The British press loves a drama. When Meghan got off the plane in Tonga, the wind kicked up and revealed that a tag lingered on her dress near the hemline, and the Mirror and the DMIK were screeching about it as a FASHION FAUX-PAS and FASHION FAILURE!!! Y'all, to me, a fashion faux-pas is when you show up in a bikini to a white-tie event. Forgetting a tag on your dress is a bummer, sure, but it's a minor accident AND it's one that it seems no one would have noticed were it not for the breeze -- and in fact, you can only see it in very specific shots; the rest of the time it's undetectable. But here's what really sucks: Meghan's job here was to be hustled out of one outfit and into another, before putting on a confident smile and walking down airplane steps in heels, while tired and pregnant, so laying a rogue tag at her feet as a FASHION FAILURE!!!!! seems needlessly combative. And thus, it was undoubtedly someone else's job to check the tags, and I'm sure that underling is HUGELY EMBARRASSED and probably crying in a Tongan rental vehicle right now. Maybe it is my inner grandmother surging to the fore, but I just want to hug that person and remind them that life is a rich tapestry and this is but one missed stitch. Sneak some kava from Harry's suitcase -- oh, you know he's got a stash for before he head to head home -- and get some sleep. Tomorrow will be better, kid.

[Her shoes are the same Manolo BB navy pumps she wore to bid Fiju adieu](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/royal-tour-day-10-meghan-goes-green-in-jason-wu-10-2018/), and the Dior clutch is also the same. Much as I embraced the blue accents with her green dress, I also appreciate them here. It was deft to minimize the amount of overhaul between outfits.
