Meghan Markle ‘frustration’ as Kate Middleton embraces Royal dress code

Meghan Markle would be unhappy to see Kate Middleton abiding by Royal rules, says an insider.

The Duchess of Sussex, who left her position as a senior royal back in 2022 move to California, famously accused the royal family of controlling her fashion choices.

On the contrary, sister-in-law Kate has widely accepted the Royal dress code, something that would hurt Meghan.

The source told Radar Online: "Seeing Kate continue to follow many of those same traditions can be a source of frustration because it brings back memories of a period when Meghan felt constrained by rules she never fully agreed with."

The source added: "People often assume Kate's coats are simply a personal style preference, but there's a lot more to it than that. Within the royal household, appearance is carefully considered, and official engagements come with certain expectations.

"A senior royal is expected to maintain a polished, consistent image from the moment they arrive until they leave, and that means outerwear is often treated as part of the formal outfit rather than something that can be casually removed. The coat becomes a symbol of discipline and professionalism as much as a fashion statement,” it noted.
