Meghan Markle is marked for copying Prince William and Kate Middleton as she has new social media update.

The Duchess of Sussex, who turned to our Instagram last week thank all her fans for birthday wishes, it’s called out for acting like a senior royal despite quitting.

Expert Grant Harold speaks on behalf of OLBG: “This video of Meghan reminded me of how William and Kate have posted fun videos of themselves on holiday to mark special occasions and say thank you to the public.

“But on this occasion, I don’t think they needed to say ‘thank you for the birthday messages’, I think they could have said something different, this is still them acting like senior members of the Royal Family, which is interesting, particularly after their recent visit.

“When I first saw it, I thought it was them almost trying to one-up William and Kate or copy how they have done things and how they approach social media, it’s very close to the bone to how they do things.

“However, they are well within their rights to put up a birthday message, but this does seem intentional in my opinion. I think there are other ways they could do a post like this. It is what siblings always do, they try to copy and one-up each other, but usually they grow out of it.”
