Meghan Markle, who often publicly recalls the traumatic phase of her life in Britain, appeared to pay tribute to the much-loved royal figure, sparking mixed reactions.
The Duchess of Sussex bid farewell to 2025 by appearing on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar December 2025/January 2026 issue.
Several of her photos sparked reactions from fans due to their resemblance to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana’s iconic moments.
From ensembles to poses, Meghan reminded people of Diana. But her latest move left few fans and one PR expert disappointed as it was seen as a ‘copy’ of the late Princess of Wales’ vision.
In conversation with express.co.ukRenae Smith shared, “These aren’t gentle references or sweet tributes. They’re copies. The cross-legged one on the floor? Stop it!”
She called Meghan’s decision ‘provocative’ in all the wrong ways and criticized the Duchess for deliberately coming under the “royal shadow” despite her constant attacks on the company.
“It’s not hard to avoid anything royal. But she can’t go two weeks without doing something related to the royal family!” Renae added.
However, the expert believes that Meghan’s photos must have been an emotional moment for her husband, Harry, as he would have seen it as a special nod.
“I guess Harry might love it. I’m going to assume she checked with him first and he probably told her it was nice,” Renae said.
