We all love Meghan Markle’s style sense and she is definitely much more than just a wife to Prince Harry. She had a good life too much before marrying Harry. Not that she got all the attention after her association with the royal family of Britain., she was already a well known actress and activist. It is very evident that Kate Middleton feels insecure in the presence of Meghan Markle because of the kind of support and limelight that she gets from the British public and mind you not the British royal press.Decoding the riftAccording to a report in New York Post, the rift between them started in 2017 due to London designer Erdem Moralioglu. When Meghan Markle, then recently engaged to Prince Harry, suddenly found that the designer's label- one of her favourites- was not helping her out. The report further added that this happened because Kate Middleton had an arrangement to receive VIP access to Erdem Moralioglu’s outfits. Earlier, The Telegraph reported that there was a kind of hierarchy when it comes to fashion in the royal family as everyone tried to get “first dibs on designers.Meghan and Kate’s fashion conflictThe DailyMail reported that Prince Harry's wife, Meghan Markle looked to the Princess of Wales for inspiration at an event, as she donned an off-the-shoulder Louis Vuitton dress - which was near identical to a gown her sister-in-law wore days earlier. The Duchess of Sussex,  anti-racism award at the Ripple of Hope Gala in a very similar outfit just that the colour was different. The royal went all out with her ensemble for the evening, opting to wear a custom-made form-fitting white Louis Vuitton gown that left her shoulders completely exposed, and also featured a racy thigh-high split that flashed her lean legs as she strutted through the Manhattan rain. [caption id="attachment_12055222" align="alignnone" width="640"]
