Meghan Markle sent a message to Princess Kate with her choice of outfit as she stepped out in Whistler with Prince Harry for an Invictus Games event.

The Sussexes visited Canada in February 2024 – just two months after Kate had hosted her annual Together at Christmas event. For the festive gathering, the Princess dazzled in an all-white ensemble; a calf-grazing white coat over a white crew neck sweater, teamed with a pair of high-waisted white trousers.

Comparisons were quickly made when Meghan opted for her own ‘white’ outfit at the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025’s One Year to Go celebrations. Her snowy look included a £235 Calvin Klein puffer coat, £190 Sorel Joan of Arctic snow boots and a £360 Burberry cashmere Pom Pom beanie.

Fashion editor Amber Graafland told Fabulous that Meghan’s outfit colour choice could have sent some hidden signs. She said: “Giving a masterclass in ski chic Meghan opted for a snow bunny theme in white skinny jeans, a cropped £537 cashmere sweater and a tonal Calvin KIein coat. Adept at using her clothing to convey deeper meanings, Meghan’s deployment of angelic white could of course have a much deeper meaning. White symbolises purity, innocence, and neutrality.

“It also represents new beginnings, which could indicate a willingness to leave the controversy of the past few days behind and move on with her newly defined role.”

The start of 2024 saw Meghan and Harry embark on a rebrand, which included the launch of a new website, Sussex.com to replace their Archewell.com website. But the couple quickly came under fire with critics claming the couple were cashing in on their royal links despite having quit as working royals.

The revamped site declares itself ‘The Office of Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’, and it also links to their former sussexroyal.com website – even though they agreed to stop using the ‘Sussex Royal’ title in 2020 when they stepped down.

Royal expert Angela Levin said it was “pathetic” the couple were using the royal coat of arms. She told The Sun newspaper: “They are cashing in on their royal connections that they say they hate so much. Queen Elizabeth II would be furious because they promised they wouldn’t do that. They should be stopped from using a title that they spent years insulting.”

Under the terms of an agreement struck with the Palace, Harry and Meghan can use Duke and Duchess titles but cannot use HRH in their commercial endeavours.

Critics also noted that, despite using their titles and the royal coat of arms, Harry and Meghan make no mention of the royal family on their website.

Prince Harry is described on the site as a “humanitarian, military veteran, mental health advocate, and environmental campaigner”. His biographical profile also states that he has “dedicated his adult life to advancing causes that he is passionate about and that advance permanent change for people and places.”

Other than stating Prince Harry “lives in California with his wife Meghan, and their two children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet” the profile does not make a single reference to his family.

Meanwhile, the Duchess’s biography states that she is a “feminist and champion of human rights and gender equity”. It adds: “Her lifelong advocacy for women and girls remains a constant thread in her humanitarian and business ventures.

“In 2018, Meghan married Prince Harry, becoming the Duchess of Sussex. She has written for a number of publications and created the lifestyle website, ‘The Tig’. The Duchess of Sussex guest edited British Vogue in July 2019, which was the fastest-selling copy in the magazine’s history.”
