Title: The Shoe Controversy: Akwesura’s CEO Speaks Up for Catherine Amidst Meghan’s Mockery

In the world of royal fashion, every detail is scrutinized and compared.

Recently, the internet was abuzz with a debate surrounding Princess Catherine's choice of footwear.

On June 20th, as the patron of the National Portrait Gallery, she arrived in style for the gallery's reopening ceremony.

Alongside her elegant tweed and monochromatic Chanel ensemble, fans couldn't help but notice her shoes – the Akwesura bow-tie suede heels, previously worn by Meghan Markle and Rose Hanaberry.

This subtle detail sparked a heated discussion, with some accusing Catherine of copying Meghan's style.

However, the CEO of Akwesura, Edgardo Osorio, has now stepped forward to clarify the situation.

For loyal fans and enthusiasts of royal fashion, these shoes are instantly recognizable.

Princess Catherine had previously worn them at the Prime Minister's lunch before King Charles III's coronation.

But if they seem familiar, it's because Meghan Markle has also been spotted wearing them on various occasions, including a royal trip to Ireland and a visit to the Royal Academy of Arts in 2018.

Meghan herself claimed that Catherine wearing the black bow shoes to the National Portrait Gallery was a jab towards her.

Surprisingly, some fans were disappointed that Akwesura did not praise Meghan for wearing the shoes, while Catherine received admiration.

However, Akwesura's CEO, Edgardo Osorio, came to Princess Catherine's defense while criticizing Meghan.

He expressed his relief that the Princess of Wales chose to wear their shoes and highlighted that Akwesura had posted the photo of Catherine on Instagram, not the princess herself.

Osorio emphasized that they wanted someone who wore their shoes well, rather than someone who wore them too big like Meghan.

He also pointed out that many women in royal families around the world, such as Queen Rhaenyra of Jordan and Princess Eugene or Beatrice, have also worn Akwesura shoes.

In fact, Catherine had been wearing them long before Meghan even acquired her first pair.

The controversy surrounding Akwesura's choice of sides has left many speculating.

If forced to pick, the brand would undoubtedly choose the actual working royal, Catherine, who pays for her own shoes and whose husband will one day be king.

Rumors have circulated suggesting that the Sussexes were attempting to secure a brand ambassadorship or a deal with Akwesura.

This speculation arose after Prince Harry was seen wearing a Dior suit at his father's coronation and a specially marked shirt at various court appearances.

Furthermore, Meghan herself had reportedly expressed interest in becoming an Akwesura ambassador.

However, when it comes to royal fashion, Markle is not considered an icon.

Meghan Markle's approach to royal fashion has been met with mixed reviews.

Initially, she set trends and garnered attention for her style choices.

However, over time, her fashion sense became inconsistent and chaotic.

In comparison, Catherine has established long-standing relationships with renowned designers such as Alexander McQueen, Jenny Packham, and Elie Saab.

She even sought the expertise of Sarah Burton, who designed her iconic Alexander McQueen wedding dress, when Meghan proved difficult with Princess Charlotte's bridesmaid dress.

Meghan's lack of attention to tailoring has become notorious, often resulting in ill-fitting pants that drag on the ground.

Even before entering the royal family, Meghan had a penchant for luxury brands.

During her time doing commercials for Raitman's, she allegedly expected hotels to provide expensive bathrobes and slippers, according to Tom Bauer's book Revenge.

This focus on luxury and her belief that she looked good in everything she wore ultimately led to a fashion misstep.

In comparison, Catherine's style consistently shines, and her choices reflect her careful consideration of designers and attention to detail.

In conclusion, the recent shoe controversy surrounding Princess Catherine has shed light on the intricacies of royal fashion.

While some accused her of copying Meghan Markle's style, Akwesura's CEO defended Catherine's choice and emphasized her long-standing relationship with the brand.
