Everyone is desperate to get their hands on a pair of Meghan's flats for one very important reason
From Princess Eugenie's wedding to Meghan Markle's pregnancy announcement - and even a newborn for Kate's sister, Pippa Middleton - it's been quite the week for the royal family.
But after a smattering of exciting announcements, babies and weddings, it's business as usual for the UK's most famous family.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are currently on a tour of Australia and, naturally, Meghan has already been showcasing some serious sartorial prowess.
Aside from her figure-skimming white dress and tweed blazer designed by pal, Serena Williams, it's Meghan's most recent choice of footwear that's had shoppers in a frenzy.
Eagle-eyed royal fans noticed that Meghan slipped into a pair of flat shoes for the first time ever (shock horror!) and as always, people were desperate to get their hands on them.
The shoes in question are designed by US brand, Rothy's, and, as FEMAIL reports, have more to them than meets the eye.
The single reason the £109 simple black flats are so coveted is because they're made from recycled bottles.
"Our modern pointed toe flat gives instant polish to any outfit. Wear this classic black with every outfit in your closet. The colour is black with signature blue halo and black outsole. Fits true to size. There is no break-in period with our shoes," reads the product's description.
The brand was founded by Stephen and Roth who saw a gap in the market for sustainable shoes and they've officially got the royal seal of approval!

@cbstv/InstagramWhile there was no doubt a lot to discuss when the first trailer for Meghan and Harry's groundbreaking interview with Oprah dropped, the more sartorially-minded critics had their eyes firmly on that beautiful black, £3,300 belted silk dress by Armani. Decorated with a lotus flower across the shoulder - which is a revered symbol in Hinduism of purity, enlightenment, self-regeneration and rebirth - many wondered whether the choice was a deliberate nod to the couple's new outlook on life having stepped down from the Royal Family.

The necklace is reportedly by Jennifer Meyer and costs £278 - a price tag that won't break the bank (hallelujah!).

Meghan celebrated her 37th birthday as Prince Harry's date for his best friend's wedding. Donning a black Club Monaco dress and Philip Treacy hat, Meghan was the epitome of chic. However, the trolls were out in force (as per usual) and rushed to comment on the fact that Meghan's bra was ever so slightly on show. Have they really got nothing better to talk about? We think she nailed the wedding guest look and hope she enjoyed her first birthday as a royal.
