Royal fans are now getting excited about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's upcoming nuptials (there's just over four weeks to go!).

But what they're not excited about is the former 'Suits' actress' choice of dress for a memorial service.

Earlier this week the couple attended the memorial service of Stephen Lawrence, an 18-year-old British black man who was murdered in a racially charged attack 25 years ago.

Markle accompanied the 33-year-old royal - who was making a speech during the service - in a black, sleeveless, V-neck dress from Hugo Boss.

The dress was matched with a pair of nude heels, a nude clutch bag and her signature hairstyle - a low messy bun.

While the 36-year-old looks elegant, royal followers were left raising their eyebrows over the outfit.

Some called the look inappropriate, slamming her bare shoulders and "messy" hair.

"Someone needs a lesson in some decorum. Good grief," one user commented.

Another wrote: “It's a memorial service for a murder victim. In a church. Is it too much to ask of Rachel to cover up with a jacket, wear stockings, sort out that messy hair for once and stop the holding hands!”

A third simply said: "Not an appropriate dress."

Meanwhile another user sympathised with her, saying: “Give her time, she is still learning. We know it should have been a suit or a dress with a collar and sleeves. She is a fashionista of the mod world.”

Meghan and Harry will on May 19 at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle.
