Meghan Markle is once again under the spotlight after announcing a new project with Netflix, with critics accusing her of \u201ccopying\u201d the Princess of Wales.<\/p>\n
The Duchess of Sussex, 44, and Prince Harry, 40, revealed their new \u201cfirst-look\u201d deal with the streaming platform last week. The agreement includes a festive special of Meghan\u2019s lifestyle series \u2018With Love\u2019, described as a chance to \u201cjoin Meghan in Montecito for a magical holiday celebration.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, the announcement quickly sparked criticism from some royal watchers who claim Meghan is trying to take attention away from Kate<\/a> Middleton, 43, who hosts a well-known royal Christmas event each year.<\/p>\n Kinsey Schofield, a US-based royal expert and podcaster<\/a>, told the Mirror that this is part of a \u201cpattern\u201d by the Sussexes. \u201cIt\u2019s become so noticeable it was reported recently that Harry<\/a> had offered to share his schedule with the family as an \u2018olive branch\u2019 to avoid competing in the future,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n The claims come at a time when the couple is said to be facing a \u201creality check,\u201d as experts suggest their public image and media projects continue to receive mixed reactions. Some believe the timing of their announcements often appears to clash with key royal events.<\/p>\n
