Though the gaping wounds dealt to the Sussexes’ relationship with the British monarchy may never fully heal, Harry and Meghan appear to be doing their utmost to move on with their lives.

After settling into their family home in Montecito, California, the couple have been involved in a number of high-profile projects, including a Netflix series that took a candid look at their new lives across the Atlantic, as well as podcast deals with Spotify and, of course, Harry’s tell-all memoir, Spare.

Not only that, but in recent times Harry and Meghan have been assuming duties that appear suspiciously royal in nature. Earlier this year the pair embarked on a tour of Nigeria, garnering headlines and attention despite the fact that – on paper at least – they’re mere everyday civilians like the rest of us.

The couple then visited South America, more specifically Colombia, drawing criticism from some quarters over perceived “hypocrisy” relating to their unwillingness to visit the UK (Harry’s homeland) due to safety concerns.

And it’s not just their decision to travel to Colombia that’s rubbed people the wrong way, apparently. No, Meghan’s critics were out in force last week after she donned a pricey mauve-pink dress with a low-cut neckline and high slit during a visit National Centre for the Arts, in Bogotá on August 15.

Just why people feel the need to attack high-profile individuals based on their appearance or what they choose to wear remains a mystery to us, but it’s become a definite trend in recent times.

In any case, Meghan attended the above event alongside Prince Harry, but it was her Johanna Ortiz dress, which reportedly cost $2,150, that stole much of the attention.

One internet user wrote on X: “Still dressing inappropriately. Showing to much skin. The Narasist still thinking the victim. Along with the husband who acts like a child [sic].”

“It’s really all about a fashion show. Nothing more🤣🤣” wrote another.

“She could have bought the same thing for 50 bucks at Walmart!” a third chimed.

“Lovely dress. Not suited for the occasion- again. Her clothes are on repeat… same styles different day. She has about 4 outfits she selects and varies [sic]” opined a fourth.

A fifth struck out at Meghan apparently not respecting Colombia’s traditions. “She does not dress like a royal….or respect the country’s traditions,” they wrote.

“Always a thigh high slit for school children. Not very Royal [sic],” another individual commented.
