This duchess loves her gingers.
Meghan Markle wowed in a sophisticated ivory dress with a peekaboo cutout as she attended the Royal Salute Polo Challenge to benefit Prince Harry’s charity, Sentebale, on Friday — and some fans on X (formerly Twitter) think the style’s name gave a subtle shoutout to her red-headed royal husband.
The Duchess of Sussex, 42, supported the Duke of Sussex, 39, as he played in the charity match in Wellington, Fla., last week, with the mom of two wearing an ivory halter design by Heidi Merrick ($515) coined the “Ginger” dress.

Later in the evening, the Sussexes joined their close friends Nacho Figueras (who also played in the polo match) and his wife, Delfina, at a dinner honoring Sentebale, which supports young people in Africa dealing with HIV and AIDS.
Markle changed into a sleek black backless halter dress ($465) by St. Agni for the occasion, with Nacho sharing a photo of the couple on his Instagram account.
As for the duchess’ forthcoming lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, perhaps she’ll sell some ginger-themed jams.
