The report found Meghan improves the desirability by 35 per cent, with Harry increasing a brand’s prospects by 32 per cent.

Commenting on the report, Alex Haigh, director of Brand Finance, said: “The monarchy is one of the most defining features of Brand Britain and the royal impact on the desirability of British luxury brands cannot be overstated.
