Kate Middleton bagged the win as the most popular member of the Royal Family in a recent Twitter poll. However, fans of Meghan Markle disagree with the result and claimed that the Duchess of Sussex should be named the winner.
Despite quitting royal life, Meghan Markle was still part of the social media poll. However, the Duchess of Sussex didn’t only fail to nab the win, she didn’t even make it to the top five. The former actress came in sixth place, while Prince Harry came fourth.
Many were pleased to see Kate Middleton on top, especially because she and Prince William, who came in third in the poll, amped-up their royal duties during the coronavirus outbreak. But some Meghan Markle fans voiced their disagreement with the result.
In a video shared by the Good Morning Britain's Twitter account, where Lorraine Kelly and Mirror's royal editor Russel Myers discussed the results, supporters of Meghan Markle shared their thoughts about Kate Middleton winning the poll. "Not at all! Definitely Meghan,” one wrote in the comments section.
Some even claimed that the only reason why Meghan Markle didn’t win is that she’s no longer a part of the Royal Family. "Meghan would have topped the list, but she is no longer in the family,” they said.
This is certainly not the first time that fans of Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle argue about who’s better between the two women. In fact, they are being compared to almost anything, even their fashion.
Ever since Kate Middleton dated and married Prince William, she was quickly called a fashion icon. The Duchess of Cambridge is beautiful, tall, with a modelesque figure, so everything she wears looks good on her.
However, a fashion search platform Lyst’s 2019 Year in Fashion Report revealed that Meghan Markle was the Internet’s most looked up “influencer” in 2019. The study shared that after her marriage to Prince Harry in 2017 until last year, there was an average of 216 percent increase in demand for the outfits she wore. Kate Middleton, on the other hand, only drove 119 percent average increase.
But after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced back in January that they will be stepping down as senior royals, the interest in the Duchess of Sussex’s fashion significantly dropped to an average of 31 percent. As for Kate Middleton, the average increase in searches for the outfits she wore went up to 159 percent.
