Meghan Markle is reportedly "triggered" by Princess Catherine's continued adherence to traditional royal dress codes, according to a royal insider. The source compared the Duchess of Sussex's approach to fashion with that of the Princess of Wales, suggesting that Meghan's frustration stems from seeing Kate uphold the same traditions that Meghan felt constrained by during her time as a working royal.
The insider told Radar Online: "Seeing Kate continue to follow many of those same traditions can be a source of frustration because it brings back memories of a period when Meghan felt constrained by rules she never fully agreed with." Meghan has previously expressed her dislike of certain royal dress code elements, such as wearing nude hosiery, which she described as feeling "inauthentic." In contrast, Catherine is expected as a senior working royal to maintain "a polished, consistent image" during official engagements, the source added.
The analysis implies that Catherine has embraced the royal wardrobe requirements more successfully than Meghan. This comes amid ongoing discussions about the differing approaches of the two duchesses to royal life.
