Meghan doesn’t get stealth wealth
The series Succession purportedly lifted the lid on how the 0.000042% (2021 figures) of the world really live. It introduced the concept of ‘stealth wealth’ dressing - quiet, well-bred clothes conspicuous only by their classic lines, muted colours, and luxurious fabrics.

You could slide it across the floor after a bank job.’ Because the rich don’t have to carry stuff: Guardian archived / unarchived
