Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, recently captured global attention with her courageous return to public life following her battle with health issues.
Her appearance at this year’s Trooping the Colour marked her first public outing in nearly six months, a significant moment after stepping back from royal duties to focus on her health.
In contrast, Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, faced criticism for seemingly attempting to divert attention from Kate’s milestone moment.
According to royal commentator Maureen Callahan’s scathing critique in the Daily Mail, Meghan’s decision to promote new products from her brand, American Riviera Orchard, through influencer endorsements on the same day as Kate’s appearance was seen as an ill-timed effort to steal the spotlight.
Kate Middleton’s return was heralded not just for its significance but also for the openness with which she addressed her health struggles.
In an Instagram statement released the day before the event, she expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support during her chemotherapy treatments, acknowledging both the challenging days and the lessons in patience and uncertainty.
Maureen Callahan praised Kate’s transparency, noting that it humanized the royal family by revealing her fears and vulnerabilities.

The commentator suggested that Meghan’s actions could be perceived as lacking sensitivity towards Kate’s moment and questioned whether Meghan’s approach of vying for attention repeatedly backfires.
Reflecting on the ongoing comparisons between Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle, Callahan urged Meghan to reconsider her strategies, suggesting that embracing support and abandoning past grievances might resonate more positively.
As Kate Middleton continues to navigate her recovery and return to royal duties, her bravery and authenticity have left a lasting impression, contrasting sharply with the critique of Meghan Markle’s latest public relations move.
