Prince Harry and Meghan Markle with their son Archie are in South Africa, where they went on a commercial flight on September 23. Amid recent scandals over private jet flights, this looks like an attempt to mend the reputation of a stellar royal couple. However, before that, Meghan Markle managed to make a mistake by choosing a dress for her friend's wedding that looks very defiant. The other day, the cost of this outfit also became known - everything is in shock!
BBC explains why no one else believes in the sincerity of the duchess.
Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and their son Archie Harrison, now four and a half months old, went on their first royal family tour to Africa: on 23 on September they flew to Cape Town. Meghan Markle and Archie Harrison will remain in South Africa, and the father of the family will go on a trip to Botswana, Angola and Malawi. Prince Harry will return to his family in South Africa a few days before the end of the 10-day tour, which runs until October 2.
The trip attracted the attention of journalists in advance, in particular because Meghan Markle and Prince Harry flew a commercial flight with their son to Africa. Close attention was paid to the way they were transported after the August scandals, when the Dukes of Sussex used private jets twice and went on vacation to continental Europe. Against the backdrop of their conversations about caring for the environment and reducing the carbon footprint, this looked like hypocrisy. And the fact that flights on private jets are many times more expensive than tickets for commercial flights added even more piquancy to the situation, since Meghan Markle managed to annoy the British more than once with her tendency to live a luxurious life on taxpayer money.
According to CNN, a first-class flight ticket for the main British airline from London to Cape Town costs from $ 5071 per person. At the same time, for example, a private jet from London to Los Angeles will have to pay at least $ 125 thousand.
This, of course, is a significant savings and, apparently, deliberate.
A week ago, Meghan Markle made another appearance, after which she was harshly criticized. This time, the discontent of the media and users of social networks caused her choice of attire. At the wedding of her friend, designer Misha Nona, who was celebrated at the Aurelia villa near Rome in Italy on 20 of September, the Duchess wore a Valentino dress for $ 11 thousand.

However, the overwhelming price of the outfit that Meghan Markle would obviously wear once was not the only drawback of the dress of the Italian fashion house, which in itself, of course, is quite elegant. The fact is that for an unknown reason, Meghan Markle chose a black dress, which for the British was simply shocking. At the same time, as a member of the royal family, the Duchess of Sussex made another mistake - she chose a transparent outfit.
Apparently, Meghan Markle will never be able to defeat her passion for luxury, in which she can now swim, becoming the wife of the prince.
Renovating a house worth about $ 3 million, remodeling a children's bedroom due to the fact that the colors of the walls chosen for his son turned out to be inappropriate for his bright temperament, flying on private jets - the British remember all this. It doesn’t matter whose money Meghan Markle and, together with her, Prince Harry maintain a high standard of living - whether the British taxpayers pay for the reconstruction of the Frogmore cottage, whether Elton John pays for a flight to Nice - everyone in the UK understands how far the former American actress is far from the people.

I must say that the dress that Meghan Markle put on for Misha Nona's wedding is not the most expensive in her wardrobe. In particular, in her first appearance with Queen Elizabeth II, she went in a Givenchy outfit worth 18 thousand pounds (almost 22,5 thousand dollars), and a gray suit for meeting with the President of Ireland cost her 15 thousand pounds (18,7 thousand dollars).
In fairness, I must say that Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton, is not modest in her outfits, although this is not so striking to the British. The outfit of Alexander McQueen, which she put on her sister Pippa's wedding in May 2017, cost 11200 pounds (about 14 thousand dollars) - that is, more expensive than Megan's dress, which caused a stir in the press. However, the British have much less complaints about Kate: her image at the wedding of her sister was received quite favorably.
