Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton are two women from entirely different worlds, one defined by royal duty, the other by California’s easygoing lifestyle. Their paths seem distant, yet somehow they keep overlapping—whether through headline-making controversies or unexpected moments of fashion alignment. The Princess of Wales, admired for her balance of designer luxury and relatable charm, often earns praise for re-wearing timeless wardrobe staples with effortless grace. And now, in a striking twist of royal fate, she quietly steps into the rare circle once graced by the late Princess Diana and now the former Suits star.

Kate Middleton’s stunning Dior moment writes a new chapter in royal fashion, placing her alongside the timeless glamour of Princess Diana and Meghan Markle’s contemporary style legacy.

Kate Middleton turned heads as she embraced Parisian flair for the start of the French state visit to the United Kingdom, wearing Christian Dior for the very first time. Welcoming French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte, the Princess of Wales stepped out in a pale pink Dior blazer and tulle midi skirt from the 2024 collection. With this polished look, complete with Princess Diana’s Collingwood pearl earrings and Queen Elizabeth's pearls, she subtly joined the exclusive royal circle that famously includes the late Princess and Meghan Markle’s Dior moments.

Kate Middleton’s Dior debut was more than a diplomatic gesture; it echoed a royal fashion legacy. The British royal family’s connection with the French house began in 1951, when Princess Margaret stunned in a Dior New Look gown for her 21st birthday. Later, Princess Diana elevated this bond, wearing a navy Dior slip dress by John Galliano to the 1996 Met Gala and carrying the iconic handbag the brand eventually named in her honor. And while fashion moments have connected Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle years ago, Queen Elizabeth reportedly sensed deep tensions between the two.

‘Copycat’ or Coincidence? Meghan Markle’s Moves Echo Kate Middleton in Unexpected Ways

A royal cousin lifts the veil on Queen Elizabeth II’s private world, exposing the quiet truths and hidden tensions the late monarch witnessed behind the palace’s guarded walls.

Lady Elizabeth Anson, a trusted cousin of Queen Elizabeth II, reportedly shared candid palace insights with royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith, who later revealed them on her Substack, Royal Extra, as cited by Newsweek. According to Anson, Queen Elizabeth II observed firsthand that “Meghan and William, and Kate are not working well,” with particular strain between the women. While royal tensions were widely speculated, confirmation that Queen Elizabeth II recognized them early adds a deeper, more dramatic twist to the royal narrative.

Sally Bedell Smith also revealed that Lady Elizabeth Anson viewed Meghan Markle as intelligent and strong, yet believed Prince Harry lacked those qualities. Regardless of what observers or even royal insiders have said about their union, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex seem content in their California life with their children, far from royal duties. Meanwhile, Kate Middleton and Prince William reportedly maintain distance, keeping their children apart from Prince Harry. Yet, through fashion, the Princess of Wales and the Duchess find themselves sharing a timeless royal style legacy alongside Princess Diana.
