Prince Harry’s Controversial Suit Choice at Father’s Coronation Draws Criticism

Prince Harry made headlines at his father's coronation on Saturday, May 6th, when he arrived wearing a bespoke suit designed by Dior.

However, the suit choice has sparked disappointment among royal fans, who took to social media to express their thoughts on Harry's attire.

Many social media users commented on the wrinkled appearance of the suit, with one person noting that it looked weathered and worn, particularly the trousers.

Another user expressed their disappointment, stating that the suit appeared faded and in need of ironing.

Interestingly, Dior's designer, Kim Jones, revealed that the suit Harry wore was actually a trial item, hence the creased look.

Instead of purchasing the suit, Meghan had borrowed it under the condition that the couple would promote the design during the coronation.

This decision seemed to have upset Harry, as he was not even given permission by his wife to buy a designer suit.

It appears that Meghan wanted Harry to emulate David Beckham's style, which may explain why he was seen rushing out of Westminster Abbey and then spotted at the airport with a hanger in his hand for his coat.

It is likely that he changed into different attire on the plane or at the airport to return the borrowed suit to the brand.

Meghan seems to believe that as long as the clothes come from a renowned designer house, she will look great in them, considering her background as a model with long legs.

However, Harry's choice of suit was seen as a significant departure from British tradition.

Men attending the coronation were expected to wear mourning suits, characterized by black jackets with tails and striped trousers.

In contrast, Harry opted for a ready-to-wear summer-weight suit with tails, more suitable for a groom at a wedding.

It is worth noting that Harry is no stranger to proper mourning suits, having worn them on numerous occasions.

He likely owns a tailored mourning suit made by British bespoke tailors.

So why did he not wear the appropriate attire?

It appears that Harry and Meghan were fulfilling their obligation to promote Dior, hence his decision to wear an off-the-peg tailed wedding suit from the brand.

This is not the first time Meghan has had dealings with Dior.

In the past, she managed to persuade Prince Charles to pay a hefty sum for a Dior kaftan.

It seems that Dior has been on her radar for some time, possibly due to its association with Princess Diana, as Meghan has been known to adopt a Diana 2.0 cosplay narrative.

Following the coronation, Prince Harry swiftly returned to California, catching a British Airways flight.

This marked his first public appearance alongside the royal family since the release of his controversial memoir, “Spare,” in which he criticized his own family.

During the coronation ceremony, Harry was seated in the third row, two rows behind his brother, the Prince of Wales, and his stepmother, the Queen.

Upon his return to Los Angeles, it is believed that Harry celebrated his son Archie's fourth birthday, which coincided with the coronation ceremony.

Despite the controversy surrounding his suit choice, Prince Harry's presence at the event undoubtedly attracted significant attention and speculation about his ongoing relationship with the royal family.
