During a 16-day royal tour in October 2018, Meghan Markle experienced an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction that caught the attention of eagle-eyed fans. The Duchess of Sussex, then newly married to Prince Harry, stepped off the plane at Fua'amotu Airport in Tonga wearing a vibrant red £380 Self Portrait dress. However, a price tag was clearly visible hanging from the hemline for at least five minutes as the couple walked along the tarmac.
The fashion faux pas prompted a flurry of comments online, with some jokingly suggesting Meghan may have left the tag on intentionally to return the dress. Others questioned why her team of stylists and aides did not notice the oversight before she descended from the aircraft. Good Morning Britain presenter Charlotte Hawkins defended Meghan, saying the mistake was 'easily done' as labels are often placed in different locations in women's clothing.
This was not the only wardrobe mishap for Meghan in 2018. Just two months earlier, at the wedding of Prince Harry's close friend Charlie van Straubenzee in Frensham, Surrey, Meghan accidentally missed a button on her £400 Club Monaco navy blue dress, briefly exposing her bra. She quickly covered up and smiled at photographers, maintaining her composure.
