Meghan Markle was allegedly livid after palace aides sent back designer freebies: report
Keeping free designer outfits is reportedly against royal protocol
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Stacks of freebie designer clothes poured in when Meghan Markle started dating Prince Harry — and the future duchess had furious fights with palace aides who sent them all back, according to a new report.
Keeping the free designer fashions sent by major labels is fine for an actress — but it’s against royal protocol, sources told the Sun.
Markle was livid when told she couldn’t keep the duds, which were sent to her at Kensington Palace after news broke that she was Prince Harry’s girlfriend, the Sun reported.

"As an actress it was perfectly acceptable to take freebies sent by fashion chains and designer labels," one source told the UK paper.

Prince Charles eventually picked up the tab for Markle’s wardrobe expenses after she married Harry in May 2018.
