Summary
- Duchess of Edinburgh wore a £895 Roland Mouret dress to greet Oman's Sultan.
- Mouret's memoir details a dispute with Meghan Markle over borrowed dresses.
- The designer claims Meghan threatened to stop wearing his designs.
The Duchess of Edinburgh recently showcased a sophisticated Roland Mouret creation, a £895 'Bow-detail wool crêpe cocktail dress,' during a state visit event at Windsor Castle. She joined King Charles and Queen Camilla to welcome Sultan Haitham bin Tarik of Oman.
This fashion moment coincides with recent headlines about Roland Mouret himself. In his memoir, the designer recounted a disagreement with Meghan Markle concerning clothing lent to her. Mouret alleged that his staff mistakenly asked for the return of Meghan's dresses from the Princess of Wales's team, leading to Meghan's anger.
According to Mouret's account, he apologized for the mix-up, but Meghan stated she could no longer wear his designs. He also mentioned seeing her in a high street copy of one of his dresses the following year, prompting him to encourage her to return to his brand.
