In the glamorous realm of royalty, where elegance and sophistication dominate, there appears to be a growing rivalry between Meghan Markle and Lady Kitty Spencer, niece of the late Princess Diana.
Meghan, often labeled the "dictator in heels," has faced comparisons to Lady Kitty, who exudes old Hollywood charm. This has fueled speculation that Meghan may feel somewhat threatened by Lady Kitty’s effortless grace and beauty. Recent whispers suggest that Meghan avoids crossing paths with women like Lady Kitty, and when they do meet, it doesn’t always go smoothly.
One woman recalled a particularly uncomfortable experience in Meghan’s office, where she was left standing in awkward silence. After a few tense minutes, Meghan finally acknowledged her presence with a cold, head-to-toe gaze that left her feeling insignificant. Meghan’s demeanor in such situations gives the impression that she prefers to keep potential rivals at a distance, perhaps out of fear they might outshine her.
Meghan’s insecurities seem most evident when it comes to her husband’s Spencer cousins. Curiously, there are no photos of Meghan with these strikingly beautiful women, not even at Prince Harry and Meghan’s wedding. It raises the question of whether Meghan feels a sense of inadequacy when compared to the Spencer family's charm and grace. Lady Kitty, with her effortless elegance, seems to embody the very qualities Meghan is accused of lacking. Meghan’s reported habit of belittling her staff adds fuel to this narrative, highlighting her insecurities and emotional shortcomings. It’s as though she attempts to assert control and protect her image by downplaying others around her.
One notable moment of comparison came when Meghan wore a wrinkled pink short suit to a basketball game with her Archewell team. Many viewed it as an attempt to shift attention away from her less polished employees, but it came off as an awkward move. In stark contrast, Lady Kitty Spencer made a stunning entrance at Meghan and Harry's 2018 wedding, donning a breathtaking green Dolce & Gabbana dress paired with a matching Philip Treacy hat. Her look, complete with dazzling Bulgari jewelry, created a media frenzy and left royal watchers in awe. Meghan, on the other hand, struggled to compete with Lady Kitty’s flawless style and composure.
The aftermath of the royal wedding brought further attention to Lady Kitty, as she gained more than half a million Instagram followers overnight. In an interview with Town & Country, Lady Kitty playfully remarked on the whirlwind of new followers, joking, "Whoops, did I take someone else’s by mistake?" Her effortless charm and grace made Meghan’s attempts at fame seem more forced by comparison.
Meghan’s attempts to imitate Lady Kitty’s style haven’t gone unnoticed either. When Meghan wore a similar green outfit on Commonwealth Day, it was met with criticism, with many noting that the fit was far from flattering. In contrast, Lady Kitty’s fashion choices consistently radiate sophistication and beauty. Meghan’s efforts to keep up in this unspoken rivalry often fall short, making it clear that, in terms of fashion and elegance, she is outclassed by Lady Kitty.
In this ongoing comparison, Lady Kitty Spencer is like a pristine mansion—elegant, timeless, and admired. Meghan, on the other hand, is often seen as trying to hold onto an image that is beginning to crumble under the weight of her own choices and public scrutiny. As Lady Kitty continues to shine and garner admiration, Meghan seems to struggle with the reality that, when surrounded by genuinely beautiful, intelligent, and elegant women, she simply cannot compete.
