The 'Meghan effect' is real. When Meghan Markle appeared alongside Prince Harry for their official engagement photocall yesterday, it was inevitable that her chosen outfit would cause a fashion frenzy.

The elegant, understated opal studs were courtesy of another Canadian label, jewellery brand Birks, and are currently available to buy online at Goldsmiths. They'd make the perfect Christmas present for a royalist (or a any jewellery fan, for that matter).
