Meghan Markle generates controversy for her dress to visit disadvantaged children
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's trip to New York continues to make headlines. In the middle of last week, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle visited the Big Apple to resume their official agenda after becoming parents for the second time and appearing on the cover of 'Time' magazine as if they were true Hollywood stars.
The solidarity causes championed by the dukes since they left the British royal family to go live in California have starred in the official commitments in the city of skyscrapers, but several controversies have also arisen on networks, such as their use of the private plane or the looks luxurious that Markle has worn on this three-day tour.
The outfit that has generated the most controversy was the one she wore on Friday to visit the students of the PS 123 Mahalia Jackson school in the Harlem neighborhood. During her presence Meghan read her book 'The Bench', inspired by the relationship between her husband and her son Archie, to the children who welcomed her with open arms.
For this occasion, Markle chose a maroon 'total look' from Loro Piana, made up of a cashmere coat, which costs 4,500 euros, and high-waisted, wide-leg pants, valued at 1,500 euros. The duchess completed the styling with Manolo Blahnik salons that cost more than 500 euros.

The total for the look was 6,500 euros, an amount that has not gone unnoticed by users of social networks, who have been very critical of the Duchess's decision to wear luxurious clothes to visit disadvantaged children.

The truth is that Markle has spared no expense for her big comeback in New York. Several American media have made a compilation of the most expensive clothes that she has worn during her three-day stay in the city. As they point out, the Duchess would have spent about 44,000 euros on the outfits of the tour in which she has also been criticized for wearing winter pieces when it is not cold yet. One of these items is Max Mara's camel coat that costs 3,700 euros and was worn to visit the UN on Saturday.
But without a doubt, her most expensive look was the one she wore on Global Citizen Live. Hand in hand with her husband, Meghan appeared on stage like a Hollywood diva, wearing a white Valentino haute couture minidress embellished with rhinestones across the chest and hem of her skirt.
The design in question is worth 3,800 euros and he combined it with Cartier diamond earrings valued at 14,000 euros, the Cartier 'Love' bracelet that reaches 6,000 euros and the watch also of the same brand, which belonged to Princess Diana of Wales, which costs 10,000 euros. In total, Meghan wore a style that cost 33,800 euros.
