What Happened: The sun made Meghan Markle’s skirt see-through
Sheer textiles have been “in” for many years, but they are not without concerns. Meghan Markle’s pleated Givenchy skirt ($1,755) turned see-through while traveling New Zealand due to exposure to sunlight. Markle probably didn’t notice (and neither did her admirers), but the journalists did. There was nothing wrong with Meghan’s outfit; it was just unfortunate that the sun caught the skirt in such a way that it revealed her underwear and legs. The New Zealand sun is harsh and, reportedly, merciless.

Princess of Michael of Kent’s Problematic Brooch
Year: 2017
What Happened: A possibly racist brooch
We’ll never know why Princess Michael of Kent believed this brooch was a good idea. When the Royal attended Queen Elizabeth II’s Christmas supper in 2017, she wore a Blackamoor brooch. This immediately aroused criticism, as Blackmoor brooches are notorious for their exoticized depictions of African enslaved peoples and slaves. The Princess eventually had to apologize for what she wore, stating that she was “distressed” to have caused such “offense.”
