The economic power of royal fashion

Netflix released the newest season of “The Crown” this weekend, featuring a fictionalized Princess Diana and some of her most iconic fashion moments. Royal fashion is also the subject of Elizabeth Holmes‘ new book “HRH: So Many Thoughts on Royal Style.” “Marketplace” host Kai Ryssdal spoke with Holmes about sartorial messaging and economic power of royal fashion. The following is an excerpt from the book.

Before she met Harry, Meghan was a humanitarian and gender-equality activist, traveling to India to destigmatize menstrual health as a global ambassador for World Vision, and speaking at the One Young World Summit as a counselor for the organization that supports young leaders. The royal platform, and its dedication to charity work, was a natural continuation of her work—and she dove right in. Meghan became a patron of four charities and vice president of the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust. Some of the projects I admired most benefited local British organizations while giving her fans around the world a chance to participate, too. Her embrace of the Muslim women at the Hubb Community Kitchen, started in the wake of the 2017 Grenfell Tower fire, led to Together: Our Community Cookbook, a New York Times bestseller. She became patron of Smart Works, which helps outfit women in the U.K. for job interviews, and pulled together four brands to launch a capsule collection of wardrobe staples. For every piece a shopper bought from the collection, one was donated to Smart Works; within just eight days, the effort supplied the charity with a year’s worth of clothes. Meghan also guest-edited the September 2019 issue of British Vogue, the fastest-selling in its history. “This issue is about the power of the collective,” Meghan wrote in her editor’s letter. “You will find that spirit of inclusivity on the cover: diverse portraiture of women of varying age, colour, creed, nationality and life experience, and of unquestionable inspiration.”
