I’m starting to wonder if this is the correct take.
I saw a lot of people interpreting Meghan’s Commonwealth Service outfit as following the agreed-upon navy dress code. I actually interpreted it the exact opposite. I think her cream ensemble was designed to make her stand out. Yes, I know Anne also wore cream, but no one looks at Anne.
I suspect they were told to dress in navy so they wouldn’t upstage the Queen’s cranberry dress, and Meghan hogged the spotlight with her white coat and hat. Yes, it technically fit the dress code, but I doubt anyone was amused with her cleverness. Mocking Liam’s performance didn’t help her cause any, imo. The fact that a ton of people interpreted the dress code as the BRF supporting Meghan and not as everyone stepping into line and supporting the Queen was also not good.
