Christmas morning at Sandringham brought with it a heartwarming royal tradition—the walk to St. Mary Magdalene Church. Among the family was Princess Beatrice, glowing with her pregnancy, joined by her husband Eduardo Mapelli Mozzi and her adorable stepson Christopher Woolf. But let’s get straight to the point—this wasn’t just a walk; it was a subtle masterclass in how to be pregnant and still wear a coat like a normal person. Yes, Meghan, we’re looking at you.
Let’s start with Beatrice. The princess made the decision to forgo her Italian holiday plans on medical advice in order to spend Christmas with the royal family. She looked radiant in a belted tan coat over her baby bump—simple, elegant, and perfectly fitting. There were no dramatic coat flippings every few seconds to remind everyone she was pregnant, no over-the-top gestures for attention—just a glowing mom-to-be enjoying the holiday festivities.
Now, let’s rewind to Meghan Markle’s infamous "coat chronicles." Remember how she made a spectacle out of every pregnancy announcement? Constantly flipping her coat open to subtly show off her belly, as if we wouldn’t know she was pregnant otherwise. It was as if her pregnancies were announced while the ink on the test was still drying, and somehow, she just couldn’t find a coat that fit.
Meanwhile, Beatrice is in her third trimester—yes, third—and her coat fits perfectly. Take note, Meghan: if you’re going to be royal, at least invest in a maternity coat. Better yet, follow Beatrice’s example and let your pregnancy speak for itself, without turning it into a full-blown media event.
When it comes to family dynamics, Beatrice and Edo seem genuinely happy, blending their little family with love and respect. There’s something refreshingly normal about how they handle their lives. In contrast, Meghan’s approach often seems driven by the desire for attention. She regularly claims to be hounded by the press, while simultaneously ensuring she remains at the center of every headline.
It’s almost as if Meghan missed the memo that being royal isn’t the same as being a Hollywood celebrity. Royals naturally attract attention by simply existing, while celebrities have to fight for it. That’s why Meghan’s constant pursuit of relevance feels out of place—claiming privacy, yet orchestrating media stunts at every turn. It’s exhausting.
Let’s not even get started on decorum. The British royal family is known for its understated elegance. Meghan’s behavior—whether it’s coat-flipping, chasing headlines, or her general obsession with being the center of attention—feels more like something out of a reality TV audition than the actions of someone who is truly royal.
Back to Beatrice: she’s due to give birth early in the new year and is handling her role as a stepmom to Wolfie while preparing for baby number two with grace. No theatrics, no unnecessary drama—just genuine joy and love for her family.
So, what’s the lesson here? Being royal doesn’t require flashy stunts or endless attention-seeking efforts. Sometimes, all it takes is a well-fitted coat, a warm smile, and genuine love for family. Beatrice nailed it. Meghan, the ball’s in your court—just try not to flip your coat too dramatically on the way out.
