The royal family constantly has their eyes on her. However, in recent times, the fashion police, who closely observe what Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle wear and the similarity of their outfits, have attracted the attention of many people.
While Meghan Markle was criticized when she was a member of the royal family, Middleton seemed like the person everyone wished Markle should follow. And yet, it seems that it was Middleton who instead followed Markle’s lead.
As Kate steps out of her comfort zone, fans of the royal family and Meghan Markle are criticizing her for acting and dressing in a way that got Meghan in trouble when she was an active member of the family. Royal family.
On July 6, 2022, for example, Kate and William made a very rare display of affection in public during a polo match. Yet fans aren’t used to seeing them kissing and putting their arms around each other’s waists.
Although there is no royal protocol on the amount of affection a couple can show, Kate and William have always been relatively reserved on this point. Indeed, it is Harry and Meghan who have always been more affectionate in public, often holding hands.
And since the latter have always been the most affectionate couple, so fans claimed that the only reason Kate and William were affectionate in public was to imitate Meghan and Harry.
Note that in May 2022, Meghan and Harry were seen kissing at a polo match. That day, Meghan wore a polka dot dress and a hat, similar to what Kate wore recently.
Although she covered their face with her hand as she kissed her husband, it was obvious the couple had shared a kiss. This public display of affection is what the public has compared to Kate and William’s kiss.
KATE SHOWED HER BODY AT WIMBLEDON
At the Wimbledon women’s final on Saturday, Kate sported a whole new look flaunting her body, something she doesn’t usually do. Indeed, the canary yellow dress and the sun hat are clothes that she is not used to wearing. Either way, she was gorgeous.
However, while some were won over by her new style, others were less impressed by her apparent willingness to display her body more in her outfits.
The people who criticize the Duchess are actually the ones who think it’s a mistake that she got praise for wearing the same kind of outfits that Meghan has been criticized for. Especially since she has already made headlines before this event.
In fact, at Wimbledon, Kate wore a dress very similar to the one Meghan wore when she kissed Harry at the polo match. The dress was black with white polka dots and tighter than usual for Kate.
The princess presented the trophy to Wimbledon men’s final winner Novak Djokovic that day and looked lovely, but was once again criticized for trying to emulate Meghan’s style. However, there was no contact between her and William this time around as their son sat between them.
The dress the Duchess wore to the women’s final was also reminiscent of a dress Markle wore to a Commonwealth Youth reception in London earlier this year.
Kate wore this outfit the day after she and Meghan coordinated their outfits at Wimbledon. While Meghan’s dress, by designer Brandon Maxwell, was sleeveless, Kate’s Dolce and Gabbana dress covered her shoulders, making her look slightly more modest.
Although Kate has never opted for this style of dress, the color is hardly surprising. All of Kate’s past looks have been relatively modest, but she’s never been shy about wearing color. In fact, the first time William and Kate introduced their daughter, Princess Charlotte, to the world, she wore a white dress adorned with bright yellow flowers, and she’s worn many other yellow ensembles in the past.
FANS BLAME KATE FOR COPYING MEGHAN AND BREACHING DRESS CODE
While Kate’s new sense of style is a refreshing change from some of her more modest royal outfits, some people think it’s anything but charming that she’s copying outfits Meghan Markle has worn in the past.
Some fans even believe that the treatment of all members of the royal family, whether they work or not, should be the same and that the press should not influence the treatment a royal receives in public.
Some fans found it distasteful that Kate wore a hat at Wimbledon when Meghan was not allowed to. Some also believe that the only reason Kate decided to wear a hat to the tennis match was to imitate Meghan.
Meghan wore one to the polo match where she kissed Harry. Another fan dubbed the fiasco #StrawHatGate and mentioned that in 2018 Meghan was not allowed to wear a hat at Wimbledon.
Still, some fans had no problem with Kate wearing the hat, but thought it didn’t go with her outfit and looked out of place. One fan even wondered why Prince William’s wife would wear this hat, especially after Meghan had to wear hers in 2018.
Other fans also felt that Kate had no style of her own, as she only ever copied Princess Diana and now copies Meghan. Other fans have also noted that royal protocols in the dressing room at Wimbledon could be changed.
One Twitter user even wondered if the rules weren’t just in place for Meghan because of her race. And many responded to the tweet in the affirmative, with one person saying the only reason Kate is getting away with anything Meghan hasn’t is because she has the press on her side.
Whether fans think it’s a good decision or not, for many it’s clear that Kate’s style is changing, and that she may have been influenced by her sister-in-law’s fashion sense
