A red outfit-clad Meghan Markle, who gave a speech on gender equality at the One Young World summit in Manchester, the UK, has been accused of dipping into 'layers' of spray tan to look Black and play the race card.

Body language expert Jesus Enrique Rosas claimed on Twitter that the Duchess of Sussex had deliberately ‘faked’ her appearance.

Sorry #MeghanMarkIe you still don't look black - she is nearly at the point where she could be considered as wearing "Black Face".

Self-tanner never looks even it is always appearing splotchy. I can only imagine what the tanner is doing to her expensive clothing.

She's stuck in a time warp from that era. The messy bun, white button-down shirts, bare feet. She even parrots causes and issues that were relevant 25 years ago, not so much in 2022. Where has she been for the last 25 years?

She's always ready to play the race card.

If she wanted to achieve black she has failed miserably, she looks like she’s been tangoed.

Is it because she is playing a role where her ethnicity needs to be a supporting player? It isn’t just lighting.

Some netizens noticed that Meghan Markle’s hands appeared to be a much lighter shade.

Oops forgot to spray the hands!!

Others pointed to the boos heard in the crowd and suggested that Prince Harry did not look comfortable.

Harry would normally be lit up smiling.@not today.

Harry looks miserable. She truly doesn’t care. She just needs him to hold her hand.

The Duchess of Sussex, 41, made the keynote speech on September 5, addressing the 2,000-strong crowd at the One Young World summit at Bridgewater Hall in Manchester.

This was Meghan Markle’s first public appearance in the UK since Megxit after returning briefly for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. ‘Megxit’ is a term often used by the British press after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex opted to quit royal duties.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle moved to California in 2020 to lead a more independent life, with the Duke claiming that part of the reason for their decision was the ‘racist treatment’ of Meghan, whose mother is black and whose father is white, by the British tabloid media.
