Meghan Markle suffered an awkward wardrobe malfunction in her Oscar de la Renta dress.

The Duchess of Sussex recently paid a sweet visit to a children's hospital in Los Angeles, where she posed for several pictures.


Meghan looked chic in Oscar de la Renta's silk-chiffon Landscape shirtdress that she'd previously worn before.

However, Meghan's dress appeared to have been ripped with a hole on the left side near her waist.

Royal fans were quick to comment on the duchess's latest wardrobe malfunction.

One social media user wrote on X: "Seriously?! Wow, embarrassing."

Another added: "I am not a fan of Meghan’s behaviour but I think it is more a zipper problem than a hole.

"Maybe she did not notice it was not zipped all the way up, or it rolled down because it was too tight?"

A third royal watcher commented: "No did she not check it before she put it on? A quick stitch would have fixed that."

Another social media user agreed, saying: "The shirt is split in the seam."

Finally, a royal fan user wrote: "Oh my!"

The £2,700 dress was paired with pointed black flat shoes by Aquazurra, worth £595.

Finally, Meghan donned an Ariel Gordon diamond hex Tennis bracelet, which retails for £4,354.

During the visit, Meghan read three of her favourite books to the children - Rosie the Riveter, Pete the Cat, and I Saw a Cat.

She also helped them with STEAM activities connected to each book.
