Royal Vibes: Meghan Markle’s Daughter Makes a Stylish Appearance at Montecito Parade
Montecito, California – The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's two-year-old daughter, Lilibet, stole the show at an Independence Day parade in Montecito.
The little princess was spotted donning a patterned blue dress, white socks, and red shoes, exuding royal vibes as she peered out at the passing motorcade during the California celebration on July 4th.
Born in the elite beach community of California, Lilibet's outfit raised eyebrows and sparked discussions about fashion choices for children.
Mary Angela Kelly, a British fashion designer and former personal assistant to Queen Elizabeth II, shared her thoughts on the matter.
“Let me tell you, especially on the West Coast, we do not dress our children like this,” she commented.
Even in private schools, the attire is more focused on cotton polos, skirts for girls, and tennis shoes.
Lace socks and leather red shoes are not the norm.
Kelly mentioned her own struggles to find floral cotton dresses, resorting to online shopping from England for her daughter's Mary Janes.
She further described the typical outfit for the Fourth of July as a jean jumper, a short red shirt, tennis shoes, and pigtails with grosgrain ribbons.
According to Kelly, wealthy families in the area do not typically dress their children in such a manner.
The choice of a long-sleeved dress and high socks for a crowded parade in hot weather raised concerns about the child's comfort.
Critics argued that it seemed highly uncomfortable for any child to endure.
Additionally, doubts were cast upon the authenticity of the photos circulating online.
Some claimed that every image of Lilibet appeared to be heavily edited or manipulated using Photoshop.
Observers pointed out peculiarities such as a black line when zooming into the photos, indicating possible cut lines in the editing software.
Rumors circulated that Meghan Markle herself altered the girl's clothes to resemble Princess Charlotte's dress.
However, skeptics argued that Meghan likely would not have the patience to dress any child and that Lilibet's biological mother would have been responsible for the outfit selection.
They also questioned the child's identity, suggesting that the photos may not even depict Lilibet.
Some pointed out smudges on the child's face, creating the illusion of a bump on her head.
Others noticed inconsistencies in color tones and suspected Photoshop manipulation.
Furthermore, discrepancies were found in the original photo.
While Harry was seen wearing a green shirt, the person carrying the little girl appeared to be a man in a brown shirt.
It seemed that Harry's arm was added to the image, showcasing his wrist accessories.
However, the shirt color was not adjusted to match, raising further doubts about the authenticity of the pictures.
Critics also questioned the presence of numerous hat-wearing individuals in the photos, speculating that they may have been added via Photoshop to create the illusion of Harry mingling with the crowd without security.
These controversies have led some to call for an investigation into the couple's activities, suggesting that their every move should be closely monitored.
Doubts have been raised regarding the existence of their children, with claims that Stephen Tyler Perry, supposed godfather to one of them, was absent from the baptism.
Supporters argue that godparents are expected to attend such events and hold the baby during the ceremony, questioning the validity of the claims made by Oprah Winfrey and others.
As the discussions continue, it remains to be seen whether these fashion choices and alleged photo manipulations will have any lasting impact on the public's perception of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
For now, their daughter's stylish appearance at the Montecito parade has certainly captured attention and sparked debate among royal enthusiasts and fashion critics alike.
