Find Me A Gift then broke down the research to see how many gifts each royal lady received, and how much their total worth was:
| Royal | Number of gifts | Total value of gifts (£) |
| Princess Diana | 3 | 235,600 |
| Kate Middleton | 7 | 101,640 |
| Meghan Markle | 3 | 79,245 |
| The Queen | 2 | 56,400 |
Shaun Powell said:
“It’s clear to see who is the most popular daughter-in-law amongst the royal family. Kate not only received gifts from her husband Prince William, but also The Queen and Prince Phillip. Princess Diana received a tiara from the queen as a wedding gift, worth £215,000, along with an heirloom emerald necklace. Meghan hasn’t received any jewellery gifts from the Queen to date, which is very telling. Having recently been named Most Influential Couple in Time Magazine, after their abrupt exit from royal duties, Meghan and Harry will seemingly continue to distance themselves from the royals.”
