When Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton step out in, well, anything, we pay close attention to every outfit detail. But given our love for accessories (we know you love them too!), let's zero in on the bag silhouettes they reach for time and time again. In fact, their recent ensembles all feature It handbag trends we are dying to add to our weekly rotation. Ahead are three looks the Duchess of Sussex and Duchess of Cambridge both adore. Shop each so you too can carry on like a royal.
