You couldn’t beat the internet with this costume.
Duchess Meghan sparks controversy online after wearing a designer dress ironically named ‘Windsor’ About my recent trip to Nigeria.
Online sleuths didn’t miss the style name of the blush pink Heidi Merrick dress and its connection to the British royal family, which Markle, 42, and her husband Prince Harry, 39, infamously left in 2020.
Some wondered if this was a subtle homage to the Windsors, while others saw it as an insult.
“But just as they are trying to completely erase the Windsors from their lives, here comes the Sussexes wearing a dress called ‘The Windsors’, haha!!” one person said. I commented on X.
“Ended cynically. Definitely,” said another royal supporter Added.
‘Meghan Markle is desperate to be associated with the Windsor name’ I wrote something else.
“Her strategic marriage and subsequent non-strategic actions backfired, just as the dress with her name gives her the legitimacy that continues to elude her!”
Some chalk up the Duchess of Sussex’s ensemble to just a coincidence.
“Honestly, I think people are reading too much into this.” Another woman wrote about X.
“She’s wearing a dress and all of a sudden there’s a secret message? Maybe she just likes the dress.”
The tiered silk number with back cutout detail is currently sold out, but the designer’s website says it cost a whopping $1,350 when it was in stock.
The “Suits” alum wore a maxi dress while visiting the school with Prince Harry on Friday.
The couple was invited to Nigeria by West Africa’s Chief of Defense Staff, the highest-ranking military official.
The pair met at Heathrow Airport on Thursday, following another controversial decision by Markle.
She decided not to accompany her husband, who was scheduled to fly back to London to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, which the prince set up to support wounded and sick servicemen and veterans.
