Meghan Markle sparks comparison to Kate Middleton with latest lifestyle brand photo
In the newly released image, Meghan Markle is seen beaming on a garden swing, wearing a flowing yellow puff-sleeve dress, her long brunette hair catching the breeze. The photo, shared with the caption “No more sleeps,” is part of her promotional push for As Ever.
While Meghan has previously used garden settings to showcase her brand, this particular scene drew immediate comparisons online for its familiar composition and mood, reports Daily Mail.

Observers were quick to point out its resemblance to a 2019 photograph of Kate, who posed on a similar rope swing in a garden she helped design for the Chelsea Flower Show.
That image, which became emblematic of Kate’s “Back to Nature” initiative, is widely considered one of her most memorable and meaningful moments in public life. The similarities between the two shots have reignited debates about Meghan’s branding choices and the ongoing comparisons between the two Duchesses.
Meghan Markle’s swing photo sparks copycat claims
Online users and royal watchers didn’t waste time drawing parallels. “She’s clearly channeling the Kate aesthetic,” one user wrote, while another added, “Of course she copied the Princess of Wales. Not an original thought in that pea sized brain of hers.”
Critics accused Meghan of mimicking the Princess of Wales once more, saying, “She has always been a stalker of Catherine since before she met Harry she was talking about Catherine.”
Another user commented, “Sick of Markle copying Princess Catherine, in everything. Hasn’t she got a brain.”
One user quipped, “Megain will always be a poor copy of Kate and boy how much she hates that.”
The comments lit up with Princess of Wales supporters rallying behind Kate, saying, “To me, this is more a copy of Catherine ‘s video released last year after her health battles, Catherine’s long flowing cotton dresses.”
One user hit back, “Poor old MeAgain tries so hard to emulate Kate but never even comes close.”
