A few weeks ago, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, went to Nigeria with Prince Harry to celebrate the anniversary of the Invictus Games. Many people, though, didn’t like what she wore on the trip because they thought it was too showing and not proper for a trip to an African country.
During her three-day visit, Meghan changed clothes several times, showing off expensive names like Carolina Herrera, Altuzarra, and Johanna Ortiz. But her fashion choices got her in trouble, and many people questioned the £120,000 that was said to have been spent on her outfits, which included jewellery and new clothes.
To make things even worse, Meghan’s comment that Nigeria was “my country” caused a stir, especially since she later said she was 43% Nigerian. Critics called out the big difference between how much she spent on clothes and items and how poor most people are in Nigeria, where more than 112 million people live below the poverty line.
The clothes Meghan wore on the tour were especially criticised by people who like the royal family. Many people were unhappy with her choice of clothes, especially when she went to schools, and said on social media that they were too showing and not in line with the culture’s expectations of humility.
There were people who thought Meghan’s outfit choices during the trip were rude, especially her dresses, which were criticised for not being suitable. The criticism over what she wore has led to a larger discussion about how important it is to be respectful of other cultures and dress modestly when the royal family comes.
