Meghan Markle just pulled off the ultimate fashion faux pas

The stunning wife of Prince Harry shared a new fashion look with fans, and her designer ensemble often evokes a style debate…

Meghan Markle is ready for summer! The stunning former Suits star took to Instagram on Tuesday evening to share a plethora of fabulous, sun-drenched images with her 4.6 million followers.

“Springing into summer,” Meghan captioned the post, as she shared several other photos from her California home, including one of herself sporting a double-denim look.

The 44-year-old donned a denim shirt and jeans from the US brand Tracy James Collection. The brand confirmed that Meghan had worn their threads, penning: “@meghan rocking head to toe #TJC denim – our Sunday ‘shirtigan’ on top, paired with the iconic Upper Village jeans on the bottom. Effortless, timeless, classic,” they noted.

Although the mother-of-two looks resplendent in this look, double denim often sparks a huge debate in the fashion world, with many branding it the ultimate fashion faux pas.

It’s actually colloquially known as the ‘Canadian tuxedo,’ and in recent years, it has gained popularity again. Although many associate it with ’00s Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears at the VMAs, remarking that the utilitarian textures can look flat and overly matchy-matchy, it is now often considered the height of coolness and nods to a casual yet elevated look, just like Meghan’s latest ensemble.

Meghan’s denim shirt moments

Meghan is a longtime fan of the denim shirt. She famously sported a J. Crew offering to cheer on Prince Harry at the polo in 2022, and to read Archie a story during lockdown in 2020. Even during her pre-royal days, she often wore a denim shirt off-duty from playing her character Rachel Zane in Suits.

Meghan’s new family photos

Also in the bank of snaps, seven-year-old Prince Archie looked just like his dad, Prince Harry, as he was pictured running carefree around the backyard of their Montecito home with his father.

Harry was smiling at his son as they played together, the 41-year-old with a giant blown-up soccer ball that he rolled around. Archie was dressed in beige shorts and a blue T-shirt, with his bright red hair on full display in the sunshine.

In another snap, Meghan and Harry’s daughter, Princess Lilibet, wore a shirt that read “B is for Beyoncé”, pointing to her love of the legendary performer. The Duchess also included a photo of baby birds in a nest, a picture of her bounty of vegetables, and a clip of her chopping onions inside her kitchen.

Meghan Markle’s US Popularity Crashes in Line With Business Slump

Meghan Markle’s popularity among Americans fell in the first three months of 2026, at the same time as visits to her As Ever online shop also dipped, according to polling and web traffic data examined by Newsweek.

The Duchess of Sussex became a lifestyle influencer in 2025 with a Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, linked to her online store, where she sells produce including jam, honey, wine and other goods.

No official sales figures have been released, prompting debate about the health of her business. However, Newsweek has been using web traffic data to try to lend empirical evidence to questions about the business’s performance.

There appears to have been a decline in her U.S. popularity at broadly the same time as a significant drop in U.S. visitors to her website. Correlation does not imply causation, and the overlap may be coincidental. However, if the trend persists, it is likely to draw attention from Meghan’s team as they plan their future marketing strategy.

Why It Matters

Meghan has historically inspired strong opinions from fans and detractors alike, but since January 2023, there has been a measurable dip in her popularity in the United States.

One significant question is whether this will damage her ability to make money from her business ventures. Newsweek has compared popularity data collected by YouGov America with audience data for As Ever from the digital intelligence platform Similarweb.

Meghan Markle’s Popularity Data for Q1 2026

Meghan was liked by 29 percent and disliked by 27 percent of respondents in a poll of around 1,300 Americans conducted by YouGov over the first three months of 2026, giving her a net rating of +2. The methodology, based on YouGov’s rolling Ratings system, differs from traditional polling in that responses are collected continuously throughout the year and presented in quarterly datasets, providing a more stable measure of sentiment.

These figures represent a sharp drop from the third quarter of 2025, when Meghan was liked by 37 percent and disliked by 22 percent of respondents, giving her a net approval rating of +15. That equates to a 13-point decline over two quarters.

Newsweek has used YouGov’s ratings system because it is a useful tool for tracking popularity in detail over broad timelines.

Meghan Markle’s As Ever Web Traffic in Early 2026

Traffic on Meghan’s As Ever website appears to have slowed over the same three-month period, as measured by Similarweb.

In December, Meghan recorded around 246,000 visits to the site, of which around 108,000 were from the U.S. In January, her total number of visits rose to 268,000, but U.S. visits fell to 89,000, indicating that U.S. traffic declined despite an overall increase in visits.

The U.S. is currently the only country she ships to, making the geographic breakdown particularly significant. Meghan has said she plans to take her business global, but has not launched internationally yet.

Meghan Markle’s As Ever Website Traffic

In February, traffic fell to 213,000 visits, including about 83,500 from the U.S. It recovered slightly in March to 226,000 (94,000 U.S.), before dropping again in April to 178,000, with around 61,500 U.S. users.

This suggests a broad overlap between Meghan’s declining U.S. popularity and the fall in U.S. site visits, from 108,000 in December to 61,500 in April.

Analysis

It is too early to establish any causal relationship between the two datasets, particularly given the seasonal nature of consumer demand. Christmas may have provided a boost to December sales, for example.

Separately, a website glitch in January revealed she had around 650,190 units of unsold stock at that time. Not all visitors convert to customers, so the level of traffic recorded in subsequent months raises questions about how quickly that inventory is being cleared.
