How absolutely disgusting.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYep, nothing like making those homeless women feel comfortable around you by not shoving your money in their faces, is there?\u201d someone else tweeted. <\/a><\/p>\n Another X user said<\/a>, \u201cShe\u2019s not there for the homeless though, she\u2019s there for the self promoting photo ops, so she\u2019ll need to wear the jewelry.\u201d<\/p>\n A fourth person tweeted,<\/a> \u201cWhy wear something so expensive to a refuge giving out meals to women what haven\u2019t got a bloody home.\u201d<\/p>\n The $892 dress is from the same Sydney-based designer Markle wore on her first trip to Australia in 2018.
