The upcoming coronation of King Charles is causing quite a stir, as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle seem to have their own agenda when it comes to the highly anticipated event.
While traditionally, all attention should be focused on Charles, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have made it clear that they want their demands met.
However, this has raised concerns among some, who fear that giving in to their requests could lead to chaos during the coronation.
Others speculate that these demands are simply a way for the Sussexes to seek revenge for their eviction from Frogmore Cottage.
One particular area of concern for Meghan Markle appears to be her attire for the occasion.
Rumors have been circulating that no designer is willing to dress her for the coronation.
Lady Colin Campbell, a well-known figure in royal circles, revealed that Meghan has fallen out of favor with some top-line courtiers.
She explains that Meghan was once highly sought after by designers due to her good looks and high profile.
However, Lady C suggests that this is no longer the case, at least not with the top courtiers.
A stylist has also weighed in on Meghan’s fashion choices, suggesting that her lack of consistent collaboration with a wardrobe expert has led to some questionable red carpet moments.
Markle has had a few fashion mishaps during her time as a royal, including leaving tags on dresses during royal tours and even leaving a seamstress’s stitch visible on the back of a coat during a trip to Birmingham.
Halle Abrams, a stylist and founder of The Wardrobe Consultant, believes that these misses could have been avoided if Meghan had worked more closely with a stylist.
One outfit that received criticism was the red dress Meghan wore to the Salute to Freedom gala.
The Carolina Herrera gown, known for its deep neckline and voluminous skirt, was deemed inappropriate for the occasion.
Halle Abrams expressed her thoughts on the dress, stating that Meghan may have had her own ideas and style in mind, rather than considering what would be most flattering for her.
A stylist’s role, according to Abrams, is to help the client achieve their best look by taking into account their shape, coloring, and personal preferences.
It seems that Meghan has had a history of working with multiple stylists instead of maintaining a close relationship with one.
In contrast, Catherine, the Princess of Wales, has worked with the same stylist for 16 years.
Reports suggest that Meghan has often styled herself, as confirmed by her friend and makeup artist Daniel Martin.
However, there have been instances where she has collaborated with various stylists, such as Maria Means Coat, a former PR and celebrity relations manager for Prada, who helped curate looks for Meghan’s farewell UK tour.
Additionally, for her Time 100 cover in 2021, she was styled by Nina Hallworth.
As the coronation approaches, it remains to be seen how Harry and Meghan’s demands will be addressed.
The couple’s desire to have their voices heard and their unique fashion choices respected has sparked debate among royal watchers.
While some argue that their requests should be accommodated to maintain a sense of inclusivity, others worry about the potential disruption they could cause.
As the world eagerly awaits King Charles’s coronation, all eyes will be on how these tensions unfold and whether the spotlight will truly shine solely on the new monarch.
