Meghan Markle has been criticised on social media for her dress choice for a memorial service.
While the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge welcomed their new son, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made an appearance at a much more sombre event.
They attended the memorial service of Stephen Lawrence, an18-year-old British black man who, according to People, was murdered in a racially charged attack 25 years ago.
The couple spoke to Lawrence's mother, Prince Harry gave a speech on behalf of Prince Charles and Markle sat next to British Prime Minister Theresa May at the service, which some have called a watershed moment in terms of royals expressing their own political views.
But somehow, Markle's dress drew all the attention of royal-watchers.
Well, I was hoping her navy cape dress would be a sartorial turning point, but apparently not. Sorry (not sorry) but this isn’t appropriate for a memorial service. Messy hair, deep v-neck, no sleeves...just, no. #meghanmarklepic.twitter.com/hL4Oh7197q
One wrote: "Give her time, she is still learning. We know it should have been a suit or a dress with a collar and sleeves. She is a fashionista of the mod world."
Others suggested people stop criticising her in general and "stop and support" her instead.
We live in a world where criticism and cruel remarks reign. Meghan Markle wears a sleeveless black dress to a funeral in the UK and the British fashion critics bust a gut! Give it a break!
