Kensington Palace has just released photos from Prince Louis’ christening. This time Meghan Markle is being criticized again when she wears a dress that stands out from all the other members.
Having been Prince Harry’s wife for nearly 2 months, it seems that Meghan Markle’s troubles are still not over. Just a few days ago, Meghan was criticized for spending more money on clothes in 2 months than her sister-in-law’s entire year’s wardrobe, and for her tactless choice of lingerie. Recently, the image of the new Princess at the christening of little Prince Louis continued to cause controversy.

On the afternoon of July 9, the British Royal Family held a christening ceremony for Prince Louis at the Royal Chapel at St. James’s Palace. Kensington Palace recently released photos of the event. In addition to the individual photos of Prince William and Princess Kate, many people paid attention to the group photo of all members of the British Royal Family.
In the group photo, it can be seen that the men all chose to wear simple, elegant suits. Meanwhile, while women like Mrs. Camilla Parker, Mrs. Carole Middleton, Princess Kate Middleton and Pippa Middleton all wore bright-colored dresses, only Meghan Markle chose to wear a dark moss green dress and hat. Because of this, many people think that Meghan Markle deliberately chose bright-colored outfits to “stand out” from everyone else.
Many people criticized Meghan Markle’s outfit with a huge amount of agreement: “While everyone else chose blue or cream, how could she choose a color as bad as moss green?”; “I only noticed two things: first is Kate’s affectionate look at Prince Louis, second is Meghan’s blue dress” (Source: Daily Mail)
“Didn’t anyone tell her about the blue and cream outfit? Her husband knows about it…”; “She must have some ulterior motive?”; “Pay attention to me”… (Source: Daily Mail)
However, in the baptism photos of Prince George and Princess Charlotte, it can be seen that members of the royal family are still wearing dark or bright colors. So wearing light colors is not a specific rule that must be followed, so the criticism of Meghan Markle’s outfit is not entirely justified.
At Prince George’s christening, Queen Elizabeth II wore a striking blue outfit while Mrs. Carole Middleton wore a dark purple dress.
At Princess Charlotte’s christening, Duchess Camilla Parker’s baby blue outfit even “overshadowed” Queen Elizabeth II’s pink outfit.
But whether this was intentional or not, most opinions agree that as a royal princess, Meghan Markle should be more careful and pay more attention to her outfits. Remember at Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s wedding, Princess Kate chose to wear an old design that she had worn many times before. Besides praising the princess’s simplicity, many opinions also said that this was a subtle action that helped her not “stand out” more than the other older members in the group photo.
Many people think that Princess Kate deliberately chose a light cream-colored dress at Meghan Markle’s wedding so that it wouldn’t be the same color as the bride’s, and wouldn’t be more “outstanding” than the outfits worn by Queen Elizabeth II, Duchess Camilla Parker, and Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland.
