"The hand embroidered dress is not shown to enhance the personality of the child. Instead it looks wrinkled and time-worn." Another said: "The dress should be ironed." The article did offer balance, quoting another royal fan who said: "She's a child, how dare you attack her little wrinkles??
Harper's Bazaar writer Mahalia Chang explained how the fabric of Meghan's dress, “as well as the triple silk organza used to make the underskirt, is extremely thick, stiff and does not allow for much stretch”.
With an unreadable, almost blank face at the procession, Meghan was accused of disrespectfully smirking. Both Sussexes were criticized for holding hands as they walked into Westminster Hall. Meghan's also been criticized for acting, as if royal public engagements are not at their hearts performative.
The spat began when Duchess Kate complained the dress for her daughter, Princess Charlotte, was “too big, too long, too baggy,” according to texts Harry reportedly quotes in “Spare,” released Tuesday.
“Charlotte's dress is too big, too long, too baggy,” Harry recalls of Kate's text message. “She cried when she tried it on at home.” According to the memoir, Meghan responded to Kate, instructing her to see the tailor at Kensington Palace, but Kate supposedly said every dress needed to be remade.
') Well the explanation might be way simpler, and logical than you'd think. Harper's Bazaar writer Mahalia Chang explained in an article that Givenchy designer Claire Waight Keller and bride Meghan Markle chose a cut that would allow the bride to move around without being encumbered by the stiff fabric of the dress.
She said that the dress would need to be completely remade four days before the wedding because: "Charlotte's dress is too big, too long, too baggy. She cried when she tried it on at home." Harry wrote that, afterwards, he found Meghan "on the floor.
Contrary to popular belief, princesses do not curtsy to other princes or princesses, despite rank. So Meghan would not be expected curtsy to Prince William or Kate Middleton in a formal setting, until they become king and queen.
"Some people touch their hair, play with their fingernails, or rub their arms, as a way to psychologically and physiologically calm themselves when they're feeling anxious, uncomfortable,or stressed," Blanca Cobb, body language expert and author of Method of the Masters, told GoodHousekeeping.com.
Lee said: 'We often see Charlotte in blue outfits and blue is a colour that represents calm, confidence and trust in a stable future.

According to new data for 2023 compiled by YouGov, Meghan is now liked by just 23 percent of Brits and disliked by 50 percent, giving her a net positivity rating of -27.
Prince Harry said he and Meghan had been portrayed as the "new kids on the block" who had threatened to "steal the limelight" from other royals - and that led to problems in those relationships. Of brother Prince William and his wife Catherine, he said: "I always hoped that the four of us would get on.
While they are no longer working members of the royal family, Prince Harry and the former Meghan Markle still hold the royal titles of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, which were bestowed upon them when they married in 2018.
Such is the genius of her turn toward frumpy fashion: The queen uses her modesty as a tool to pacify her advisers, so that they remain her cooperative informants. But the dowdiness of her clothes is merely a comforting lie. Underneath her ill-fitting garments lies an experienced, determined, resilient woman.
Diana lost so much weight in the lead-up to her wedding that five different bodices reportedly had to be made for her gown. "Most brides do lose weight," Elizabeth told PEOPLE. "So we weren't that worried when she did. She ended up with a 23-inch waist from a 26- to 27- inch."
Celebrities Wear Oversized Shoes
The Duchess of Sussex is not the only celebrity who wears heels that are too big. Many celebrities have been seen on the red carpet wearing shoes that do not fit their feet. It is not a fashion trend. Celebrities wear big shoes to prevent their feet from swelling and forming blisters.

Prince William defied royal protocol at the King's Coronation when he chose not to bow to Queen Camilla at the Coronation Concert.
Kate Middleton's decision not to curtsy to Queen Camilla was a clear indication of her disapproval of King Charles' wife and her mishandling of his coronation, according to sources. While Kate is known for her poised public image, insiders reveal that she is no pushover when it comes to royal politics.
She no longer has to curtsy to someone in the family who has not only left Royal duties but has spent the past three years criticising the institution that Sophie works so hard to support." King Charles upheld the promise made to Edward and Sophie by the late Queen on Friday by giving them their new titles.
According to Prince Harry's account, four days before his wedding Kate sent a message to Meghan saying that her daughter Charlotte was upset at the ill-fitting gown. “Charlotte's dress is too big, too long, too baggy,” the Princess of Wales's text said, according to Harry. “She cried when she tried it on at home.”
For the couple's wedding reception, Markle wore a US$157,000 silk crepe dress designed by Stella McCartney.
According to The New Royals by Katie Nicholl, the Queen wanted Markle to don an off-white dress, signifying her previous marriage to film producer Trevor Engelson, whom she married in 2011.
