‘Princess, if you ever need beauty advice from a queen just let me know’: 80s icon fires back at Meghan Markle’s joke

Meghan Markle’s recent story about a failed attempt to dye her hair at home during the COVID-19 pandemic has unexpectedly started a fun exchange with a Hollywood legend. While telling the story on her podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, the Duchess of Sussex joked that her self-dyed, very dark hair looked like Cassandra Peterson’s famous character, Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. This light-hearted comment, however, was noticed by the 80s horror star herself.

Markle explained that while living in California with her family during lockdown, she tried coloring her hair herself, but the results were not great. The dye turned her hair much darker than she expected, which led to her comparing it to Elvira’s signature jet-black hair. The Duchess shared this as a funny, self-deprecating moment, but it prompted an unexpected reply from Peterson.
