<p id=”par-1_64″>Since stepping down as a working royal and moving back to the U.S., Meghan Markle has worked on several different ventures. She previously had two podcasts, produced and appeared in her own Netflix shows and <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/4-claims-in-prince-harry-meghan-markles-netflix-docuseries-debunked.html/”>a docuseries</a>, launched and then shut down a Shop My Closet, and accepted an acting gig for a cameo appearance in the upcoming Amazon comedy <em>Close Personal Friends</em>. </p>
<p id=”par-2_56″>But the biggest thing Meghan has seemed to be concentrating on is her lifestyle brand, As Ever. However, she’s been garnering more headlines lately for fashion than <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/meghan-markle-receives-huge-blow-new-netflix-stores-refuse-sell-as-ever-products.html/”>her brand products</a>. And those fashion headlines haven’t been positive. But perhaps the strangest bit of news accuses Meghan of lifting designer clothes and accessories following her photo shoots.</p>
<p id=”par-3_13″>Here’s more on that, and the Duchess of Sussex’s other glaring headlines. </p>

<p id=”par-4_22″>The former <em>Suits</em> star made an appearance in early October at Paris Fashion Week and stepped right into a string of controversies.</p>
<p id=”par-5_64″>First, the duchess was slammed for videotaping herself being driven near the same route where her mother-in-law, Princess Diana’s fatal car accident occurred. She received a ton of backlash after sharing the clip on her Instagram Stories with her feet up in a chauffeur-driven vehicle traveling along the banks of the Seine towards the Pont d’Alma tunnel, the site of <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/can-remember-when-princess-diana-died.html/”>the 1997 crash</a> that killed Diana.</p>
<p id=”par-6_42″>Meghan was then outed by new Balenciaga creative director, Pierpaolo Piccioli, for inviting herself to his fashion week show when he told <a href=”https://www.thecut.com/article/pierpaolo-piccioli-on-meghan-markle-and-balenciaga-debut.html” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>The Cut</a>, “She reached out and said she’d love to come to the show. There was no strategy or big orchestration.”</p>
<p id=”par-7_43″>There’s also a <a href=”https://x.com/ViQueenie/status/1974624285500297370″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>viral video</a> of <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/prince-harry-was-able-to-marry-meghan-markle-because-she-didnt-do-this-1-thing-in-her-past.html/”>Prince Harry’s wife</a> sitting in the front row at a show and putting her hand to her face and laughing after one model lost her footing. The clip is awkward, especially since no one around Meghan is smiling.</p>

<blockquote class=”twitter-tweet” data-width=”550″ data-dnt=”true”><p lang=”en” dir=”ltr”>Embrace traditions and make new ones this holiday season. <br><br>WITH LOVE, MEGHAN: HOLIDAY CELEBRATION arrives 3 December! <a href=”https://t.co/rTw4vC170i”>pic.twitter.com/rTw4vC170i</a></p>— Netflix UK & Ireland (@NetflixUK) <a href=”https://twitter.com/NetflixUK/status/1987927989510906244?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>November 10, 2025</a></blockquote><script async src=”https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js” charset=”utf-8″></script>

<p id=”par-8_43″>Meghan’s fashion drama continued after Netflix released the trailer for her new Holiday special, in which she’s seen in a green Galvan “Ushuaia” gown. It also led to some crying foul over a tweed Chanel dress the duchess was spotted in weeks earlier. </p>
<p id=”par-9_67″>Viewers recognized the green dress from her 2022 Variety cover shoot and one fashion source told <a href=”https://pagesix.com/2025/11/24/royal-family/meghan-markle-kept-1700-fashion-shoot-dress-for-her-royal-archive-source/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Page Six</a> that Meghan “took the dress from the shoot without asking.” Some on social media then brought up the tweed Chanel dress the actress wore on a date night with her husband in October at NYC’s club Chez Margaux, and noted that was from her 2022 <a href=”https://www.thecut.com/article/meghan-markle-profile-interview.html” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>photoshoot for The Cut</a>. </p>
<p id=”par-10_43″>However, another source claimed this is much ado about nothing as it’s all likely “a misunderstanding.” They explained, “As a royal, [Meghan] was required to archive all her looks. It was known that when things were pulled that they may not be returned.” </p>
<p id=”par-11_15″>But a different source insisted, there’s no such protocol for that and “It’s a fib!”</p>

<p id=”par-12_60″>Meghan has faced accusations in the past about taking clothes after she does a shoot. Vanessa Grigoriadis, who is a contributing writer for The New York Times Magazine and Vanity Fair, discussed that in 2024 on Andrew Gold’s <a href=”https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/heretics/id1515932214?i=1000650011747″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”><em>Heretics</em></a> podcast. The journalist claimed that Markle took “a lot of stuff” after wearing it in “a very high-profile photo shoot.” </p>
<p id=”par-13_50″>Grigoriadis then added, “What’s shocking about hearing these kinds of alleged stories is that somebody who is living in a $15 million plus mansion in Montecito, who’s just had $100 million deals, would care enough to take home some jewelry and clothes from a photoshoot that she can clearly afford.”</p>
<p id=”par-14_38″>A spokesperson for the Sussexes later reached out to Page Six and said, “The insinuation that any items were taken without the full knowledge and agreement of the on-set stylists or their respective teams” is “categorically false.” </p>
