It is the typical color of the holidays, but not only. Also of opulent elegance, gold. A great protagonist even on the catwalks of the winter season and always chosen by stars for the red carpet, a symbol of sophistication and royalty. Speaking of royalty, two current style references have chosen it for public occasions: Princess of Wales Kate and Prince Harry’s wife, former actress Meghan Markle. Two public moments, but not these days. The London premiere of the film “No Time to Die”, an episode of the James Bond series, in September 2021 at the Royal Albert Hall, where the now Princess of Wales appeared as majestic as a Byzantine mosaic; while Meghan Markle presented a very low-cut sheath dress at the Women of Vision Awards evening in New York in May 2023.

Social media, keen to encourage comparisons between the two ladies, posted an ad hoc video on the profile earlier this week. So you can watch Meghan’s arrival and then Kate’s move back to back on @royal_updates__uk. Prince Harry’s wife wears a sheath dress by Michael Kors, the shoulders of which are clearly accentuated, a detail that certainly did not go unnoticed, while the then Duchess of Cambridge wears a dress with a cape by Jenny Pachkam, one of her favorite designers.

Result? Given the tense situation that existed in Buckingham Place at the time regarding the relationships between William and Harry, the father and their wives, the social “trial” was unleashed. Social media criticized the Duchess of Sussex for her choice, attitude and manner of wearing such a “cheeky” model. The adjective that summed it all up was: “awkward.” The presence of her husband Harry in the background did not go unnoticed. Almost an accessory element. The woman’s desire to appear prevailed.

In the video posted on Instagram, you can see a clear preference for Kate’s look, also based on the music chosen. The dress was customized by adding a cape. “Carriage like a true queen,” we read in the comments of some users under the video. Congratulations to the class of princess and future queen. And it is clear that she walks alongside her husband Prince William, “almost like a model”. And the challenge between the two brothers continues through their respective wives.
