If fashion is being used as a statement and Meghan Markle is the speaker, then you are in for quite a TED Talk. Adoring her wedding dress with flowers representing the countries of the Commonwealth, wearing green to an event empowering women, and delivering a guide to revenge dressing absolutely free through her final tour as a working royal, the royal family has not seen a fashion maestro like the Duchess of Sussex since Princess Diana.

While the Duchess may be on par with Princess Diana’s regal taste in style, it is not quite the case with her standing in the Hollywood industry since her royal adieu. This is why, as claims of a failing marriage and financial rain on her, netizens are paying extra attention to Meghan Markle’s choice of outfits and jewelry.

Meghan Markle evokes gasps with her choice of earrings

Since her whirlwind night, which included a Woman of Vision award and an alleged car chase, Meghan Markle has kept away from the cameras. However, she spared a few minutes to encourage junior leaders who are working for a good cause. The style of the video was reminiscent of their time as royals, which consisted of them making several interactive videos. But the same cannot be said about Markle’s personal style.

At 41, the Duchess has definitely found the fountain of youth as she looks glowing as ever. But a closer look at her earrings tells us that the fountain of youth is clearly not close to the fountain of wealth because Markle’s earrings, albeit gold, were only $150.

This touch of affordability and sustainability looked great on the Duchess, but it is more up-to Kate Middleton’s style. Famous as the Duchess of deluxe, the $150 price tag of her earring is making people wonder if there really is some truth to reports about the Sussexes failing financial conditions.

Have the Sussexes emptied their treasury?

When Meghan Markle and Prince Harry walked out as senior royal members, there wasn’t much for them to pack. The Sussexes lost the eligibility for royal allowances. Furthermore, the Duke also chose to pay his own expenses in order to keep the Frogmore Cottage. Call it rule or revenge, but King Charles has deprived him even of that. Understandably, fans were concerned about how the Californian royals will preserve their treasury.

The interest in their pockets peaked as their Spotify deal fell off. Under such conditions, for Meghan Markle to sport an affordable earring, although a good fashion look, is not making their financial conditions look good. Luckily, Prince Harry and Netflix are cooking up a solution.
