Meghan Markle seems to have made a bold move that once again puts her in competition with Kate Middleton — and the public is noticing.
Recently, Meghan and Prince Harry signed a new deal with Netflix and announced upcoming content for this year. This includes a Christmas special episode from Meghan, which will be part of her “With Love, Meghan” show.
This is where the conflict begins.
Kate Middleton has been hosting the royal family’s annual Christmas carol concert for years — it’s a beloved royal tradition that focuses on unity, family, and warmth. Many royal fans feel that Meghan’s new Christmas-themed episode is purposely timed to compete with Kate’s well-known holiday tradition.
Royal expert Kinsey Schofield says this is not the first time the Sussexes have tried to release something at the same time as a royal event. She believes Meghan is trying to create her own tradition to “steal the spotlight” from the royals — making it look more like a marketing move than a heartfelt celebration.
She also pointed out that while Kate’s Christmas concert feels genuine and touches themes like love and togetherness, Meghan’s version feels more like a business move linked to her lifestyle brand and product launches.
According to Schofield, even though Prince Harry recently tried to offer his schedule to avoid overlaps with the royal family, this new Christmas special could still cause friction — especially in the eyes of the public.
