The last year has been a whirlwind for Meghan Markle. A royal wedding, royal tours across the world and now the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are preparing to welcome their first born this spring. *Squeal*

It's been a fashion-filled year with the best coats, gowns, and of course, shoes! But ahead of baby Sussex arriving (who is due any day now!), we're reliving one fashion statement Meghan has conquered in the last year: hats!

From berets to caps to the always flattering fascinator, the Duchess of Sussex is now a royal expert at topwear.

The first time Meghan Markle rocked a fascinator was two years ago right after Prince Harry popped the question.  The newly-engaged couple attended Christmas Day church service with the royal family at the Church of St. Mary Magdalene. Her choice of topwear? A brown bespoke fascinator by Philip Treacy that perfectly matched her tan coat by Sentaler.
