The 4 Most Googled Items Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle Have Worn
To say that people are interested in royal fashion would be a giant understatement. You're probably well acquainted with Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle's ability to make any item they wear sell out, but as it turns out, there's particular interest in four different categories of items they own. Analytics company SEMRush crunched the numbers and discovered the top four most-searched-for categories, and the results are certainly illuminating.
As much as we love Meghan Markle's bag collection or Kate Middleton's skinny jeans, neither of these items made the list. As it turns out, people are obsessed with searching for Middleton and Markle's shoes in particular—and who could blame them? Both royals own a slew of styles that run the gamut from designer heels to affordable sneakers. Scroll down to find out the other three fashion categories that people search for.
Shoes
While there's definitely interest in royals' handbags, people are searching for Middleton's and Markle's shoes more than any other accessory, according to SEMRush's data. Luckily for us, even duchesses own $65 sneakers and $130 espadrilles.
On Meghan Markle: Sentaler coat; Gabriela Hearst bag; Stuart Weitzman The Leigh 95 Pumps ($398)
On Kate Middleton: Sandro top; L.K.Bennett pants; Superga sneakers
Dresses
Given that both duchesses wear dresses more often than jeans and pants, it's no surprise that people are turning to Google to find out more information about the pieces they're wearing. We're quite partial to Markle's J.Crew dress and Middleton's Michael Michael Kors frock.

Tiaras
Did you know that Middleton has only worn a tiara a handful of times, including at her 2011 wedding? As for Markle, she has only worn a tiara at her 2018 wedding, but we're waiting with bated breath to see if she'll wear one again.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
