Princess Katherine of Wales is setting an example for Megan Markle on maintaining grace amid the royal controversies.
Despite facing accusations, Katherine refrains from commenting and chooses to stay silent, demonstrating a strong and stoic demeanor. Brand expert Denise Palad Davies, who has insight into the princess's approach, notes that Katherine's response to the accusations is to rise above them, carrying on with her life as usual. Rather than fueling attention with responses, Katherine remains calm, displaying resilience akin to the queen.
Palad Davies emphasizes that Katherine won't let the absurd accusations affect her, and she maintains a positive public image. Even amid challenges, Katherine continues to engage in public events with grace, drawing positive press coverage.
In contrast, Megan, in an attempt to emulate Katherine's style, has been seen sporting power suits, such as a brown pantsuit at Misan Harman's event. Megan's fashion choices diverge from her previous off-the-shoulder and casual styles, perhaps influenced by Katherine's adoption of power suits for royal engagements.
The sussexes' recent actions, like dropping a charity work clip right after Katherine's Christmas baby Bank initiative, have raised eyebrows. Former BBC journalist Tom Bower suggests that Megan's ambition is to become queen, seeking global fame and power. Bower believes that Megan and Harry are thin on substance, relying on sensationalism and disloyalty for attention.
Jenny Bond, a former BBC royal correspondent, supports this view, stating that Megan struggled with being a junior royal and found it challenging to accept Kate's senior position in the strict hierarchical structure of the royal family. Megan's discomfort with a subordinate role may stem from her previous independent and outspoken career as a feminist.
