AceShowbiz - Kate Middleton's new video on Instagram sparked chatter among fans of Meghan Markle. After Kate shared the clip on Instagram on Saturday, May 13, supporters of the Duchess of Sussex quickly accused the Princess of Wales of copying one of Meghan's styles.
In the said video, Kate could be seen looking stunning while donning a billowing, one-shouldered blue dress by Jenny Packham. The 41-year-old wife of Prince William recorded her piano performance of an instrumental version of "Stefania" at Windsor Castle ahead of the Eurovision 2023 finale.
She joined last year's Eurovision winners, Ukraine's Kalush Orchestra, for the piece. It also seemed that the mom of three paid tribute to one of the colors of the war-torn country's flag with the bright blue frock.
The fans of the former "Suits" artist took issue with Kate's blue gown, which looked like the one the Duchess of Sussex wore to the NAACP Awards back on February 26. "Kate is copying Meghan again. Same color. Same shoulder. Kate is soooooooo dull," one fan noted, blasting the Duchess of Cambridge.
"I thought royal insiders and palace sources said it was filthy and classless for royalty to wear off-the-shoulder dresses like the one Meghan the Duchess of Sussex wore to the @NAACP Awards," one person added.
Another Twitter user posted a side-by-side comparison of the two wearing their blue gowns. "I guess it is only against protocol when the Black duchess does it & not Kate Middleton," the person said.
However, some others pointed out that Princess Diana once wore a similar gown. "Diana did it first," a fan shared a picture of Princess Diana donning a one-shouldered blue frock at a 1996 event in Australia.
Meanwhile, Meghan debuted a new hairstyle while meeting some Californian students from their local youth group, AHA! Santa Barbara with Prince Harry. For the outing, she styled her silky hair in loose waves which looked similar to her sister-in-law's usual look.
Meghan paired her then-new hair with a chic black dress and gold bangles. The mom of two finished her elegant look with a smoky eyeshadow and nude lipstick.
During the hour-long session, the couple talked about the ways in which they can improve feelings of insecurity and peer-pressure young people may face while using social media. They additionally opened up a conversation with the teenagers to try and find solutions together.
