Prince Charles Follows In Meghan Markle’s Footsteps With Fashion Line

She may not be an active working royal any longer, but Meghan Markle’s influence still seems to be taking a hold of the Royal Family—with her father-in-law, Prince Charles, following in her footsteps and starting a fashion line.

The 71-year-old royal, who is next in line for the throne, unveiled a sustainable fashion line collaboration with Italian group Yoox Net-A-Porter this week, which features eight pieces of clothing for men and ten for women, and comes after he discussed the line with British Vogue editor Edward Enninful and discussed how he preferred to keep items in his wardrobe for longer periods of time versus replacing them.

“Well, I'm one of those people who hate throwing anything away,” he said. “Hence, I’d rather have them maintained, even patched if necessary, than to abandon them.”

While the collection is meant to be sustainable, it does have a higher price tag. According to the Sun, the Menswear line ranges in price from a Cable-Knit rollneck sweater for £510 ($669) and Ribbed Cashmere Cardigan for £560 ($734), to a Merino Wool Blend Coat for £1095 ($1436) and a Padded Cashmere Bomber Jacket for £1250 ($1640). Meanwhile, the women's’ line ranges from £395 ($518) for a Cable-Knit Cashmere Turtleneck Sweater, Checked Cashmere Wide-Leg Pants and a Double-Breasted Herringbone Cashmere Jumpsuit for £895 ($1174) and a Belted Double-Breasted Merino Wool Camel Coat for £1295 ($1699).

His line comes just over one year after his daughter-in-law, The Duchess of Sussex, launched her own fashion capsule collection to benefit the Smart Works charity, where each piece purchased would result in an identical piece being donated to an unemployed woman with a job interview lined up. Those pieces however were seen as more budget-friendly and included a Crepe Shift Dress for $32.50, a tote bag for $138, and a shirt for $125.

While other members of the royal family haven’t released their own fashion lines, their impact on trends has been uncanny, with Markle and her sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, both seen as fashion icons. Both set new trends in wedding dress design with their dresses they wore to their weddings to Prince William and Prince Harry respectively, and have earned praise for what they choose to wear at different times—with Markle even praised for her more “accessible” approach to fashion prior to her wedding.
