Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has found herself in the midst of a fashion controversy.

Speculations have been circulating that she may have been merchandising the clothes she wore, which could explain why they often didn’t fit well and sometimes even had price tags still attached.

One such incident occurred during her 16-day tour of Australia, Fiji, Tonga, and New Zealand in 2018, when Meghan was photographed with a price tag dangling from her bright red dress, reflecting the colors of the Tongan flag.

The dress reportedly retails for $444.

Critics argue that most of the outfits Meghan wore as a royal lacked flair and failed to impress the fashion-conscious.

Her pants were often seen without proper hems, and her formal dresses didn’t fit her properly.

One example that garnered significant attention was the Endeavour dress, which not only received criticism for its appearance on Meghan but also on the model herself.

Furthermore, her choice of undergarments, particularly a strapless bra that she frequently wore, didn’t complement her tops, resulting in an unflattering look.

It seemed as though she paid little attention to the fit and appearance of her outfits, perhaps because she couldn’t merchandise the bra.

In her first year of marriage, Meghan reportedly spent a staggering one million pounds on clothing.

However, some speculate that she may not have even purchased these outfits herself.

After all, why would an outfit designed exclusively for a person need a price tag?

It is common for designers to gift their clothing to celebrities, knowing that it will generate significant attention and boost sales.

Allegations have also surfaced suggesting that Meghan charged Prince Charles for items she received for free, only to later sell them herself.

This seemingly clever tactic allowed her to profit from both ends.

The rumors of merchandising began circulating since Princess Eugenie’s wedding, where Meghan was seen wearing numerous rings and carrying gloves that she couldn’t wear due to the aforementioned rings.

Additionally, all the products featured at her so-called baby shower in New York were later promoted by a friend on Instagram, further raising suspicions.

Meghan also utilized her visits to British charities as an opportunity to promote clothing brands.

Furthermore, there have been claims that she treated her personal dresser poorly, as nothing seemed to satisfy her high standards.

Camilla Tomini, a writer for the Telegraph, shed light on Meghan’s apparent disdain for her sister-in-law Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge.

Meghan allegedly expressed frustration over Catherine receiving priority from fashion designers, stating, “she’s not the queen.”

However, it is crucial to note that Catherine will eventually become the queen consort, whereas Meghan will remain the Duchess of Sussex.

There is a hierarchical structure within the royal family that Meghan seems to overlook.

She is not as pivotal as the Princess of Wales, and this is something she should understand.

Reports suggest that both Meghan and Catherine shared an affinity for designer Maura Leigh-Glew.

However, Catherine had the advantage of being higher in the pecking order of royal wives, allowing her first dibs on the designer’s creations.

Meghan failed to acknowledge that Catherine possesses more experience as a royal, having been William’s on-off girlfriend for a decade before their marriage.

It takes time to acclimate to a new role, and Meghan seemed to believe that her skin tone would grant her special privileges.

Yet, fashion designers would naturally prioritize dressing the future queen consort over the wife of the fifth in line to the throne.

Interestingly, Katy Perry, partner of actor Orlando Bloom, publicly commented that Meghan’s wedding dress didn’t fit her properly.
