Meghan Markle – Angers Royal Family Followers

Learn to read the room. That’s the advice from royal family followers after Meghan Markle’s clothing choice went viral.

And the Duchess of Sussex sparked a backlash over wearing a Royal British Legion red poppy pin on her very expensive designer clothes amid opening a new United States Navy fitness center in San Diego with Prince Harry, according to MSN.

Meghan and Harry teamed up with members of the Navy SEAL Foundation on November 8 to open the new state-of-the-art Warrior Fitness Program facility. And both the Duchess and Duke of Sussex chose to wear a red poppy on their matching black outfits. 

Poppies have become a November tradition in the UK for remembrance events and Armistice Day (November 11). And in November, the royal family wears poppies ahead of Remembrance Sunday. However, in the United States, poppies typically are worn for Memorial Day in May.

Meghan Markle – Dresses To Steal Spotlight

But angry royal family followers felt that Meghan used her poppy to steal the spotlight. For instance, one critic wrote on social media, “I didn’t think poppies are worn on Veterans Day in the US, but are worn on Memorial Day in May? Am I wrong? … & instead of attending court, here’s ‘that one’ yet again claiming front & centre stage at an event that has absolutely nothing to do with her. God give me strength. “

And another wrote, “Meghan Markle looks like a bloody moron wearing a Royal British Legion Poppy. Who told her wearing a British poppy while ‘celebrating American veterans’ would be a good look.”

Meanwhile, Page Six reports that the Duchess of Sussex spent nearly $5,000 on her outfit. And the Suits alum wore a Giorgio Armani suit to open the new veterans’ training facility.

Markle donned a silk button-front blazer, which costs $3,095. And she matched it with palazzo trousers, for which she paid $1,695.

But the Duchess of Sussex then wore a Royal British Legion poppy to complete her outfit. And angry commentators flooded message boards with their wrath.

Meghan Markle – Represents ‘Slap In The Face’

For instance, one wrote, “The following point cannot be emphasized enough: H&M do NOT represent the UK/Commonwealth in any official capacity.

They do not represent the British government in any capacity. The wearing of the poppy is a sign of respect in the UK/Australia/Commonwealth. If American vets want to be used as photo-ops by this pair of attention seekers that is on them.”

And another shared, “I suspect the US military is sick of them as well. I’m sure they’ll put a stop to this.” But one critic pointed out, “They don’t represent the US Military either. These two are such grifters.” And another angry commentator wrote, “Who put them in charge of representing our country to our veterans and dedicating a facility? Are they getting paid for this? This is a slap in the face to our veterans each of whom are great patriots who protected our country.”
