In a surprising fashion move, Meghan Markle has completely transformed her style, leaving royal fans divided. The Duchess of Sussex joined Prince Harry for their first engagement in Nigeria at the W Lightway Academy in Abuja. Were treated to an exciting glimpse of Meghan Markle's stunning new hairstyle, which was a departure from her usual sleek waves or pulled-back bun.
Dressed in casual summer attire, Meghan wore a floor-length dress designed by California resident Heidi Merck. The pink gown was adorned with gold jewelry, complementing her loosely flowing brown locks, which were elegantly pulled back into a fishtail braid. While many fans praised her new hairstyle and overall look, others criticized what they saw as a fashion faux pas.
One loyal Sussex supporter couldn't contain their admiration, writing, "Megan looks absolutely stunning today! The whole look is absolutely perfect, and I love the way she styles her hair." However, some royal fashion followers expressed concerns about the length of the dress, noting that it dragged on the floor and should have been more tailored. There were also comments about the dress appearing wrinkled, leading to a divided opinion among fans.
Later in the day, Meghan changed into an elegant white suit as she and Harry made their way to the city's defense headquarters. There, the Duke appeared to participate in a troop inspection while Meghan continued to make her mark as a prominent figure. The couple's busy itinerary for the remainder of the trip includes separate engagements on Saturday. Prince Harry is scheduled to watch a volleyball match, while Meghan will co-host the Women in Leadership event with Enozi Oono-Wilder, the first woman and first African to serve as Director-General of the World Trade Organization.
The Duke and Duchess will reunite for a reception, where they will have the opportunity to meet the families and loved ones of fallen soldiers and other service members. On their last full day in Nigeria, Sunday, May 12th, they will travel to Lagos, the country's largest city. There, they will visit Governor Baba Sun Olo and attend a basketball clinic called "Giants of Africa" at a local school. This visit holds particular significance for Meghan as she connects with her Nigerian roots, as revealed by an ancestry test indicating that she is 43% Nigerian.
