Copycat Scandal Exposed! Meghan Markle’s Disturbing Obsession with Princess Catherine

The royal family has seen its fair share of scandal, but Meghan Markle’s latest move has left even her staunchest defenders in shock. The Duchess of Sussex has once again been accused of mimicking the Princess of Wales, Catherine, in what royal insiders are calling her “deeply unsettling obsession.”

Ever since stepping into royal life, Meghan has been criticized for attempting to replicate the legacy of the late Princess Diana. However, recent events suggest that her fixation has now turned toward Catherine—a woman she once dismissed as dull and uninspiring. Now, royal watchers claim that Meghan’s attempts to emulate the future queen have reached an alarming level.

The controversy erupted when Meghan unveiled the rebranding of her lifestyle venture, changing the name from American Riviera Orchard to As Ever. However, it wasn’t the name change alone that ignited outrage—it was the promotional image accompanying it.

In the newly released photograph, Meghan is seen running barefoot across a grassy field in a flowing white dress, hand-in-hand with her daughter, Princess Lilibet. The image, intended to exude warmth and maternal bliss, instead sparked an internet frenzy as royal watchers immediately noted its uncanny resemblance to a 2018 photo of Catherine at the Maserati Royal Charity Polo Trophy.

The similarities were undeniable—from the dress style to the pose, down to the very essence of the picture. Social media erupted with outrage.

“This is beyond creepy,” one royal fan wrote on X. Another remarked, “Meghan Markle needs to stop. She’s cosplaying Catherine now, just like she did with Diana. It’s disturbing.” Others pointed out that Meghan had never been seen in such a dress before, questioning if this was yet another attempt to insert herself into Catherine’s narrative.

For those who have followed Meghan’s trajectory, this isn’t the first time she has been accused of imitating Catherine’s style, mannerisms, and even public initiatives. Over the years, royal commentators have pointed to:

• Fashion choices – From coat dresses to signature Catherine hairstyles, Meghan has frequently worn outfits strikingly similar to those the Princess of Wales previously debuted.
• Charitable endeavors – Meghan’s so-called groundbreaking projects have often mirrored initiatives launched by Catherine, sometimes even rebranded versions of existing royal charities.
• Public appearances – Even the way Meghan interacts with the public—her hand gestures, head tilts, and scripted empathy—seems eerily reminiscent of Catherine’s natural warmth.

But why would Meghan, who has repeatedly bashed the royal institution, go to such lengths to mirror a woman she allegedly holds in contempt?

Experts believe the answer lies in one word: envy.

According to palace insiders, Meghan’s resentment toward Catherine has been festering for years. “Meghan wanted to be the most adored royal woman—the center of attention,” a former courtier revealed. “But when she realized that Catherine’s grace and dignity could never be matched, she became fixated on tearing her down—or worse, trying to become her.”

Prince Harry’s memoir, Spare, provided a glimpse into Meghan’s frustration, painting Catherine as cold and unwelcoming. However, sources within the royal household paint a different picture. They claim that Catherine made numerous efforts to welcome Meghan into the family—only to be met with hostility and jealousy.

Amid this growing tension, King Charles is said to be deeply concerned about Meghan’s relentless attacks on Catherine. Sources suggest that he has privately urged Prince Harry to distance himself from his wife’s antics before irreversible damage is done to the monarchy’s image.

“The King is heartbroken,” a senior royal aide disclosed. “He never wanted this division between his sons, but Meghan has driven a wedge so deep that reconciliation seems impossible. And now, with her disturbing fixation on Catherine, the situation has reached a new level of absurdity.”

Adding fuel to the fire, Meghan’s rebranded lifestyle company, As Ever, has already landed in hot water for allegedly stealing the name from a New York-based business. The original company, run by designers Mark Kesky and Estri Dal, specializes in vintage and handcrafted clothing.

The couple, blindsided by Meghan’s sudden announcement, took to social media to defend their brand. “Thank you to those who have supported our small family business, As Ever, for years,” they wrote—a subtle dig at Meghan’s apparent appropriation of their name.

It seems that no matter how much she tries to reinvent herself, Meghan Markle cannot escape controversy.
