\n

Meghan Markle’s look in her latest social media post appears to be a nod to the royal family which many fans seem to have missed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Duchess of Sussex<\/a>, 44, has just announced a new collaboration<\/a> between her lifestyle brand, As Ever, and Compartes Chocolatier, to mark Valentine’s Day<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In a post shared on the official As Ever page, Meghan was seen holding red balloons attached to a string tied at the end around a jar of her jam.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The former Suits actress wore a strapless black Roland Mouret dress with floral texture in the image, which was shared on Instagram with the caption, “A sweet surprise!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“Shop the Limited Edition Sweetheart Bundle featuring our Signature As ever x @compartes Chocolate Collection paired with our Raspberry and Strawberry Spreads in Keepsake Packaging – just in time for Valentine’s Day. A gift for yourself, or the one you love.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Duchess of Sussex shared a new photo on her As Ever page (Image: As Ever\/Instagram)<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\n

It has now emerged that the dress Meghan wore was the same one she had on while attending the Royal Foundation Dinner with her husband, Prince Harry<\/a>, her brother-in-law, Prince William, and her sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, in November 2018.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

At the time, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had only been married for a few months and Meghan was expecting their first child, Prince Archie, who is now six years old.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In a photo shared on social media by singer-songwriter Tom Walker, Meghan could be seen styling the dress with her hair pulled back and her signature glowy makeup.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Tom wrote on X, previously called Twitter, “I had the absolute honour of performing for and meeting The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge & The Duke and Duchess of Sussex for the annual @kensingtonroyal #RoyalFoundation dinner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“Thanks to the talented @thatsingingbird from @wearefulleffect for joining me for my last song.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

However, many royal fans appear to have missed Meghan’s nod to her previous life in Britain before the Sussexes decided to step back from their duties and moved to the US.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

They now live in Montecito, California<\/a>, with their two children, Archie and his little sister, Princess Lilibet, who is now four years old.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In fact, Meghan faced harsh criticism online by social media users who compared her her latest promotional photo to an iconic horror film character.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

According to some critics, Meghan’s pose in the Valentine’s Day post resembled an infamous scene from the It films, which are adapted from Stephen King’s novel of the same name.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In those movies, Pennywise, a sinister clown character, clutches multiple red balloons while hunting and frightening children. Social media users shared their reactions across various platforms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

One X user posted a side-by-side comparison of Meghan and Pennywise, asking. “What is Meghan trying to tell us?”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Another responded, “OK. She actually looks like Pennywise without makeup.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Additional users shared numerous images of the notorious clown character, with a third commenting, “Meghan is more terrifying than the clown.”<\/p>\n<\/header>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A fourth critic declared, “Scary!” A fifth chimed in, “Penny wise does it better.” Another commenter stated, “Pennywise Wins.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
