Concerns Over Meghan’s Expensive Wardrobe
Royal commentator Robert Jobson claims the late monarch confronted Harry as the Duchess of Sussex’s taste for luxury designer looks continued to swell — often funded through palace budgets.
The Queen, who passed away in September 2022 at age 96, was said to be warmly welcoming toward Meghan when she first entered the royal family in 2016. But according to Jobson, that goodwill shifted as Meghan’s wardrobe choices become more extravagant.
“The Queen thought that Meghan was spending too much on clothes,” Jobson told Camilla Tominey, associate editor of the Telegraph UK, during an episode of The Daily T podcast.
Jobson pointed out that although the Queen herself wore high-quality outfits during royal tours in the early years of her reign, she reportedly viewed some of Meghan’s pieces — such as a bespoke Dior gown worth an estimated AUD $121,300 worn during the 2019 Morocco tour — as “over the top and not sending out the right message.”
The couture gown, entirely custom-made, has never been worn publicly again.
