Meghan vs. Kate: The Battle of Dresses in the Royal Family
The representatives of the royal family are bound by a strict dress code and numerous restrictions when it comes to expressing their true feelings.
However, with a keen eye and enough imagination, one can decipher clear messages from the clothes they choose.
When the Sussex couple first announced their engagement, Meghan and Kate made an effort to get to know each other better and spent time together, appearing very friendly.
It was reported that they even coordinated their outfits to complement each other at joint events.
Unfortunately, this camaraderie didn't last long, and we soon witnessed the emergence of a dress battle.
A source close to the royal office revealed how the conflict between the duchesses erupted over Meghan Markle's choice of dress at the christening of Kate and William's son, Louis, in the summer of 2018.
Traditionally, this joyous occasion was meant to be captured in a joint photo of the royal family, symbolizing harmony and love through a matching blue-white color scheme.
To ensure this, the managers of the Cambridge couple reached out to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, informing them about the dress code for the event.
However, Meghan had a different idea.
She asked Kate not to dictate what she should wear, asserting that her outfits were solely her business and that nobody could give her style recommendations.
It appeared that the Duchess of Sussex interpreted the dress code request as pressure and criticism, possibly due to previous complaints about her attire violating etiquette.
As a result, Meghan opted for an olive-colored dress, intentionally standing out from the general color scheme.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry chose to adhere to the dress code and appeared in a blue tie, just like the rest of the male members of the family.
On the day of the christening, Kate did not seek to provoke a conflict, but Meghan's behavior clearly upset her.
In a subtle act of revenge, Middleton made a striking choice for Archie's christening.
She donned a bright, knee-length dress with a crimson head accessory, capturing all the attention in the family photo.
