Meghan Markle appeared in a long red dress when she and her husband Prince Harry arrived in Tonga. They were greeted by Tonga's Princess Angelika Latufuipeka, who appeared to have noticed Meghan's dress tag sticking out of the garment.
The red dress worn by the Duchess was a nod to Tonga's national color. Created by label Self-Portrait, the dress sells for £400 ($515) on the designer's website.
Commentators online were left bemused by the incident.
#MeghanMarkle has a team there to help her with her wardrobe, maybe you should be asking yourselves why no one removed the tag. Why wasn't it removed when she bought it. Or before Meghan or her team were packing her clothes for the #tour?

I wonder who was the one to tell her, was it Harry? or was it some random person with balls to go up to her and let her know lol

With so many outfit changes I think the Duchess can be forgiven for this…the tag still attached to her Self Portrait dress @9NewsAUS #royaltour pic.twitter.com/zxgqvG61lT
