ROYAL FAMILY
Watch the events Meghan Markle’s and Prince Harry partook in during their visit to Nigeria.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are no strangers to being the subjects of online criticism.
The couple, who touched down in Nigeria on Friday, were invited to visit the African country for the first time by Nigeria’s chief of defense staff, the country’s highest-ranking military official.
As photos of the duo’s visit began to circulate online, social media users were quick to notice a subtle, possibly unintentional, nod to Windsor.
Markle wore a backless, beige-colored maxi dress designed by Heidi Merrick, called “Windsor.”
“Meghan Markle is desperate to have ties to Windsor name,” one user wrote on X. “Her strategic marriage and un-strategic moves since then have backfired. Like a dress with the name gives her the legitimacy that continues to elude her!”
But they have been trying to erase the Windsors from their lives completely, but here comes Mrs. Sussex wearing a dress called ‘Windsor’, haha!!” another wrote.
“She’s desperate for the benefits without the duty,” another user wrote.
Some fans, however, immediately came to Markle’s defense.
“Honestly, I think people read too much into this stuff. She wears a dress and suddenly it’s a secret message? Maybe she just liked the dress,” one user commented.
