Some fans think she’s ‘cosplaying’ Princess Diana

Similar to the outrage over Meghan Markle’s allegedly unsuitable clothing during her trip to Nigeria, critics did not hold back in their displeasure with her fashion choices in Colombia. The waistcoat that highlighted her shoulders? Apparently, that was the worst fashion crime ever committed. Furthermore, others claim that she has brazenly copied Princess Diana’s look.

“Meghan Markle’s desperate attempt to cosplay Princess Diana is a sad parody, revealing her obsession with a legacy she’ll never live up to. It’s not homage; it’s a cringeworthy act of vanity, highlighting her relentless quest for attention,” one critic said, with another piling on, “She can dress up all she wants, she will never be a Diana. Diana had a warm personality, she wore the clothes, the clothes didn’t wear her. With M, the clothes wear her, and always hang on her poorly.”

But let’s give the duchess a break here. She has never claimed to be channeling Princess Diana, however several of her outfits do resemble the late royal’s classic appearances. But if she was, Princess Diana wouldn’t have cared.

After all, as Harry recently told the BBC, his mother and Markle would have been best friends, possibly sharing a closet. “Oh they’d be thick as thieves, without question, I think she would be over the moon, jumping up and down, you know so excited for me,” he told E! News (via Twitter). “But then, as I said, would have probably been best friends — best friends with Meghan.”
