The Duchess of Sussex is back in the spotlight with her new Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, and once again, we're obsessed with everything she wears, cooks and creates. Love her or not, you can't deny she has enviable style. She perfectly embodies that old-money, stealth-wealth aesthetic and makes it look effortless.

While you probably can't marry a prince like Markle did, you can absolutely steal some of her other royal finds — and without breaking the bank! She managed to find an actually-chic pair of Crocs clogs that are totally fit for a princess, plus her favorite luxury candle is surprisingly affordable. You'll find more of her best fashion, beauty and home picks — all under $100 — below.

Stylish and Crocs in the same sentence? Believe it! When we spotted Markle wearing these leather-like mules on her new show, we immediately recognized them as the Dylan design.

Like the Duchess, more than 1,300 Amazon shoppers approve of these comfy and lightweight slides. People who've purchased them say they're supportive and more versatile than the brand's traditional clog styles. 

"Bought for garden shoes. Became everyday shoes," said this smitten shopper. "I never dreamed that I’d be a Crocs fan, but here I am.... The camel color goes with everything, and the ability to just slip them on and go, socks or no socks, has turned them into something I wear far more than I ever expected. I appreciate how easy they are to wash off after getting muddy, and they are quick to dry. I will definitely buy these again."

Markle has been spotted in these sporty, classic Adidas kicks numerous times over the years and it’s easy to see why she wears them often. The iconic shoes have been popular since the '70s when they were worn on the court by their namesake, US tennis champion Stan Smith. They have a super soft leather upper, a durable rubber outsole and a supportive "Ortholite" footbed for added comfort. Super versatile, they can be dressed up with a cute skirt or dressed down with jeans, leggings or sweats.

Another commented, "I wore these traveling and found them to be good airport shoes (easy on and off through check points). They have some weight to them from the leather which took some getting used to. But, overall they look great and were very comfortable. I wore them with thin compression socks (to fly) and then with thin non-socks and both worked very well."

The leggings Markle reaches for when heading to a yoga workout? Under Armour. This must-own black pair gets 4.5 out of 5 stars from shoppers who appreciate that the waistband that stays in place and the handy side pocket.

"The fit is awesome!" one exercise enthusiast wrote. "I love these leggings! I mean they are so comfy [and] supportive. I can wear these with confidence playing tennis and pickleball. I love how they feel and you can tell they are high quality as there is great stitching, solid waistline, and no snags or imperfect seams."

"Perfection!" added another fan. "I’ve worn this specific brand and style of leggings for over 3 years and I love them! [They are] very stretchy but still sit high at the waist and don’t fall down! Quality is great for leggings."

Markle has been wearing affordable Le Specs frames since 2019. The brand's designs are all under $100 and available at Amazon where shoppers give them positive reviews. Choose from dramatic cat-eye styles, flattering aviators or a classic round pick like the Fire Starter model shown here. 

"Best sunglasses!" one Amazon shopper raved. "I have been buying Le Specs for years, they are now the only brand I buy. I have purchased other expensive brands that didn't hold up. Le Specs come in a range of price points from moderate to more expensive and are well worth the price. Very sturdy and last. I only had to replace a pair after 5 years because I lost them."

"I have searched high and low and tried every kind of lip balm, but this is the very best... I swear by it," Markle has said about this bestselling lip balm. 

Though it's a splurge at nearly $30, others who swear by this product agree it's worth the investment. "Best lip balm ever," one person wrote. "I use lip balm all the time and have tried many brands. I saw this one in an online review of various brands. It's the best ever; lasts for hours, doesn't look thick or greasy, and smells nice. It's expensive, but I'm not reapplying it every hour so I'll use less."

Someone else chimed in, "This is a great lip balm, in a pretty container. This rivals Chanel's Lip balm, for sure. Well worth the price."

Eagle-eyed fragrance fans spotted a Diptyque candle in Markle's home back in 2020, and the brand confirmed Tuberose is the Duchess' preferred scent. Described as romantic and comforting, this candle won't just fill your home with pleasant aromas; it will make any table, nightstand or vanity more aesthetically pleasing.

Hundreds of Nordstrom shoppers have awarded this candle 5 stars. "Yes, they are expensive, but the fragrance from Diptyque candles is amazing. I have one lit most of the time and they are a natural scent, not an overpowering headache-inducing smell! Roses is definitely my favorite," one customer commented.

Markle has a thing for Mother Jeans; she's been wearing them for nearly seven years now.

Denim diehards probably know these jeans don't come cheap... unless you know where to nab them on sale. I like scoring them for less at Nordstrom Rack and Gilt. I'm currently eyeing this straight-leg silhouette in a nice light wash that will be perfect for spring and summer.

Markle offers her guests coffee on multiple episodes of With Love, Meghan, and it turns out her brewer of choice is the same French press coffee maker our senior home editor (and resident coffeemaker tester) has used for years. It's unfussy and reliable, and the coffee brews quickly, with full flavor.

Caffeinated Amazon customers also give this kitchen essential high marks. It's received more than 10,000 five-star reviews and one java junkie called it "the bomb."
