Princess Leonor of Spain appeared to launch a subtle attack at Meghan Markle when she made a stylish choice at a birthday party. On October 31, Queen Letizia of Spain, 51, ensured that Princess Leonor of Asturias, her daughter, was the center of attention during her 18th birthday celebration. Invoking the Spanish Constitution as her oath, Princess Leonor officially adopted her position as heir presumptive on this momentous day.
Queen Letizia chose a remarkable outfit to commemorate this day. Instead of dressing differently, she chose to wear a repeat Carolina Herrera dress from her own wardrobe. It’s possible she made this decision to avoid distracting from her daughter’s special day.
Meanwhile, Princess Leonor made a stunning fashion statement by selecting a tailored white pantsuit from Sant Ria CNA, a Madrid-based brand specializing in creating tailored suits for men and women. She paired this outfit with new off-white leather Loewe pumps.
To complete her look, Princess Leonor accessorized with stunning gold and rose gold joyas sassa crawler tanzanite earrings. Her style choice seemed to subtly reference the sartorial preferences of modern royal women, unlike previous generations. Modern royals, including Princess Katherine and Queen Letizia, have often chosen elegant suits, making white the hottest choice in recent times.
This style decision by Princess Leonor appears to be a subtle jab at Meghan Markle, who has been criticized for her fashion choices. Meghan wore an off-the-shoulder blazer by Altuzarra with wide-leg white pants and slingback heels to the “Mental Wellness in a Digital Age” event at Hudson Yards.
Although everyone should be free to wear what they like without criticism, Meghan’s outfits have often been deemed inappropriate for the events she attends, and they appear ill-fitting. Critics have suggested her outfits could be designer samples and think she could benefit from a better fit. They also argue that her style could use a change and a stylist. However, Meghan might have a different take on her fashion choices.
