During her ongoing Australia tour, Meghan Markle has balanced a packed itinerary of public engagements, media appearances, and charitable work. However, a new claim suggests her fashion choices may be drawing as much attention as her official duties.
According to sources, items worn throughout the tour have been allegedly linked to a platform that allows followers to shop her looks. The reported move has fueled debate, with critics and supporters offering sharply different views about where fashion influence ends and monetization begins.
Meghan Markle receives backlash for making her Australia looks shoppable, per source
Meghan Markle is allegedly facing criticism after linking outfits from her Australia tour to a fashion platform where users can purchase similar items (via RadarOnline). The duchess is said to be associated with a Los Angeles-based platform called OneOff, which allows shoppers to browse and buy pieces worn by celebrities.
Items worn during official appearances, including visits in Melbourne, were reportedly uploaded with direct shopping links.
During one engagement at a children’s hospital, Markle wore a designer dress paired with statement accessories. These were reportedly later featured on the AI-powered platform. Later, she appeared in coordinated designer separates at a cultural event, which were also allegedly listed for purchase afterward.
This move has led to mixed reactions, per sources cited by RadarOnline. One source claimed there is a “growing chorus of critics” who view the strategy as an attempt to monetize visibility. The insider reportedly added that some observers accuse “Meghan of cashing in on every appearance.” Continuing, they shared, “It’s starting to look relentless.”
Others have questioned the timing. According to the same source, promoting fashion during visits tied to charities or public institutions may feel inappropriate to some. That is because it could allegedly “blur the line between service and sales.”
Supporters, however, point to a different perspective. A statement linked to the platform suggests Markle’s involvement may be intended to “uplift the fashion designers she is a fan of.” The approach also aligns with her previously stated interest in blending high-end fashion with more accessible pieces.
