Hours after the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge joyously welcomed their new
son, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made an appearance Monday at a more
somber event in London, at which the former actress is now being slammed
for her look.
At St. Martin-in-the-Fields church, the engaged pair stepped out hand in
hand for the memorial service of Stephen Lawrence, an 18-year-old British
black man murdered in a racially-charged attack 25 years ago, People
reports.
The future royal sported a sleeveless, black, printed V-neck dress from
Hugo Boss, cinched with a belt and paired with her signature bun, a clutch
and nude pumps.
At the event, the couple spoke with Lawrences mother, and Prince Harry
gave a speech on behalf of Prince Charles. British Prime Minister Theresa
May was also in attendance, and sat next to Markle.
While Vogue notes that the duo's sheer presence at the Lawrence memorial
could mark a watershed moment for the royal family, which has,
traditionally, discouraged its members from publicly expressing their own
political views, style critics nevertheless denounced Markle as being
less than dressed for the occasion.
It's a memorial service for a murder victim. In a church. Is it too much
to ask of Rachel to cover up with a jacket, wear stockings, sort out that
messy hair for once and stop the holding hands! one commentator scolded
her by the name of her "Suits" character, which is also Markle's given
name.

Surprised to see Meghan Markle had her shoulders uncovered at the
#StephenLawrence memorial -seems a bit of a fashion faux pas to me?

So Meghan Markle wears THIS to a memorial service? Someone needs a lesson
in some decorum. Good grief. Anything to get the attention back on her
from a newborn baby. pic.twitter.com/YLOma00BFv

Someone needs a lesson in some decorum. Good grief, another said of the
"inappropriate" outfit.
Others, meanwhile, were more forgiving.
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, a supporter defended.
