Meghan Markle was criticised by fans for exposing her toes during a hospital visit in Jordan. The Duchess of Sussex stayed for two days in the Middle Eastern country, carrying out engagements to highlight the humanitarian efforts by the Jordanian authorities and a range of agencies supporting the health and wellbeing of Syrians and Palestinians who have sought sanctuary in Jordan over the decades.

One of the engagements on Wednesday, February 25, included a visit to the Specialty Hospital in Amman. Meghan was dressed casually, in beige trousers and a black top and appeared to wear open-toed heeled sandals. Royal fans were not impressed with the look and took to social media to express their views.

One user said on Instagram: “The bare toes in a hospital setting strike me as a bit of an odd choice. I wonder why she didn’t just wear the moccasins to this engagement as well since they are close-toed.”

Another one agreed: “I question this too. The outfit is fine in my opinion. It’s not a fashion statement moment. But those shoes don’t look like they fit. Her toes seem to be hanging over the edge. Why do that in a hospital?”

A third one added: “The shoes [laughing face emoji] love love her but the shoes.”

A fourth one said: “Sandals with bare toes somehow make it much less elegant.”

And another one posted on X: “Meghan Markle has had 3 wardrobe changes in one day on a humanitarian mission. She then makes the odd choice to wear open-toed shoes to a hospital. [clown emoji]”

A second one asked: “Opened toes in a hospital????”

Today, the Duke and Duchess visited Jordan’s leading cancer hospital to hear from young cancer patients and their families the stories of their battles against the disease.
