Meghan Markle Slammed for ‘Dressing Inappropriately’ in $2,150 Low-Cut Dress with High Slit During Colombian Cultural Event — Pics

Meghan, who was also spotted wearing minimal jewelry and brown heels, attended the event with Prince Harry, who wore a beige suit with a light blue shirt and light brown shoes.

The couple’s visit to the centre also included Colombia’s Vice President, Francia Márquez who was dressed in an elegant white ensemble, and the centre’s director, Xiomara Suescun, in a printed top, green pants, and white boots.

Photos of Meghan’s $2,150 Johanna Ortiz dress, featuring maroon and gold embroidery, sparked online discussions. One user wrote, “Still dressing inappropriately. Showing to much skin. The Narasist still thinking the victim. Along with the husband who acts like a child [sic].”

Another commented on the 43-year-old Duchess’s outfit, “It’s really all about a fashion show. Nothing more.” Others questioned the price, “She could have bought the same thing for 50 bucks at Walmart!”

Some found the dress unsuitable for the event. One remarked, “Lovely dress. Not suited for the occasion- again. Her clothes are on repeat… same styles different day. She has about 4 outfits she selects and varies [sic].”

Another user added, “Nice dress but definitely not flattering on her.” Someone else questioned Meghan’s respect for local customs in Colombia, “She does not dress like a royal….or respect the country’s traditions.”

Another commented, “Always a thigh high slit for school children. Not very Royal [sic].” Despite the criticism, there were also supportive voices for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

“They look great. Glad they’re still out there reaching out and doing charity,” one fan wrote. Another praised the couple, “They are simply beautiful to look at and it’s so great seeing them on the ground for their work ❤️.”

A fan even remarked on Meghan’s radiant appearance, “What an absolutely beautiful couple! How is Meghan not aging?! She looks the same as she did in Suits [sic]!!”

Earlier in the day, Meghan and Harry had visited a local charter school, Colegio Cultura Popular, dressed in business casual attire. She wore a navy vest and matching trousers, while her husband opted for a dark blue suit.

At Colegio Cultura Popular, Harry and Meghan were warmly welcomed by student Jose David and headmaster Leonel Umaña Parra. The Duke and Duchess were also joined by Márquez.

Inside, the Sussex couple participated in an insight session where students discussed their experiences with social media and technology, sharing how these tools impact their lives both positively and negatively.

Meghan praised the students as “impressive, smart, and savvy,” and emphasized the importance of being “self-reliant and not tech-reliant.”

After the session, the duke and duchess joined students for recess, meeting more students and teachers who were thrilled to see them. The visit concluded with a group photo before the couple left for the arts center.

In the coming days, the couple will continue their engagements in the country. Their plans include more school visits, an Invictus Games training session, and participation in the Responsible Digital Future conference focused on internet safety. They will also explore local art, food, and history, guided by Márquez.

Meghan’s recent outfits in Bogotá—such as the expensive high-slit mauve-pink dress—sparked debate. Despite mixed reactions, she and Prince Harry’s commitment to their charitable work in Colombia remains steadfast. Their focus on meaningful engagements continues to outweigh the focus on fashion. controversies.
