Arriving in Bogotá with her usual flair, Meghan sported a $598 navy vest, $448 navy trousers, and a $3,775 Loro Piana handbag. She accessorized with small earrings valued at $650 to underscore her royal status. Not to be outdone, Meghan layered on additional bling: a Lorraine Schwartz diamond bracelet costing over $15,000, a $7,000 check CTI bracelet, and a $24,900 Cartier watch. Her footwear, a pair of black Manolo Blahnik heels, set her back another $595. Clearly, no expense was spared.
The pièce de résistance of the day was Meghan’s outfit for the Responsible Digital Future Forum at a local university. She wore a $597 chocolate brown shirt by Victoria Beckham, paired with glossy trousers and burnt orange suede sandals. Meghan aimed for a chic, laid-back vibe, but as fate would have it, the outfit didn’t quite withstand the heat—literally. By the time Meghan and Harry were posing for photographs, the only thing more noticeable than her expensive jewelry was the series of sweat stains that had marred her ensemble.
One might wonder what Meghan was thinking when selecting this outfit. Surely someone in her entourage could have suggested that a heavy, dark fabric might not be the best choice for a humid Bogotá day. Perhaps the focus was more on the price tag than on practicality. After all, when aiming to impress with high fashion, concerns like sweat might be overlooked.
Meghan, known for her love of luxurious labels and meticulously crafted appearances, was brought down by a basic issue: perspiration. This wasn’t just any perspiration, but crutch sweat, and it was impossible to miss. Social media quickly buzzed with comments ranging from disbelief to outright mockery. One particularly observant user questioned why Meghan was sweating in those areas while others were not.
Adding to the awkwardness, reports indicate that Prince Harry seemed to physically distance himself from the situation. He reportedly refused to embrace Meghan after noticing the stains, choosing instead to keep his hands behind his back. That’s bound to sting more than the sweat itself.
As the day progressed, Meghan’s wardrobe choices became the subject of widespread discussion—not for their luxury, but for the unsightly sweat stains. The lesson here? Perhaps it’s that no amount of money can substitute for good taste or practical fabric choices. Meghan, next time you’re packing for a high-profile trip, consider opting for something a bit less sweaty.
