During a recent visit to Nigeria with Prince Harry, Meghan Markle faced criticism for her outfit choices, which many deemed too revealing for a trip to an African nation. The Duchess of Sussex underwent multiple wardrobe changes throughout the three-day visit, showcasing high-end brands such as Carolina Herrera, Altuzarra, and Johanna Ortiz.
However, Meghan’s fashion choices drew backlash from observers, who felt that her attire was not suitable for the cultural context. The total cost of her outfits, including jewelry and new clothing items, was reportedly a staggering £120,000 ($153,104). This lavish spending sparked controversy, particularly given the widespread poverty in Nigeria, where over 112 million people live below the poverty line.
Meghan’s comment about Nigeria being “my country” also stirred up controversy, as she revealed her Nigerian heritage. Critics pointed out the disconnect between her luxurious spending and the harsh realities faced by many Nigerians.
Royal family enthusiasts were particularly vocal in their disapproval of Meghan’s attire choices. Many felt that her outfits, especially during school visits, were too revealing and failed to meet the modesty expectations of the local culture. Some critics labeled Meghan’s outfit choices as disrespectful, sparking a heated debate about cultural sensitivity and royal protocol.
