Oh, the Daily Mail strikes again** with its latest over-the-top headline: "Burgundy Takes the Crown as the Royal Color of the Season for Kate, Zara, and Beatrice—But Meghan Wore It First!"
First, let’s dive into Meghan Markle and her ongoing, almost comical quest to claim “firsts” in the fashion world. This time, she wants us to believe she pioneered *burgundy*. Yes, *burgundy*—a color that’s been around since the dawn of... well, forever. Meghan supposedly set the trend in 2018 when she wore a burgundy coat and dress. Bravo, Meghan! You wore a color that’s existed for centuries. Revolutionary? Not exactly.
Now, let’s rewind and take a look at the royals who allegedly "stole" Meghan’s thunder: Zara Tindall, Princess Catherine, and Princess Beatrice, who had the audacity to wear burgundy this season.
- **Zara** wowed in a velvet trouser suit at the Christmas carol concert—elegant and striking.
- **Catherine** (as always) stunned in a bespoke Alexander McQueen coat paired with perfectly coordinated accessories—absolute perfection.
- **Beatrice** charmed in a silk floral dress, radiating royal elegance.
And yet, the claim is that these women somehow robbed Meghan of her burgundy moment.
Oh, but wait—there’s a critical piece the Daily Mail conveniently forgot. **Meghan wasn’t the first to wear burgundy.** Let’s not ignore the Queen herself, who donned burgundy back in 2014. That’s right—Queen Elizabeth II, the true royal trailblazer, wore it years before Meghan.
And let’s not stop there. Catherine rocked burgundy in 2011 during her first Christmas with the royal family. Zara? She’s been in the public eye since childhood. There’s likely a photo of young Zara in a burgundy dress somewhere in the archives. But why let facts get in the way of a catchy headline?
To make matters even more ridiculous, we should remember that burgundy isn’t some groundbreaking, exclusive shade Meghan can lay claim to. People have been wearing it for centuries. Honestly, Meghan might as well start saying she invented sliced bread or was the first person to hail a cab—it’s getting that absurd.
Her apparent obsession with being “first” in everything is edging into cringe territory. And let’s be real: Meghan’s attempt at wearing burgundy didn’t exactly set the fashion world on fire. Her infamous red pantsuit? Let’s just say it probably looked better on the hanger.
Every time she steps out in these outfits, she manages to make even high-fashion pieces look... off. Wrinkled fabrics, odd fits, and accessories that scream last-minute scramble rather than polished royal elegance. Meghan’s style often comes across as messy and confusing, more barbecue-ready than royal event-worthy.
Meanwhile, **Zara, Catherine, and Beatrice continue to shine**, effortlessly wearing burgundy as though it were made for them. Meghan’s attempt to claim the color feels more like a desperate grab for attention than a genuine fashion statement.
To anyone still clinging to the idea that Meghan is the original “burgundy queen”: the color has been around for centuries. It’s timeless, not some exclusive shade she discovered in 2018.
Maybe next time, Daily Mail, a little fact-checking wouldn’t hurt before publishing another overblown headline. Until then, Meghan can continue her reign as the self-proclaimed first at... well, everything—even when it’s not remotely true.
