Catherine is criticized for wearing “something right out of” her sister-in-law’s closet for the Queen Elizabeth II British Design Award.

Princess Catherine faced online backlash after attending the Queen Elizabeth II British Design Award ceremony in an outfit that critics say looked “right out of Meghan Markle’s closet.” The Princess of Wales wore a sleek, minimalist beige gown paired with neutral-toned accessories, prompting comparisons to the Duchess of Sussex’s signature style.

Social media users quickly pointed out the resemblance, accusing Catherine of mimicking Meghan’s fashion choices despite past tensions between the royal sisters-in-law. Some praised her for the modern, elegant look, while others questioned whether it was appropriate for such a formal occasion. Royal commentators noted that Catherine typically embraces more traditional British designers, and the departure from her usual fashion sparked speculation about her evolving image. Kensington Palace has not responded to the chatter, but the incident reignited ongoing discussions about the style rivalry between the two duchesses, with fans divided over whether the homage was intentional or simply coincidental.
