Meghan chose to wear a long-sleeved, full-skirted black dress with a boat neckline, complemented by a Steven Jones fascinator. Catherine opted for an elegant icy blue dress designed by her go-to designer, Alexander McQueen, paired with a hat by Sean Barrett. Prince William and Prince Harry were dressed in their military finest for the occasion.
While this event took place five years ago, an old clip has recently surfaced, showing Meghan Markle giving what appears to be a sinister look towards Princess Catherine during the event. This has sparked discussions about Meghan's relationship with Catherine. Meghan's behavior in the clip suggests an obsession with Catherine, with alleged "death stares" being sent her way. Some speculate that Meghan may have intended to create tension between Catherine and the royal family, possibly to pave the way for her own ambitions.
However, it seems that Meghan's attempts may have backfired, as recent sources have dismissed her drama with the royal family. Princess Kate has moved on from the Sussex drama, according to a friend, who emphasized that Kate is focused on the future and not dwelling on past issues. The source close to the royal household implied that Meghan's drama isn't a significant concern for Kate, as she is seen as a central figure within the Windsor family.
Simon Lewis, former Buckingham Palace Communications Chief, echoed this sentiment, describing Kate as a pivotal player in "Team Windsor." Sally Bedell Smith, a royal biographer, noted that Kate is carving out a unique and celebrated role for herself.
Jennifer Von Waldorf, a sustainable fashion consultant, highlighted Kate's strategic approach to fashion choices, particularly when it comes to avoiding conflicts with Meghan and Harry. Kate ensures that her clothing choices do not detract from senior royals and that she adheres to the expectations of her role. This approach reflects Kate's commitment to playing her role within the royal family while avoiding hidden agendas.
