Marks and Spencer had a helping hand from a Royal customer after one of its jumpers worn by Meghan Markle sold out online.
The actress wore the black Autograph bell-sleeved top on her second official engagement with Prince Harry in Brixton, south London, on Tuesday.
The pair were greeted by enthusiastic well-wishers as they visited youth-orientated radio station Reprezent FM.
Meghan's choice of an affordable off-the-shelf jumper was in stark contrast to the £56,000 couture dress worn for her official engagement portraits with the prince.
M&S said it sold out on its website within 40 minutes of being confirmed as one of its products.
It was back in stock on the website on Thursday and was also in stores.
The item was part of the retailer's spring range - launched earlier this month - so was too late to help deliver a boost to Christmas trading.
M&S reported a 2.8% fall in like-for-like sales at its clothing and homeware division over the 13 weeks to 30 December.
