In a video shared last year, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry both donned poppies.
"When I saw that, I immediately made a post on Twitter that actually went viral, expressing that it makes one nauseous to see Meghan Markle wearing the poppy commemorating the noble dead of the nation.

On X, critics rushed to discuss Meghan Markle's attire.
"Who told her wearing a British poppy while 'celebrating American veterans' would be a good look," one user wrote.

"I didn't think poppies are worn on Veterans Day in the U.S., but are worn on Memorial Day in May? Am I wrong?" another person said, before accusing Meghan of "claiming front & center stage."
