Another said, “Did she really choose a dress called the Windsor Dress, or are you being cheeky for fun?”

Meanwhile, a section of users have backed Meghan Markle’s decision.
Honestly, I think people read too much into this stuff. She wears a dress and suddenly it’s a secret message? Maybe she just liked the dress.

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan used to live in the royal family’s Windsor estate, west of London, Buckingham Palace. The property, known as Frogmore Cottage, was a wedding present to the couple from Harry’s grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, in 2018.
The couple vacated the family home in June last year. In 2020, they decided to quit royal family duties and move to the US.
Meanwhile, Meghan Markle’s dress choice comes shortly after a royal expert revealed that King Charles gave a “rare honour” to Ms Markle before the couple stepped back from their duties.
BBC royal correspondent Micheal Cole told GBN America how it went “so badly wrong” for Meghan Markle and putting it all together is “really hard”.
Mr Cole said, “It’s really hard to puzzle where it all went so badly wrong. She could not have been welcomed more into this country or the Royal Family. It was a rare honour when the King offered to walk her down the aisle because her father, Thomas, is estranged from her, as are most members of her family. That was a great honour, and the late Queen went out of her way to make a friend of Doria, her mother.”
