Meghan Markle appeared by her husband Prince Harry’s side in a new video message about keeping children safe in the evolving digital age
In a video shared on official the couople’s Archewell charity social media channels, the Duchess of Sussex, 43, could be seen outside her Montecito home wearing a black top, a navy blazer, and a poppy.
Royal fans were quick to notice that the poppy was different to that of Prince Harry’s, 40, as it did not have a leaf.
The appearance of the duchess wearing a poppy ahead of the UK Remembrance Day while living in America also stirred up memories from last year, when Meghan annoyed some American veterans at an engagement.
This is because the duchess wore a poppy brooch on her sweater during an opening of a new Navy fitness centre in San Diego, CA, last year in November, a date when poppies are not typically worn in the States.
This is because in America, November 11 is celebrated as Veteran’s Day — done in honour of the armed forces — and wearing a poppy isn’t required, unlike British custom.
Instead, poppies are often worn by Americans for Memorial Day in May, stirring anger towards the duchess as she was seen to be prioritising British tradition over American custom.
One person wrote at the time: “Meghan Markle looks like a bloody moron wearing a Royal British Legion Poppy.
“Who told her wearing a British poppy while ‘celebrating American veterans’ would be a good look.”

Before quitting life as a senior royal, Harry would accompany other members of the Royal Family to The Cenotaph in London, where wreaths would be laid.
The event was particularly important to the duke, who served in the Army and fought in Afghanistan, as he mentioned in his bombshell memoir Spare published last year.
