ROYAL FAMILY
CONTROVERSY: Queen Camilla and Kate Middleton’s Battle Over…….
The colors of the clothing worn by royal women became a hot topic after Meghan Markle claimed in her and Prince Harry’s Netflix docuseries that she couldn’t wear the same colors as more senior family members.
During a confessional in episode three of the program, the former Suits star recalled: “Most of the time that I was in the U.K. I rarely wore color. To my understanding, you can’t ever wear the same color as Her Majesty if there’s a group event. But then you also should never be wearing the same color as one of the other more senior members of the family.”
Following what the duchess said, the royals seemed to debunk that by wearing the same colors to a holiday carol service at Westminster Abbey, and several fans began posting pictures online of Meghan wearing bright colors while she was a working royal. But now, a reported dispute over a popular color between Queen Camilla (formerly known as Camilla Parker Bowles) and the Princess of Wales (formerly known as Kate Middleton) is proving that at least sometimes, royal ladies can’t wear the same color.
The color that has reportedly caused a stir in the royal household is blue. A source told Express that the color “is particularly problematic for the senior royals’ dressers because it’s a favorite of both Camilla and Kate.”
The source said: “The queen is now able to choose her outfits before all the other women in the royal family. It’s part of the royal pecking order and that includes the clothes and color. Her Majesty’s favorite colour is blue and so is Kate’s. Sophie is also quite fond of it.”
The insider explained that Camilla’s dresser Jacqui Meakin, who took over after the late Queen Elizabeth II‘s dresser Angela Kelly, came up with an idea that she thinks will solve any future problems over wearing the color.
