Who’s the Bigger Style Icon Between Meghan and Kate? This Research Has Declared a Clear Winner

Ever since becoming part of the royal family, the former actress Meghan Markle has been gaining more and more attention from the international community. Just recently, the Dutchess made headlines after giving birth to her first-born son, Baby Archie.
Aside from the controversies surrounding her relationship with sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, most royal fans look forward to seeing the Duchess back in the public eye. Who wouldn’t want to see the 37-year-old beauty in her gorgeous outfits once again?
True enough, this popular fashion platform just hailed Meghan as the top royal influencer in the fashion industry, the title that had previously belonged to Kate Middleton.
The Survey
According to the global fashion platform, Lyst, Meghan Markle beats Kate Middleton when it comes to fashion search queries on the website.
For the past two years, Lyst has analyzed a staggering 20 million search queries from different fashion platforms to determine which member of the British Royal family influences the public to buy and wear their outfits after a public appearance. Research shows most royal fans are keen on recreating Meghan and Kate’s wardrobe nowadays.
The analysis showed a 119% increase in search queries for Kate Middleton’s outfits and wardrobe choices. However, Meghan Markle’s popularity in comparison to her sister-in-law has soared by 216%, effectively beating Kate Middleton and snagging the top spot as the most influential fashion royal in the British Monarchy.

The company further adds the increase in Meghan’s wardrobe search queries increased sometime in March. Meghan attended Prince Charles’ Investiture wearing a stunning gold and silver brocade dress.
