MING GORGEOUS

Here’s where to get a copy of Meghan Markle’s royal blue designer coat… for £640 less

There are some amazing dupes on the high street

WHENEVER Meghan Markle heads out, she sparks a shopping frenzy.

The 37-year-old wore a royal blue coat to the launch of the Grenfell charity cookbook yesterday - and now we're desperate to get one in our wardrobes.

While Meghan's coat is undeniably gorgeous, it's a little on the expensive side.

It's by Canadian label Smythe, and comes in at an eye-watering $1,195 (£701.66).

To add to our fashion woes, we'd have to wait a good few months before we'd be able to get our hands on it.

It's not shipping until December, although it is available to pre-order.

Thankfully, there are some brilliant dupes on the high street.

If you want to get Meghan's look for a bargain price, head to Marks & Spencer.

The reliable high street favourite has a chic piece in almost exactly the same shade.

It's available in sizes in 6-24, and costs just £59 - meaning you'd be saving a whopping £642.66.

Topshop's version has a similar cut to Meghan's, with the hemline reaching down below the knee.

It's £79, and available in sizes 4-18.

The subtle buttons and detailing around the wrists give it a dressier feel, and it comes with a matching belt to cinch in the waist.

 We love the cut of Topshop's chic crepe coat

Right, we've got the coat.

Now we just need a Prince Harry...

A body language expert has revealed that "shy" Prince Harry is "intimidated" by "power couple" Doria Ragland and Meghan Markle.

Prince Harry gazed lovingly at wife Meghan Markle at the launch - and royal fans "couldn't handle it".

This is the tender moment Prince Harry flattened down Meghan Markle's hair as it blew in the wind.
