Meghan Markle dripped in $35K worth of high-end jewelry — as she fed the homeless in Melbourne, Australia.
The Duchess of Sussex, 44, rocked a $26,200 Cartier Tank Française watch, a $7,950 yellow gold Cartier Love bracelet and Real Fine Studio’s gold Puffy Hearts earrings worth $780 for a solo visit to McAuley Community Services for Women on Tuesday.
Markle’s eyebrow-raising ensemble also included an apron over a $892 navy sleeveless Karen Gee Priscilla dress as she served lunch to residents of the family violence and homeless shelter.
The “Suits” alum kicked off her four-day tour of Australia on Tuesday, arriving alongside husband Prince Harry for their first joint visit since their 2018 royal trip.
Her move to wear the pricey jewelry to the homeless shelter sparked backlash.
“Nothing like wearing 11 hundred dollar earrings, a Cartier watch, and Tiffany bracelet at a homeless shelter. How absolutely disgusting,” one critic wrote on X.
“Yep, nothing like making those homeless women feel comfortable around you by not shoving your money in their faces, is there?” someone else tweeted.
Another X user said, “She’s not there for the homeless though, she’s there for the self promoting photo ops, so she’ll need to wear the jewelry.”
A fourth person tweeted, “Why wear something so expensive to a refuge giving out meals to women what haven’t got a bloody home.”
Before Markle’s solo trip to the homeless shelter, her and Harry, 41, stopped by Melbourne’s Royal Children’s Hospital, which Princess Diana previously visited on her royal tour of Australia in 1983.
For the day’s final engagement, the couple went to the Australian National Veterans Arts Museum (ANVAM) in Southbank — where Markle again wore an over-the-top outfit.
Her pricey look included a $1,000 St. Agni suede bomber and a matching $890 suede skirt layered over a $220 taupe P.Johnson Annie top.
