Whether a future queen or a typical American mother, every mother has her own parenting methods. After marrying Prince William in 2011, Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, gave Prince George birth. Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, married Prince Harry in 2018 and had her first child in 2019, Master Archie. Both women had very different kinds of parenting. While the children of Kate Middleton are closer to the throne, a dual citizen is Meghan and Harry’s son. They are private citizens. Here are Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle’s different parenting styles.
Kate’s Three Children Were Seen By The Public
Kate was aware that when she married Prince William, she would take on important responsibilities as part of the British Royal Family. The royal family has around 2,000 official obligations globally every year. Members of the senior royal family devote their lives to the people of the Commonwealth. Their families ensure that their lives are private, while the British throne is in line with Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

While Meghan’s Son is Rarely In The Public Eye
Meghan says she wants Archie to be protected from the stigma she faced when she was a new member of the Royal Family of England. After seeing what his late mother, Princess Diana, experienced from the press, Prince Harry is very protective of Archie and his wife against negative news. Meghan and Harry said in a statement that they had no choice but to move away to escape extensive scrutiny after Archie’s birth.

The Christening Of The Cambridge Were Made Public
All of them were baptized with a replica of the baptismal gown of Queen Victoria, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. For unclear reasons, the Queen attended the christenings of George and Charlotte but not of Louis. The Most Rev. Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury, baptized all the children of Cambridge. Guests at the event were limited to the family and closest friends of Prince William and Kate. On the other hand, for each of the three children on their big day, professional photos were taken.

For Archie, It’s Private And Traditional
The son of Meghan and Harry, Archie Harrison, was baptized privately in Windsor Castle’s chapel with only 25 guests. Although the Queen was not present, it was attended by Prince Charles, Prince William, and Kate of the Royal Family. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Most Reverend Justin Welby, christened baby Archie, who also wore a royal Christian robe replica of Kate’s three children. And then, an official family photo was taken and posted on the Royal Instagram of Sussex.
For Archie, It’s Private And Traditional
The Cambridge’s Are Close To Being Successors
Prince Charles is next in line to the throne after Queen Elizabeth II. Prince William will be next, as the second in line to the throne. Third, fourth, and fifth are Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, respectively. In his lifetime, Prince William is likely to be allowed to become king. He would be ready to perform his duties, and one of his kids would do the same thing for at least one day.
The Cambridge’s Are Close To Being Successors
But Not For Archie
Prince Harry is sixth in line to the throne, so it is unlikely that he will ever be elected king. Archie was designated as “Master” by the couple because they did not give him a royal title. The BBC Royal correspondent Jonny Dymond said that Harry and Meghan had no intention of raising Archie as a formal royal family member. They decided, therefore, to forgo the royal title.
But Not For Archie
The Cambridge Children Are British
Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, was born in London and has been a member of the Royal British Family ever since his birth. Born in Berkshire, England, Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, had family ties to the British aristocracy. The families of William and Kate have known one another since 1926. The couple’s three children have deep British roots and are expected to live for the rest of their lives in Britain.

While Archie Is British-American
Although Meghan was born in Los Angeles, Prince Harry was a member of the Royal Family of England and was born in London. The couple decided to raise Archie as a “global citizen.” In his first year after his birth, he lived in England, Canada, and the USA.

The Cambridge’s Have An Occasional Trips To Theme Parks And McDonald’s
In her interviews, Kate wants to make sure that her children get to know some of the “normal” things that other children do as she talks about her childhood. She doesn’t want to miss out on her children just because of her schedule or royal status. Cai Graham, a parenting expert, said, “Kate has understood the importance of showing her kids a’ normal life,’ like queuing in theme parks and going to McDonald’s!” as Diana did.

While Archie Is Growing Up To Be A Private Citizen
Meghan and Harry talk about how they wanted Archie to be raised. After experiencing all the negative news about Meghan and Princess Diana, the couple decided to renounce Archie’s royal title. He was announced as “Master Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor,” and instead of the usual two middle names in Britain, he chose one middle name. In more private life, Meghan and Harry also have the opportunity to become “normal parents” as they step down to be senior royals.

Kate Is A Humble Parent
Born into an upper-middle-class family, Kate was married to a member of Britain’s royal family. She receives a lot of help in caring for her child than other average mothers do. In an interview, Kate said, “Personally, becoming a mother has been such a rewarding and wonderful experience. However, it has also been a huge challenge, even for me, who has support at home that most mothers do not. Nothing can really prepare you for the sheer overwhelming experience of what it means to become a mother.”
Kate Is A Humble Parent
While Meghan Admitted She Struggled With Mental Health
After Megan became a mom, she shared her personal struggle to maintain her mental health early in an interview with Today. She said, “Look, any woman, especially when they’re pregnant– you’re really vulnerable. So that was made really challenging. And then, you have a newborn, you know? It’s really a lot.” Taking up residence on Vancouver Island at the beginning of 2020 gave Meghan the privacy and peace she wanted to live in.
While Meghan Admitted She Struggled With Mental Health
The Cambridge’s Clothes Sold Out In Minutes
As heirs of the throne, Kate’s children should dress properly in public. As she prefers classic outfits, her children’s outfits are from brands like Pepa and Co, Rachel Riley, Amaia Kids, and Papouelli. After seeing the royal kids wearing them, it is quick to sell out kids’ jackets and outfits within minutes. According to Brand Finance, the two eldest royal children will contribute $7.7 billion to the UK economy, a London-based consulting firm, before Prince Louis was born in 2016.

Same Goes With Archie
For his first royal visit to South Africa, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex brought in a five-month-old Archie. He was photographed for just $20 with H&M overalls, and it was very quickly sold out. Meghan’s fans and the royal family were amazed at how Meghan’s son and Prince Harry were dressed. Meghan donated Archie’s outgrown clothes as she visited a women’s shelter in Cape Town.

The Cambridge’s Nanny Graduated From A Top College
In 2014, when Prince George was about 6 months old, Kate and William hired a nanny to help them with him. Since then, Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo has been living with the family, even taking care of Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis without additional assistance. She graduated from the College of Norland, which provides an excellent education for child-rearing. She usually sees the kids going to and from school and also playing in the park, according to Hello magazine’s report. She also helps the children at royal weddings.

While Archie’s Nanny Was Not Known Publicly
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex hired a nanny after Archie was born, but she was later let go due to a “lapse in the professional duties,” according to the ET. She met the nanny, who was “a blessing” to them when Meghan traveled to France and toured South Africa. Meghan wants the privacy of the nanny to be protected, so her identity is not disclosed. She respected her so much that she left Archie, eight months old, with her while she and Harry traveled to the UK to discuss their royal transition with the Queen.

Kate Teaches Her Kids Gardening and Art
Kate grew up with a family that developed meaningful relationships by teaching her skills. Kate said she wanted to offer her kids the same kind of childhood experience during the Happy Mum chat, Happy Baby podcast with Giovanna Fletcher.“I had an amazing Granny who devoted a lot of time to us– playing with us, doing arts and crafts, and going to the greenhouse to do gardening, and cooking with us.” She continued, “I try and incorporate a lot of the experiences that she gave us at the time into the experiences that I give my children now.”

While Meghan Loves Cooking for Her Family
After Archie’s birth, Meghan was planning on being a very “hands-on, engaged mother,” according to a source. Meghan enjoys cooking, which is probably why the couple chose a gourmet kitchen to stay at a friend’s island home in Vancouver. Daniel Martin, a close friend of Meghan’s, told King Gayle, who also takes Archie’s 1-2 hour walk, “I’m sure the baby’s going to be raised clean and green. She loves to cook, eating organic whenever she can. I see her marking her food. Totally!”.

Kate’s Silver Cross Balmoral Pram
Kate Middleton was spotted in a $3,999 Silver Cross Balmoral pushing Princess Charlotte. What else can you expect for the Pram of the Princess? In luxury and fashion, the vintage carriage is proud. The royal family has used the Silver Cross brand for more than a century. As an infant, the queen herself used it.

Meghan Broke Family Tradition With A Bugaboo Fox
Instead of buying a Silver Cross pram as a royal family tradition, Meghan chose to use a Bugaboo Fox carriage for Archie. The carriage was a gift from a friend of Meghan’s and was priced at $1,500. The Bugaboo Fox is a practical choice for Meghan and Harry because they enjoy walking with Archie and their dogs, so they need a stroller. (It’s the same stroller Pippa Middleton and James have!)

The Cambridge Children Visit Their Grandparents Often
Kate and her parents, Carole and Michael Middleton are very close. According to Hello magazine, the Cambridge grandparents live with the family in Bucklebury, West Berkshire. The Middletons watch over Cambridge’s children, while Kate and William have official duties or go on royal tours. Kate is the eldest, and the first three of the Cambridges’ grandchildren are her children. Kate’s younger sister Pippa welcomed her first child six months after Prince Louis was born.

While Meghan And Harry Are Buying Property In LA, Near Meghan’s Mom
Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, was in London when her first grandchild was born. For weeks, she stayed with Meghan and Harry to help with Archie. After stepping down as senior royals, Meghan and Harry decided to split their time between North America and Britain to live with Archie. In 2020, where Archie’s grandmother lives to have more time with baby Archie, the couple began looking for properties to buy in Los Angeles.

Now that we’ve seen the difference between the two duchesses as to how they raise their kids, let’s take a look at the difference in their weddings! Kate Middleton and Prince William married in 2011. Then, in 2018, Prince Harry met Meghan Markle, his true love, and the two married. The two weddings held in honor of their marriage were close but different. After all, William and Kate are on their way to being King and Queen Consort, while Harry and Meghan are no longer performing official royal duties. Here are some main distinctions between the two royal weddings that you might have overlooked.
Their Engagement Rings
Kate Middleton was given an engagement ring by Prince William that belonged to William’s late mother, Princess Diana. The 12-carat ring, which features an oval blue sapphire with cut faces and is now worth $400,000, features an oval blue sapphire with split faces and is now worth $400,000. It is surrounded by stunning solitaire diamonds. Meghan’s engagement ring features two of Princess Diana’s diamonds framing a center stone purchased by Prince Harry in Botswana, where the now-married couple first fell in love. Meghan’s engagement ring is worth an estimated $350,000.

Kate Is British
When Kate Middleton’s relationship with Prince William was revealed, there were some skeptics, but the couple appeared to be a perfect match. Kate attended St. Andrew’s School, Downe House School, Marlborough College, and the University of St Andrews, where she met her future husband and grew up in a wealthy Berkshire family. Kate and William are likely to meet because Kate’s family has many aristocratic connections; her father was born into wealth and had ties to the British aristocracy.
Kate Is British
Megan Is From LA
Meghan pursued her acting career, whereas Kate was born into wealth and was raised to pursue a proper education and find a suitor. She attended an all-girls Catholic private school in Los Angeles before transferring to Northwestern University to study theater and international studies. Meghan’s father was a television director of photography and lighting, and her mother was a social worker and a yoga instructor.

How They Waved To The Crowd
Duchesses are female members of the royal family. When Kate and Meghan become members of the British royal family, they are expected to give the perfect regal wave. Royal brides are expected to wave to the crowds during the carriage ride following the wedding ceremony as a sign of gratitude for the people who have gathered to celebrate. Meghan’s wave is more relaxed and spaced out than Kate’s, which keeps her fingers close together. Both ladies keep their movements to a minimum while waving to the crowds.
How They Waved To The Crowd
Prince Charles’ Different Attires
Prince William and Prince Harry’s father wore noticeably different outfits on two of his sons’ most important days, while Prince Charles’ second wife Camilla Parker wore similar outfits to both royal weddings. For the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, Charles donned his royal regalia. At Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding, Prince Charles wore a simple grey suit that complemented Camilla’s light pink dress and hat.
Prince Charles’ Different Attires
Walking The Aisle
It’s difficult to imagine the amount of pressure Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle were under on their big days in front of the world as they walked down the aisle. The Duchess of Cambridge was accompanied by her father, Michael Middleton, on her special day. Unfortunately, the Duchess of Sussex’s father was unable to attend the big event in London due to health issues during the month leading up to her wedding. Meghan walked down the aisle on her own before Prince Charles met her halfway.
Walking The Aisle
Their Wedding Reception Dress
Following their royal weddings, each Duchess donned a new gown and attended a reception hosted by Prince Charles for each of his sons and their new wives. Kate wore a classic white Alexander McQueen gown to her reception. According to reports, Meghan’s gown was designed by Stella McCartney and cost $157,000. While wearing the stunning gown, she was seen holding hands with Prince Harry as he assisted her into a blue vintage Jaguar.

Kissing The Bride
The first kiss of the newlywed royal couple drew millions of viewers. Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge kissed for the first time on the balcony of Buckingham Palace after their wedding ceremony at Westminister Abbey. Outside of St. George’s Chapel, Prince Harry and the Duchess of Sussex shared their first wedded kiss after the wedding ceremony. Both couples were beaming with joy as the crowds cheered them on.
Kissing The Bride
What The Middletons Wore
Michael and Carole Middleton, Kate’s parents, are well-known members of British society. The family has a long history of prominent lawyers and is well-educated. They’re no strangers to the British royals, as the two families have been friends for a long time. Michael attended his daughter’s royal wedding in a suit and top hat, while the Mother of the Bride wore a light blue gown. They wore similar outfits to the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in 2018.
What The Middletons Wore
The Tiaras
One of the reasons why so many people tune in to watch a royal wedding is that it is anything but ordinary. One feature that distinguishes royal weddings from the rest is the incredible headwear worn by the brides for the occasion. Kate wore a Cartier tiara to her wedding, which she received on her 18th birthday from Queen Elizabeth II. Meghan was decked out in a tiara that once belonged to Queen Elizabeth II. The Diamond Bandeau Tiara was created in 1932. Meghan’s sapphire center stone was replaced with a diamond on her wedding day.
The Tiaras
The Beckhams Were There Too
David Beckham, a star soccer player, and his wife, Victoria Beckham, a fashion designer, and former pop star, attended both royal weddings. David wore a grey morning suit and top hat to Prince William and Kate’s wedding, while Victoria wore a sleek navy dress and hat. For Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding, the couple wore similar colors, with David sporting a close haircut and beard instead of a top hat. According to reports, the celebrity couple donated their wedding gowns to charity.
The Beckhams Were There Too
The Royal Cakes
The wedding cake for Prince William and Kate was designed by Fiona Cairns and featured an incredible eight tiers. For a total of $160,000, the couple chose fruitcake as their cake flavor and had a chocolate cake made for guests who didn’t like fruitcake. Prince Harry and Meghan chose a lemon sponge cake with elderflower syrup and Amalfi lemon curd for their wedding cake. Claire Ptak is said to have spent $60,000 to $75,000 on the cake.
The Royal Cakes
The Wedding Bouquets
Despite the fact that Kate and Meghan’s wedding bouquets appear to be very similar, there are some significant differences between them. Middleton’s delicately small bouquet was designed by Shane Connolly and features all-white flowers, each symbolizing something the couple wishes for their marriage, such as happiness and steady love. Meghan’s bouquet, designed by Philippa Craddock, included flowers chosen by Prince Harry and symbolic of their marriage’s goals, such as dedication and love.

Kate Had A Maid Of Honor While Meghan Had Page Boys
As expected, Pippa Middleton, Kate’s younger sister, was asked to serve as her Maid of Honor and carry her train down the aisle at Westminster Abbey. Before Kate’s wedding day, the two sisters were extremely close and used to live together. Despite having several of her closest friends in attendance at her royal wedding, Meghan did not choose a Maid of Honor. At St. George’s Chapel, Meghan’s train was carried by two page boys.

What The Grooms Wore
Both Prince William and Prince Harry served in the military and, as is customary for royal grooms, wore their uniforms to their weddings. Colonel William was dressed in the red uniform of the Irish Guards. He was the first royal groom to wear red since Captain Mark Phillips in 1973. Prince Harry wore a military uniform from the Blues and Royals on his wedding day. He chose to wear a Major’s uniform despite his appointment as Captain-General of the Royal Marines.

What The Duchess Of Cambridge Wore
The rest of the world was eagerly awaiting the wedding dress Kate Middleton will wear when marrying the future King. The Duchess of Cambridge wore a dress by Alexander McQueen that was created by Sarah Burton. The outfit, which is rumored to have cost $450,000, was well received by viewers, who commended it for fusing elegance with heritage. Kate donned a gown with a nine-foot train and exquisite lace from the Royal School of Needlework. The back of the dress had Rouleau loops and 58 organza-covered buttons.

Kate’s Attire In Meghan’s Wedding
No one else save the bride is permitted to wear white to a wedding, according to tradition. At first sight, a lot of people thought the Duchess of Cambridge had broken the law on this one. But in various lighting, Kate’s chic Alexander McQueen coat appeared to be primrose yellow. Kate looked stunning in the pale yellow dress and Philip Treacy hat just three weeks after giving birth to Prince Louis.

What The Duchess Of Sussex Wore
The Duchess of Sussex wore a Givenchy silk gown created by Clare Waight Keller on her wedding day. Except for an open boat neckline, the garment lacked any lace or other adornments. On her first date with Prince Harry, the Duchess did don a blue dress made from the same material. Meghan’s veil was an amazing 16.5 feet long despite her small train.

The Brides’ Mothers
The big day for the Duchess of Cambridge wasn’t something Carole Middleton wanted to overshadow. Catherine Walker’s styling of her light blue dress was perfect for the spring wedding. The day of Kate’s wedding, the mother of the bride appeared overjoyed. Doria Ragland, Meghan’s mother, travelled in from Los Angeles to show her support for Prince Harry and Meghan. In a pale green Oscar de la Renta gown, Meghan looked stunning as she wed her prince charming.

The Evening Wedding Reception
Each royal wedding is followed by an evening reception. The evening parties are not open to everyone who attends expensive weddings. After the wedding, the majority of the guests changed into new attire for the wonderful night, which was private. Prince William and Kate Middleton attended an evening reception at Buckingham Palace. St. George’s Hall in Windsor Castle, on the other hand, hosted the reception for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Both events included the typical toasts and congratulations to the wedding spouses.
The Evening Wedding Reception
How Much The Wedding Costed
Both royal nuptials were substantially more expensive than the typical wedding of an ordinary person. Every aspect of the British royal family’s weddings is painstakingly planned because they have become historical events. Even without the fantastic guest list, attendance will climb. Prince William and Kate’s $34 million wedding in 2011 attracted 2,500 guests. The wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in 2018 reportedly had 600 fewer guests but cost $55 million.

Chelsy Davy’s Attire On Both Royal Weddings
Prior to meeting Meghan Markle, Prince Harry dated Zimbabwean businesswoman Chelsy Davy for seven years, on and off. When Prince William and Prince Harry were dating from 2004 until 2011, Chelsy was invited to both of their weddings. When Prince William got married, Harry and Chelsy had just broken up. The significance of the occasion, according to Parade magazine, caused a rift between Harry and Chelsy, who recognized the royal life wasn’t for her. The evening event that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle hosted did not include her.
Chelsy Davy’s Attire On Both Royal Weddings
The Queen’s Attire
Queen Elizabeth II is renowned for wearing vibrant clothing. She said, “I can never wear beige because then no one will know who I am. The Queen attended Prince William and Kate’s wedding in a primrose yellow long sleeve dress and hat. The Queen opted for a brighter green cloak over a purple dress to attend Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding in 2018. Together with it, she sported a green bonnet decorated with purple feathers.
The Queen’s Attire
The Different Royal Wedding Veils
While Meghan’s veil impressed guests and watchers at home, Kate’s wedding dress train was longer than Meghan’s. The Royal School of Needlework created Kate’s veil under tight security, and it complemented the Queen’s tiara beautifully. Clare Waight Keller created Meghan’s 16.5-foot-long veil, which included the wildflowers of 53 different countries. Meghan had asked for all of the Commonwealth’s countries to be represented in her veil design.
The Different Royal Wedding Veils
Pippa Middleton’s Outfits Turned Heads
The Duchess of Cambridge’s younger sister, Pippa Middleton, acted as maid of honor at her sister’s 2011 wedding. Pippa’s dress had a distinctive style that stood out while yet blending in with those of her sister and bridesmaids. Following the incident, Kate’s younger sister’s popularity increased as viewers became charmed by her. Pippa, who wed in 2017, attended the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle wearing a $695 pale green floral dress.
Pippa Middleton’s Outfits Turned Heads
The Earrings That They Wore
On her wedding day, the Duchess of Cambridge wore a set of Robinson Pelham diamond earrings. Her diamond tiara was complimented by teardrop-shaped earrings that reportedly cost $20,000 each. Meghan wore Cartier earrings at her wedding to Prince Harry. The diamond and white gold earrings matched her tiara, which she borrowed from the Queen, who had acquired it from Queen Mary in 1953. A diamond bracelet by Cartier’s Reflection de Cartier was also on Meghan’s wrist.
The Earrings That They Wore
Princess Anne And Her Different Shades Of Purple
Princess Anne should not be overlooked. At both of her nephews’ weddings, Princess Anne, the daughter of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, was a stunning guest. She matched her mother’s colors by donning a purple and green collared coat with a vivid purple hat to Prince William and Kate’s wedding. Princess Anne attended Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding in a deep purple wrap coat. She complemented the look with a purple purse and hairpiece.
Princess Anne And Her Different Shades Of Purple
The Crowd In Both Weddings
The gathering at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding was far less than that during Prince William and Kate’s wedding. Given that Prince William will almost definitely become King one day, it makes sense. Nearly 2,000 guests attended the wedding in Westminister Abbey, which was a bigger venue choice for the newlyweds. On the day of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding, a sizable crowd gathered to Windsor Castle to see the couple. St. George’s Chapel, on the other hand, was a smaller space and could not hold as many people.
The Crowd In Both Weddings
Peter Phillips And His Family’s Attire
The eldest grandchild of Queen Elizabeth II, Peter Phillips, and his wife Autumn attended both royal nuptials. Two daughters of the couple are Savannah and Isla. Autumn Kelly wore a gorgeous purple collared dress with a flared skirt at Prince William and Kate’s wedding. When she and Peter attended the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan, Autumn donned a chic long-sleeved royal blue dress with a teal hat and her hair down.
Peter Phillips And His Family’s Attire
Lady Kitty Spencer’s Gorgeous Attire
Prince William and Prince Harry’s weddings both had a strong sense of Princess Diana’s absence and memory. Her sons remembered their late mother on their important days by paying their own unique homage to her. Prince William and Prince Harry’s cousin Lady Kitty Spencer, who is also Princess Diana’s niece, attended both of her cousins’ weddings. She wore a delicate, slim-fitting beige gown to William’s wedding. Kitty went to Harry’s wearing a green dress with a square collar and a vibrant floral motif on the skirt.
Lady Kitty Spencer’s Gorgeous Attire
What Prince Philip Wore
Prince William and Prince Harry’s grandfather, Prince Phillip, was a happy man on both of their wedding days. Prince William wore red on the day of his wedding, and Prince Philip wore his red Grenadier Guards uniform. Prince Philip, on the other hand, opted to leave his uniform at home and attend Prince Harry and Meghan’s wedding in a formal suit and blue tie. He might have preferred the less formal suit over the uniform given his recent hip surgery. Let’s now discuss the distinctions between the two duchesses.
What Prince Philip Wore
Meghan Isn’t Close With Her Siblings
Doria, Meghan’s mother, and Meghan get along well, but she doesn’t get along with her siblings. Meghan’s father’s half-siblings are Samantha Markle and Thomas Markle, Jr. Her brother has encountered legal troubles, and her sister has criticized Meghan in interviews. Despite spending time with her siblings when she was younger, Meghan doesn’t really have a relationship with them as an adult. The only member of her family to attend Meghan’s wedding was her mother, Doria.

Kate’s Traditional English Fashion
Kate Middleton’s fashion sense changed to become more traditional and conservative as her relationship with Prince William grew more serious. After becoming engaged and then getting married, the Duchess of Cambridge rose to fame as a fashion hero, giving rise to “the Kate effect.” She resembles Queen Elizabeth II in terms of her stylish hats, jackets, and formal attire. The two women also enjoy wearing jewelry that is extravagant and in strong hues. One of Kate’s favorite brands is known for going out of stock very quickly. After being pictured wearing it in 2015, Kate’s polka-dot pregnancy dress quickly sold out in all sizes.
Kate’s Traditional English Fashion
Meghan’s Modern Fashion Sense
Kate, who was raised in an upper-middle class family in England, has a completely different sense of style from Meghan, who was born and raised in Hollywood. The Duchess of Sussex prefers fitted shorts and pants suits to formal gowns. She has additionally been spotted donning loose-fitting collared shirts and sports coats with heels. As opposed to Kate’s royal jewelry and tiaras, Meghan’s clothing is dominated by somber blues, and she accessorizes with stacked rings and tiny, understated earrings.
Meghan’s Modern Fashion Sense
Kate’s Privileged Life
Even before she married Prince William, Kate Middleton led a lavish lifestyle. Her father acquired a multimillion dollar internet party gift business after being born into privilege. While attending the prestigious St. Andrews private school, Kate resided in her parent’s apartment, which is worth between $1.3 and $1.8 million. While studying hard for her degree, Kate never had to worry about money or being taken care of.
Kate’s Privileged Life
Kate Is Close With Her Siblings
Due to Kate Middleton’s tight relationship with her brother and sister, her two siblings are well-known. Kate’s sister Pippa, who is younger, was maid of honor during her wedding to Prince William, and Kate was maid of honor at Pippa’s. James Middleton, Kate’s younger brother, who is frequently spotted with the royal family and who recited a bible scripture at Kate and William’s wedding, and Kate have a close bond.

Meghan Had A Lot Of Opportunities But Not The Same As Kate
Because of his successful career in Hollywood, Meghan’s father was able to send his child to a famous private school. On the other hand, Meghan’s childhood was very different from Kate’s opulent way of life. After her parents separated when Meghan was six years old, her mother reared her mostly. In order to make ends meet after college and between acting opportunities, Meghan took odd jobs like teaching calligraphy and bookbinding. She didn’t have the luxury of residing in a million-dollar condo, like Kate did.
Meghan Had A Lot Of Opportunities But Not The Same As Kate
Kate Kept Her Distance With Fans
In pictures of the gatherings, Kate is seen putting some distance between herself and the attendees as she greets them. She frequently exhibits the body language sign of disinterest in handshakes and hugs by keeping her purse in front of her. Sometimes, but not usually, she’ll extend her hand to shake or accept flowers. This is in part because it would be improper according to royal custom to allow people to touch or photograph the duchess.
Kate Kept Her Distance With Fans
Meghan Is Fond Of The Fans
Meghan is eager to give hugs to visitors, including children, unlike the Duchess of Cambridge, who takes longer. Fans are at ease approaching her and asking for a hug or a picture because of her approachable demeanor. Prior to making her relationship with Prince Harry public, Meghan erased all of her social media accounts and her well-known blog. But it’s understandable that she would still like to interact with her followers.
Meghan Is Fond Of The Fans
Kate Is Private With Her Opinions
Being politically and socially apolitical is one of the rules for membership in the British royal family. Royals are not allowed to share their opinions on topics or to back a cause or a candidate who holds a contrary position. Since entering the public eye while dating Prince William, Kate has done an exceptional job of being impartial on all subjects and keeping her opinions to herself.
