It’s no secret that Meghan Markle has often been compared to—and accused of copying—Kate Middleton. But the latest drama takes things to a whole new level. This is what happens when you’re so insecure and unsure of who you are that you feel the need to mimic someone else, even after being called out for it repeatedly. And this time, it’s not just about copying Kate—it’s about breaking royal protocol, something Meghan and Harry seem to do all too often.

Let’s rewind for a moment. Recently, Kate Middleton and Prince William shared a heartwarming photo of themselves holding hands and sitting on a blanket in the woods. The image, which was posted earlier in the day, showed William kissing Kate on the cheek—a sweet, genuine moment that perfectly captured their bond. It was classic William and Catherine: understated, elegant, and full of warmth.

But then, as if on cue, Meghan Markle decided to roll out of bed (reportedly around 11:00 AM, after staying up until 4:00 AM—allegedly “hitting the sauce”) and saw what Kate and William had posted. And what did she do? She scrambled to put up her own post, trying to replicate the same vibe. Because, of course, she did. This isn’t the first time Meghan has been accused of copying Kate, and it certainly won’t be the last. But this time, it’s not just about imitation—it’s about Meghan’s apparent lack of originality and her constant need to compete with the Cambridges.

 

Meghan’s post featured a photo of her and Prince Harry sharing a kiss, with the caption: *“Back home taking care of our babies (yeah, right—because you had to go back after running out of ‘narcotics’), missing my Valentine as he continues at the Invictus Games, changing lives and reminding us all of the power of healing and resilience through these incredible veterans and their families. Beyond proud of my husband and what he’s created.”* She added, *“My love, I will eat burgers and fries and fish and chips with you forever. Thank you. #LoveWins.”*

Now, let’s break this down. First, the timing of Meghan’s post is suspiciously close to Kate and William’s, which raises eyebrows. Second, the hashtag #LoveWins—an LGBTQ+ slogan—has left many wondering why Meghan would use it in a post about her husband. Is she trying to send a message? Or is this just another example of her trying to stay relevant by latching onto trending topics? Either way, it’s confusing and feels out of place.

What’s even more frustrating is how Meghan’s post has once again shifted the focus away from the real purpose of the Invictus Games: the veterans. Despite her claims of being “beyond proud” of Harry and his creation, the mainstream media coverage of the event has been dominated by stories about Meghan and Harry—not the brave men and women competing. Where are the reports about who won gold, silver, or bronze? Where are the inspiring stories of resilience and triumph? Instead, all we’re seeing is Meghan’s attempt to make the event about herself.

This isn’t the first time Meghan has been accused of copying Kate. From her fashion choices to her public appearances, Meghan has often been compared to the Princess of Wales. But this latest incident feels particularly tone-deaf. While Kate and William’s post was a genuine, heartfelt moment, Meghan’s feels calculated and staged. It’s as if she’s trying to prove something—but to whom? And why?

The truth is, Meghan’s constant need to mimic Kate highlights her own insecurities. She doesn’t seem to know who she is or what she stands for, so she borrows from others—especially Kate. But here’s the thing: Kate Middleton has spent years cultivating her role within the royal family. She’s earned the respect and admiration of the public through her grace, dedication, and authenticity. Meghan, on the other hand, seems to be constantly searching for validation, often in all the wrong places.

And let’s not forget the ongoing drama between Meghan and Harry. Reports suggest that the couple was fighting before Meghan left the Invictus Games early, which makes her post about “missing my Valentine” feel even more disingenuous. If they were truly happy, would she need to post such a staged photo? Or is this just another attempt to create a narrative that doesn’t reflect reality?

At the end of the day, Meghan’s actions speak volumes. Her need to copy Kate, her constant need for attention, and her inability to let the Invictus Games be about the veterans all point to one thing: insecurity. She’s trying so hard to prove something—to herself, to the public, to the royal family—but in doing so, she’s only highlighting her own lack of originality.

 

Meanwhile, Kate and William continue to do what they do best: lead with grace, humility, and authenticity. They don’t need to copy anyone because they’re secure in who they are and the roles they play. And that’s the difference between the two couples. One is focused on service and duty; the other is focused
