Meghan Markle blasted for ‘inviting comparison’ with Kate Middelton in ‘everything’ she does

Former royal correspondent Michael Cole has criticized Meghan Markle for allegedly “inviting comparison” between herself and Kate Middleton. Cole’s remarks came after Meghan promoted her new lifestyle products just hours before Kate’s first public appearance since her cancer diagnosis at the Trooping the Colour event.

Argentinian polo player Nacho Figueras, a close friend of Prince Harry and Meghan, shared images of Meghan’s products—raspberry jam and dog biscuits from her brand American Riviera Orchard—on Instagram shortly before the event. This timing, according to Cole, was an attempt by Meghan to overshadow Kate’s significant appearance.

Cole argued that Meghan’s actions consistently draw comparisons with Kate, which he believes are unfavorable for Meghan. He noted that Kate, despite her middle-class background and lack of formal training for royal life, contrasts with Meghan, who was an actress before becoming a royal.

GBN America host Nana Akua echoed Cole’s sentiment, calling the product launch timing “very odd” and suggesting that it might have been an attempt to divert attention from Kate’s public engagement. Cole questioned the motives behind Meghan’s product launch, suggesting it might be a desperate attempt for financial gain.

Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams also commented, telling The Sun that while Prince Harry might regret missing Trooping the Colour, Meghan would likely be indifferent to the ceremony. He pointed out that if the event had been important to her, she would have found a way to remain relevant within the royal family.

In summary, Meghan Markle has been criticized for seemingly trying to overshadow Kate Middleton by timing the launch of her lifestyle products with Kate’s first public appearance post-cancer diagnosis. This criticism underscores the ongoing tension and comparisons drawn between the two duchesses.
