Markle has been accused of launching a smear campaign against Catherine even before they met. In comparison, Kate is seen as having more class than Meghan and has never attempted to tarnish anyone's reputation.
However, Meghan's fashion choices have often drawn comparisons to those of Princess Catherine. During a trip to Morocco in February 2019, Meghan unintentionally revealed a "moon bump" while wearing a dress similar to one previously worn by Kate. The incident caught the attention of royal watchers, who noticed a discrepancy in the shape of Meghan's belly during the event.
Speculations arose about the nature of her pregnancy, with some suggesting the use of prosthetics or padding. Meghan's tendency to fluctuate between tight and ill-fitting outfits during her pregnancy, in contrast to Kate's more consistent and elegant maternity style, has been a topic of discussion.
Critics argue that Meghan's fashion choices seemed more focused on accentuating her pregnancy, while Kate dressed to look good while pregnant, reflecting different mindsets. Some social media users have criticized Meghan's fashion sense, suggesting that she prioritizes the cost and designer label of her clothing over how it actually looks on her.
The contrasting approaches to maternity fashion reflect Kate's confidence in her role as a princess and wife to Prince William, while Meghan is seen as trying to assert her relevance and increase her market value within the royal family as the mother of royal children.
