Meghan Markle Accused of Keeping Designer Dress
Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is in trouble for wearing a fancy dress in a Netflix promo that she had borrowed for a magazine photoshoot in 2022.
Some people say she kept the dress without asking, which costs $1,695.
Others think it might be part of a royal tradition to keep clothes from photoshoots.
Meghan and her husband, Prince Harry, have been facing a lot of criticism lately, and this is just another issue adding to their problems.
Meghan Markle accused of keeping a $1,695 Galvan dress borrowed for a 2022 Variety magazine photoshoot.
The dress was spotted in a promo for her Netflix holiday special, 'With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration'.
Journalist Vanessa Grigoriadis claimed Markle did not return the dress or other items from the shoot.
Defenders suggest it might be part of a 'royal archive' protocol where items may not be returned.
This controversy adds to the ongoing scrutiny of Meghan and Prince Harry since they stepped away from royal duties.
