Netflix<\/p>\n<p>Markle had viewers doing double takes over the weekend when a trailer for her\u00a0show, \u201cWith Love, Meghan Holiday Celebration,\u201d showed her in a dress\u00a0allegedly kept from a 2022 Variety cover shoot.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A fashion source tells Page Six that Markle, \u201ctook the dress from the shoot without asking,\u201d confirming rumblings that the pricey one-shoulder, emerald green Galvan \u201cUshuaia\u201d gown had disappeared from the photo shoot.<\/p>\n<p>She is wearing the piece in a trailer for her upcoming holiday special. Netflix<\/p>\n<p>A second source confirmed to Page Six that Markle ended up with the dress.<\/p>\n<p>However, a third source told us that everyone\u2019s getting their knickers in a twist over nada, claiming that Markle must take the clothes as a royal \u2014 and that the whole hubbub is likely \u201ca misunderstanding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The source claims they\u2019d heard buzz that, \u201cAs a royal, she was required to archive all her looks. It was known that when things were pulled that they may not be returned.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But this does not appear to be an actual royal protocol.<\/p>\n<p>Two sources tell us she wound up with the dress.

They would normally\u00a0be offered a discount if its something the designer can\u2019t part with or a sample that needs to be returned.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Cut cover was also in 2022.
