Meghan Markle’s Windsor dress sparked a lot of reactions during their three-day visit to Nigeria which kicked off on Friday, May 10th.
The Duchess of Sussex’s unique fashion choice turned the heads of many as she showcased a blackless peachy maxi dress designed by Heidi Merrick, nicknamed “Windsor”.
Though she looked super stylish, many needed to be more impressed with the irony of Meghan wearing a dress bearing the Windsor name, considering she had already decided not to be a royal in 2020.
Social media was full of comments relating to Meghan Markle’s dress. Among the comments, there were mouth-breathing and tongue-flicking jokes as well as daydreaming instances.
An X user shared, “I’m convinced she is doing this on purpose at this point. Infamy is her goal – not approval. She is taking a page out of Wallis’s handbook.”

The second one jested, “Done as a snub. DEFINITELY.” In other cases, more people approved of Megan Markle’s dress choice, and one wrote, “I am dead serious” when asked if they thought Meghan was doing it on purpose.
Did she really choose a dress called the Windsor Dress, or are you being cheeky for fun?
