Despite previously backing Meghan Markle, one columnist has now said they “can no longer support her”.

Meghan Markle has plummeted “from Duchess to D-list'” after making an “unforgiveable” fashion faux paus at a recent event, it has been claimed.

After claiming she has overlooked “countless red flags”, columnist Liz Jones wrote in her latest Daily Mail column that she can’t “overlook that red dress”.

Meghan attended the LA Children’s Hospital Gala on Saturday night, opting for a recycled £4,595 ($5,990) red Carolina Herrera dress for the event in Los Angeles.

The dress, which Meghan previously wore to an event in 2021, has caused a stir amongst royal fans and readers online – with Ms Jones now weighing in on Meghan’s latest look.

She wrote: “Yes, I suddenly found myself cringing with second-hand embarrassment when I saw those pictures. And once you have that feeling, you can’t go back.”

She continued: “I’m sorry to say, in that ill-fitting dress you didn’t look like a regal royal – you looked diminished.

“That’s when I realised that what you now represent is so small as well: Meghan has gone from Duchess to D-list.”

Speaking on Meghan’s decision to wear the dress to an event such as this, she added: “And yes I did think, hmmmm, Catherine would have been covered up, in something lovely, loose and floaty.

“To be so exposed is unforgivable. It wasn’t the time or the place for flesh.”

The columnist, who has claimed she would ‘block” Meghan if she were able to, described the dress as “a bit tacky”.

The Duchess attended the event alone on Saturday, with her husband Prince Harry embarking on various solo overseas over the past few weeks.

The Duke of Sussex travelled to London last week for the WellChild Awards following a short stay in New York City last month.

He then travelled to where he has been promoting his charity Sentable. Meghan is said to have stayed in California with their children, Archie, 5, and Lilibet, 3.
