Princess Eugenie slammed for controversial outfit

People may be in a flurry over Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s appearance overnight but there was another royal who stepped out alongside the couple, who is causing a stir of her own.

A newly-engaged Princess Eugenie arrived at the Commonwealth Youth Forum just before her cousin, Prince Harry and his fiancé, Meghan Markle.

And royal fans all over the internet are divided about what they think about the 28-year-old’s controversial outfit.

Princess Eugenie beamed from ear-to-ear when she arrived at the event in London, wearing a $230 floral day dress by the brand Whistles.

She matched the pretty dress with a pair of black knee-high boots by Isabel Marant, which left many wondering if her outfit was appropriate for such a formal occasion.

The arguments online range from people who think her dress is too short to other who are not big fans of her boots.

But Princess Eugenie has never been one to listen to the haters and has actually already worn this exact outfit when she appeared at a function with her sister, Princess Beatrice, back in 2017.

She wasn’t the only royal to cop some flak over their outfit on the day as bride-to-be Meghan Markle was also slammed over her $2,200 Altuzarra pinstripe dress.

She removed her jacket once inside the event, which according to some is a breach of royal protocol.

Royal guidelines apparently state that it is 'unladylike' for a woman to undress in public.

The ridiculous arguments online about the royal women’s style fail to take in that it was actually the hottest day of the year in the UK and they are entitled to dress however they like.
