Queen Camilla Hasn’t Forgotten What Meghan Markle Said and Just Sent a Strong Message to Prove the Duchess Wrong
When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down from their roles within the royal family, they didn’t go quietly. For years, the couple took shots at the duke’s relatives every chance they got in televised interviews, podcasts, the prince’s memoir, and the Netflix series Harry & Meghan.
While Harry’s family mostly kept in line with their “never complain, never explain” mantra they did refute some of the Sussexes’ claims with their actions rather than saying a word. And for anyone who forgot some of the things Meghan said about the royal women, Queen Camilla hasn’t and is still proving her estranged stepdaughter-in-law wrong at public events.
Here’s what the queen did recently to remind everyone again that what the duchess said is not true.
Queen Camilla completely disproves Meghan’s claim about royal women with help from Kate
One of the things that appears to have rubbed Camilla the wrong way is that Meghan insisted in her Netflix docuseries the female members of the family could not wear the same colors at the same time.
During a confessional in episode three of Harry & Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex explained that “Most of the time that I was in the U.K. I rarely wore color.” She added that her reasoning for not wearing colors was because she wanted to “blend in” with the family and did not want to “stand out” or “embarrass” them. Many viewers have since challenged that claim by sharing posts on X of Meghan wearing bright colors plenty of times.
The former Suits star also said: “To my understanding, you can’t ever wear the same color as Her Majesty if there’s a group event. But then you also should never be wearing the same color as one of the other more senior members of the family.”
Well on Dec. 25, 2024, Queen Camilla showed that there wasn’t any truth to that.
One of the royal family’s Christmas holiday traditions is to walk together to the morning church service at the Sandringham estate. As cameras rolled and crowds of people looked on, Camilla was seen first followed by the Princess of Wales (formerly known as Kate Middleton) and they were both wearing long hunter green coats. Not only were the two donning the same shade of the same color but their hats were a nearly identical shape and they both sported black boots, gloves, and handbags.
This isn’t the first time the royal ladies debunked what the duchess said
This, however, isn’t the first time the royals were decked out in the same hues after Meghan’s comments.
In 2022, days after the Sussexes’ docuseries was released and the duchess’s remarks made headlines, several members of the Firm attended Kate’s “Together at Christmas” carol service at Westminster Abbey. Kate, Zara Tindall, and Princess Charlotte all matched in burgundy-colored coats while Camilla and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh (formerly the Countess of Wessex) wore coordinating off-white ensembles.
The following week the Princess of Wales and Princess Beatrice both rocked dark green jackets as they walked to Christmas morning mass. Moreover, Sophie’s daughter, Lady Louise, opted to wear the same color blue coat as Queen Camilla that day.
