Kate, Duchess of Cambridge has been a member of the royal family since 2011 and over the years, she has more than proved that she is a natural. We never get tired of hearing her speak or watching her carry out her royal duties at events and engagements. To say Kate has been a positive influence on the people of the United Kingdom and the world as a whole is an understatement, and it seems that she is the perfect person to someday take on the role as queen consort.

When Meghan, Duchess of Sussex joined the royal family just a few short years ago, many tabloids began comparing her to the Duchess of Cambridge. From what she wore to everything she said and did, everyone seemed to have something to say about it, especially if Kate had exhibited similar behavior before her.

Ever since Megxit came to be, Meghan has been in the public eye more than ever before. Before she and Prince Harry split from the royal family, she wasn’t a future queen, but that didn’t stop anyone from analyzing both her and Kate.

Now, experts are saying that Meghan outperformed Kate in some royal engagements.

Meghan’s life before joining the royal family

As we know, Meghan was famous in her own right long before she ever met Prince Harry. She worked hard to become a successful actress, appearing in smaller roles before finally getting her big break when she landed the role of Rachel Zane in the legal drama Suits.

According to Good Housekeeping, Meghan was pretty adamant about maintaining a certain image, and there was nothing that could stop her from pursuing her dreams. In fact, she had her goals set from a young age, spending years watching her father, Thomas Markle, as he worked in the entertainment industry as a lighting director, as well as having feminist beliefs before she even reached her teenage years.

Kate was a commoner before meeting Prince William

It is no secret that before Kate met Prince William while they both college students that she had no ties to the British royal family. She actually had a pretty typical life that most of her fans can surely relate to.

The duchess grew up in a close-knit family of five, was active in sports and enjoyed things such as spending time with her family and friends. Even after she began a relationship with the future king, Kate worked in a regular 9-5 job after graduating from college.

So, what exactly did she do? Popsugar reports that she started out with her first job at Jigsaw as an accessories buyer, and from there, she went on to work for her parent’s company, Party Pieces. The duchess showcased her talents as a photographer and marketing director before marrying into one of the most famous families in the entire world.

Chances are, there is just about nothing that can fully prepare someone to be in the spotlight as part of the royal family. According to International Business Times, Kate’s first speech left a lot of room for improvement, leading experts to believe that Meghan actually outperformed her upon becoming the Duchess of Sussex.

It’s very likely that Kate was nervous, but it almost seemed like she was trying too hard, and it was obvious that she had been coached. Meghan, on the other hand, was used to being in front of people due to her career as an actress and seemed much more comfortable speaking during royal engagements.

Although Kate was very rehearsed and didn’t have much emotion at first, over the years things have definitely changed for the better.
