Chances are a royal’s outfit choices are usually on the higher end. But occasionally, they can be spotted in items that are a bit closer to the public’s budgets when they’re “off-duty.” Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle, in particular, have been known to sport a few items like casual sneakers to cult-favorite jeans that are easily accessible. And the latest royal tea that caught our attention is that the Duchess of Sussex wore a chic striped blouse from the well-loved brand, Anthropologie, during her latest appearance.

Earlier this week, Markle’s long-awaited podcast called Archetypes debuted on Spotify. It delves into the restrictive labels placed upon women in society, where she specifically discussed the double standards of “ambition” in her opening episode with her close celebrity friend Serena Williams as her first guest. Although we couldn’t see what exactly she wore during the insightful talk, we got a sneak peek of it. The Duchess was spotted in Anthropologie’s Maeve Tie-Neck Blouse in a promotional teaser for her new Spotify Original podcast series.

This maroon and white stripe blouse is a part of the Maeve Collection, where each design represents both beauty and strength. So it’s no surprise that Markle chose this empowering blouse for her debut podcast. On top of that, she has also been known to be a massive fan of stripe shirts. Markle simply left the pullover blouse tucked in with the tie loose during the video. However, the pussy-bow accent is the key feature that can be styled in a variety of ways for a vintage feminine fit.

This Anthropologie top retails for $120, but many reviewers say it’s a worthy addition to your closets. Several vouched that the Maeve Tie-Neck Blouse is great for any professional setting thanks to its refined and flattering appearance that elevates any piece. One reviewer dubbed it as the “perfect blouse for all your work looks.”

But if you’re looking for lookalike styles that are more affordable, then we’ve got you covered. Take a look below at similar striped blouses that would receive Meghan Markle’s approval too.

Marbury v. Madison, the case that established the courts' power to review the law, explained
When it comes to respecting the rulings of courts, President Donald Trump has been of two minds. If the decision goes his way, as it did when the Supreme Court ruled 11 months ago that his name should be on the ballot in Colorado, he hails it as a “BIG WIN FOR AMERICA.” Now, as president, he has been critical of federal judges who have moved to block some of his most contentious actions, such as his move to freeze federal spending.

Musk cuts based more on political ideology than real cost savings so far
The first phase of the rapid-fire effort by Tesla CEO Elon Musk and President Donald Trump to cut waste from government agencies appears driven more by an ideological assault on federal agencies long hated by conservatives than a good-faith effort to save taxpayer dollars, according to two veteran Republican budget experts. Since Trump's inauguration on January 20, Musk has dispatched members of his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to scrutinize sensitive personnel and payment information in government computer systems and led a successful drive to dismantle two agencies - one that provides a lifeline to the world's needy and another that protects Americans from unscrupulous lenders.

Trump doubles down on plan to empty Gaza. This is what he has said and what's at stake
Behind U.S. President Donald Trump’s vows to turn Gaza into a “Riviera of the Middle East” lies a plan to forcibly drive a population from its land, rights groups say, warning it could be a war crime under international law. Trump doubled down this week on his vows to empty Gaza permanently of its more than 2 million Palestinians, saying they would not be allowed to return and suggesting at one point he might force Egypt and Jordan to take them in by threatening to cut off U.S. aid. Whether it’s serious, a negotiating tactic or a distraction, Palestinians have roundly rejected the idea of leaving.

US Republicans find unity on taxes a heavy lift in Trump 'golden age'
Barely a month after predicting a new "golden age" under President Donald Trump, congressional Republicans are struggling to move forward on the president's tax-cut agenda, despite their control of both the Senate and House of Representatives. House and Senate Republicans are pursuing rival plans for enacting Trump's tax proposals, including an extension of the 2017 tax cuts that were the signature legislative accomplishment of his first presidential term, and key party members in both chambers claim they can largely ignore an estimated cost of more than $4 trillion. With only a 218-215 majority, House Republicans are split between lawmakers from Democratic states who want a bigger federal tax deduction for state and local tax payments, hardliners pushing offsetting spending cuts and centrists worried about the potential ill-effects of those cuts back home.

It has disbanded an effort to enforce sanctions against Russian oligarchs and fired veteran public corruption prosecutors who played a role in the department's two criminal cases against Trump during his years out of office.

Kremlin says unidentified Russian freed in US in exchange for Moscow's release of Marc Fogel
The Kremlin said Wednesday that a Russian citizen was freed in the United States in exchange for Moscow’s release of American Marc Fogel, but refused to identify them until they arrive in Russia. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that the unidentified individual would return to Russia “in the coming days,” and when they are on the Russian soil, their name would be revealed — unlike during past prisoner exchanges between Moscow and Washington, when Russians and Americans were released simultaneously and their identities were revealed right away.
