People are talking about Meghan Markle’s legs and they need to get over it

Meghan Markle is no stranger to the spotlight these days. Ever since her relationship with Prince Harry went public, she’s been a firm fixture of the front pages.

And with that attention comes some criticism, but the latest dig at the future royal is pretty ridiculous.

Heading for a royal event earlier this week, Meghan’s legs quickly became the topic of conversation.

Back in November when she and Harry announced their engagement, Meghan was criticised for going bare-leg to the press call.

Since then, the actress has rarely been seen without tights on and again, the attention of many royal-watchers was drawn immediately to her legs when she stepped out earlier this week.

Some praised the future-royal for the decision while others criticised it, but frankly, it’s totally irrelevant.

On a cold March day, just a week after the worst weather in the UK in decades, you’d forgive anyone for wearing a pair of thick tights. And if she decided to forego the extra layer, then fair play to her for braving the cold.

The conversation around Meghan’s legs is nearly as bizarre as the one around Kate Middleton’s fingers last week.

Nearly.
