Royal commentator Ingrid Seward has criticised Meghan Markle's appearance at a recent children's hospital gala in Los Angeles.
Speaking on GB News, Seward suggested the Duchess of Sussex was "overshadowed" at the event and appeared unhappy.
Her comments come as reports emerge of Meghan's bold fashion choices and plans for a "big comeback" in Hollywood.

Seward offered a critical assessment of Meghan's outfit at the gala. "Her outfit didn't suit her", she remarked on GB News.
The commentator also questioned the harmony between Meghan's hair and dress, stating, "I don't know if the hair went with the dress".
