Meghan Markle Is Criticized for Her Hair Getting Messy in the Wind

Ever since getting engaged to Prince Harry in November 2017, Meghan Markle — now the Duchess of Sussex — has essentially been living under the world's microscope. Every inch of her appearance has been heavily scrutinized and unfairly criticized, but the latest case just might set the record for the most ridiculous: This week, Internet commenters around the globe took issue with — checks notes — Meghan's hair blowing in the wind.

On Thursday, Meghan accompanied Queen Elizabeth II on her private train for a one-on-one royal outing to Cheshire in Northern England. The pair looked quite happy to be spending time together, despite the fact that they were battling gale-force winds the entire time they were outside. According to the BBC, Storm Hector hit the U.K. and Ireland on Thursday, bringing heavy rains to some parts of the region and strong winds of up to 74 miles per hour. The countrywide phenomenon was so strong that it caused lasting damage to many homes and trees, but some people still took it upon themselves to shame Meghan for something that happens to nearly everyone with long hair who dares walk outside.

"You should have informed Meghan Cheshire is having high winds so she could have tied her hair back," one person replied to the official Kensington Palace Twitter account's photo of the Duchess and Queen together. "Agree. She looks sloppy with her hair loose...." another added. Fortunately, several others pointed out the obvious, tweeting back that, in fact, Meghan can not control the weather, and that "the wind blows hair, it happens."

It appears Meghan can't escape the criticism regardless of what she does. It's worth pointing out that when Meghan does wear her hair up, she's criticized for that, too. The good news: We have a feeling the Duchess is far too busy traveling with the Queen and taking on official royal duties to read petty Twitter comments.
