Meghan Markle and Prince Harry recently embarked on a humanitarian journey to Jordan. During this visit, a certain photograph of Meghan has stirred quite a debate, with some fans claiming she’s mirroring Kate Middleton’s style.
Despite seemingly distancing themselves from royal controversies — especially in light of recent events involving Prince Andrew — Harry and Meghan have made headlines in their unique ways. Amidst the turbulence surrounding the royal circles, the couple has channelled their energy into nurturing their ventures and upbringing their children.
Young Prince Archie, now six, and his sister, Princess Lilibet, aged four, experience a childhood worlds apart from their father’s upbringing. There’s a touch of stability in their new lives, particularly since relocating to their splendid Montecito, California, residence.
Even as they steered away from royal obligations, their quasi-royal appearances during travels have caught the attention of both admirers and critics alike. Their journeys, often resembling traditional royal tours, have not sat well with everyone back in the palace.
Such trips have reportedly ruffled feathers, notably with King Charles and Prince William. Nonetheless, this hasn’t deterred the Duke and Duchess from continuing their worldly engagements.
Claims of Imitation: Meghan Markle in the Spotlight
Fresh off their recent international tour since August 2024, Meghan and Harry have been actively involved in Jordan, touching many lives through various charitable activities. Their engagements ranged from visiting refugee camps to spending heartwarming moments with hospitalized children from Gaza.
However, during a visit to the QuestScope Youth Center at the Za’atari refugee camp, a lighter moment caught on camera has sparked a wave of reactions. Meghan kicking a football during this visit led to comparisons with Kate Middleton, sparking humorous criticism from some quarters.
Media outlets have echoed sentiments such as “She’s at it again, cosplaying Catherine!” with some stating, “It’s amusing… Meghan looks new to such activities.” Finding humor in the scenario, another remarked, “What’s surprising? They seem to be emulating William and Catherine. It’s ironic given their reasons for leaving the royal scene.”
Others joined the fray, humorously noting, “Look, sporty Meghan is on the rise,” and expressing the notion of Meghan’s alleged fixation on Kate Middleton.
The Sporty Legacy of Kate Middleton
Kate Middleton’s well-documented enthusiasm for sports has always set her apart. From hands-on participation in major sporting events to her role as patron of the Rugby Football Union, her love for sports is evident.
It’s noteworthy that Kate has engaged in rugby drills with professionals from Maidenhead Rugby Club and has an enduring penchant for tennis. Not long ago, in September 2021, Kate was seen indulging in a spot of football during her visit to Northern Ireland’s City of Derry Rugby Club.
