    It’s only been a day and Meghan Markle’s “royal tour” wardrobe has already got the internet talking. And not just because it’s amazingly good (have you seen her zebra cutout dress?), but also due to the fact that one outfit in particular included an unexpected call-out to the royal family. 

    On Friday, the Duchess of Sussex kicked off her and Prince Harry’s Nigerian tour—the couple’s first official tour since stepping down as working royals in 2020—in a peach-colored maxi dress with a high neck and backless cut from the California-based designer Heidi Merrick. Coincidentally, the gown’s called the “Windsor,” which is also the name of the current British royal family.

    A third added, “Done as a snub. DEFINITELY."

    Snub or not, there was no denying that Markle looked stylish, pairing the dress with a pair of gold button-shaped Lanvin earrings, a wooden beaded necklace, and a boho twisted-back ponytail with loose, face-framing pieces.
