She and the artistic team missed the mark in a very big way w\/this pretentious attempt at chicness,” one user wrote on X.<\/p>\n “She just can\u2019t be honest and admit that she likes beige,” one user quipped. “And there is nothing wrong with that. The only problem is, she should just admit that she lied about having to wear the color while in the UK.”<\/p>\n “There she is, the woman finally free to wear bright colors!” another wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n APP USERS CLICK HERE TO VIEW POST<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n In Netflix’s 2022 series, “Meghan & Harry,” Markle opened about the reasoning behind her wardrobe choices.\u00a0<\/p>\n “Most of the time I was in the UK, I rarely wore color,” she said in the series<\/a>. “To my understanding, you can\u2019t ever wear the same color as Her Majesty if there\u2019s a group event, but then you also shouldn\u2019t be wearing the same color as one of the other more senior members of the family.”<\/p>\n PRINCE HARRY, MEGHAN MARKLE \u2018WRONG WINNERS\u2019 OF HUMANITARIAN AWARD AMID ONGOING ROYAL TENSIONS: EXPERTS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n “I wore a lot of muted tones, but it was also so I could just blend in,” she continued. “I\u2019m not trying to stand out here. There was no version of me [that was] joining this family and trying not to do everything I could to fit in. I don\u2019t want to embarrass the family.”<\/p>\n Markle said she wore neutral tones in an attempt to blend in.\u00a0 (Samir Hussein)<\/p>\n The backlash comes weeks after Markle and Prince Harry experienced a shake-up within their team.<\/p>\n Emily Robinson, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex\u2019s director of communications, stepped down just four months after assuming the role, People magazine<\/a> reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n “Ms. Robinson oversaw project-based work for a very successful season of \u2018With Love, Meghan’ and additional support for the production company,” a spokesperson from Archewell, which handles the offices for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, told Fox News Digital. “She did an excellent job and completed these projects with great success.”<\/p>\n CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n The sudden departure has reignited scrutiny of the Sussexes\u2019 business empire in Hollywood, especially as Meghan, 44, attempts to brand herself as an entrepreneur.<\/p>\n “This most recent departure simply adds to the ongoing instability and brand confusion within the couple\u2019s discombobulated operations,” British royals expert Hilary Fordwich<\/a> told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n “It\u2019s a clear indication that Meghan Markle\u2019s ambition<\/a> to reshape her public image with a polished team is failing,” Fordwich claimed. “The optics are ghastly as it really enforces the negative image of chaotic brand control, at best, as well as Meghan\u2019s dwindling influence.”<\/p>\n Prince Harry and Meghan Markle experienced a shake-up within their staff last month.\u00a0 (Karwai Tang)<\/p>\n LIKE WHAT YOU\u2019RE READING?

The couple stepped back as senior royals in 2020 and moved to California<\/a>.<\/p>\n “There is growing evidence to support the rumors that Meghan Markle struggles to follow the direction of her advisors,” royal expert Kinsey Schofield of YouTube\u2019s “Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered” told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n “Former staff tell me that she appears receptive to advice, acts as if she will execute it in the way that it has been presented, and then does the complete opposite,” Schofield claims. “Meghan blames the media and public for misinterpreting or misunderstanding her. It\u2019s an exhausting cycle, and for many who have worked with her, ultimately an unsustainable one.”<\/p>\n![\"Meghan](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/meghan-markle-3.jpg\")
