Princess Kate’s ‘stylist’ Natasha Archer was following a lot of Meghan’s friends on IG

One of my least favorite royalist “things” is when people willfully play dumb about how much the Princess of Wales copies her sister-in-law, the Duchess of Sussex. You’d think, given Kate’s behavior towards Meghan and Kate’s reported hatred of everything Meghan represents, Kate would take at least take pains to avoid wearing Meghan-inspired outfits. You’d think Kate would make an effort to avoid the comparisons, rather than invite them and goad the royalist media to declare Kate the “winner” in the endless war against the Sussexes. You would be wrong on all counts – since 2017, Kate has been obsessed with Meghan.

We’ve always “joked” that Kate has some kind of Meghan mood-board which she references and updates constantly. Well… what if Kate actually does have a Meghan mood-board and Kate’s “unofficial stylist” Natasha Archer was the one who constantly updated it? Now that Natasha has quit working for Kate, Natasha turned her private Instagram back to public. People began creeping around her IG and checking which accounts she follows. It looks like Archer followed What Meghan Wore (which IDs all of Meghan’s outfits), Mandana Dayani (former president of Archewell), Delfina Blaquier (Nacho Figueras’ wife), Nacho Figueras, Jessica Mulroney (Meghan’s Canadian bestie and former stylist), Daniel Martin (Meghan’s bestie and makeup artist), Abigail Spencer (Meghan’s bestie), Highbrow Hippie (Meghan’s colorist), Clare Waight Keller (Meghan’s wedding dress designer), and several of Meghan’s non-famous friends. This is such creepy stalker behavior and I don’t want to ever hear another word about “Kate’s Meghan cosplay is just a coincidence.”

CB double-checked Archer’s account this morning and, according to CB, Archer “is now only following 363 accounts vs. 1,709 from the screenshots. She unfollowed incriminating accounts like whatmeghanwore, Delfina Blaquier, Jessica Mulroney and Daniel Martin. She’s still following Abigail Spencer and Highbrow Hippie.” Some of you are theorizing that Archer wanted her account “exposed” and that this was her way of confirming Kate’s obsession with Meghan. I don’t know! It’s messy AF.

      At least it’s a field day 😂 wonder what Willy makes all of this. It reflects badly on his wife, and therefore him.

      • 2131Jan says:

        Didn’t Kitty let the cat out of the bag, when she said they watched “Suits”, and Willie “liked” Meg’s character?? His obsession with Meg started before Harry went public dating Meg. That’s the source of the jealousy. His teeny pea brain can’t fathom that a woman like Meg could prefer Harry miles over him. Thereby, he has to sully her in every which way, including trying to destroy her, and Harry for being the chosen recipient of her love.

      • Thena says:

        Will: Meghan is using Harry as a stepping stone!
        Kate: *quietly starts copying Meghan*

      • Flower says:

        Said it before and I’ll say it again- part of Kate’s “time out” was mental health related.

        Going to guess that Kate’s been trying to break free and this staffer is a casualty of that.

      • Unblinkered says:

        @Flower – or is it the staffer trying to break free ?

      • Alteya says:

        Lol Kate has no desire to leave. She’s clinging like a limpet and wisteria vine.

    • Lady Esther says:

      Wow….just wow. No way to erase or come back from this, Kate and Natasha. None.

      • L says:

        Apart from Natasha stalking Meghan and all of her friends and the IG foundation accounts as well as the ‘whatmeghanwore’, (she was also following the royalist fashion pages)
        The thing that also sells the K (and Natasha because it was both of them) is obsessive with copying Meghan theory is that she was following a colour analyst (I have the crew shot lol just cuz I though I was going crazy) page that has made it clear on so many occasions that K is a true summer and that autumn colours (like Meghan’s ) washes her out and yet they still went out of their way, knowing it wouldn’t suit her, to copy Meghan

      • Kaykay says:

        To the pioter below, yes!I keep thinking Kate is a dark summer cos playing as an autumn. Her artificial hair color is all wrong for her, the original must be neither chestnut nor honey blond. I have naturally chestnut hair and green eyes as an autumn, but my skin tone is different. Autumn’s usually don’t go grey early, but she has had whites at least since her 30s, which is early.

    • traci says:

      I don’t know where I saw this … but someone thought that maybe Peg’s jealousy of his brother was exacerbated because he had a crush on Meghan. I think Harry said that Peg was a fan of Suits and was shocked that he was dating a girl from the show. So, if Peg did/does have a crush on Meghan, it wouldn’t be a stretch that Kate wanted to emulate Meghan so that her husband would actually pay attention to her. Am I losing it? It’s friday and I’m tired lol

      • JT says:

        @Tracy I absolutely believe that part of William’s hatred of Harry has to do with his crush on Meghan. Having watched Suits myself, I can say that Meghan is very alluring and very beautiful on the show. It must have been a shock for Harry to show up with Rachel Zane on his arm. Then you have Kate who sees every woman as competition and it became a recipe for disaster.

      • Jaded says:

        I’ve always maintained that Wilburforce harboured not-so-secret feels for Meghan. There’s video of him looking her up and down at her wedding like she was a piece of meat. His lust for her was totally obvious. I also believe he did/said something to her that crossed a line and she shot him down instantly, and his attraction to her turned immediately into hate. Nobody puts Willy in the corner.

      • eastern sierras says:

        I feel like there must have been a crush involved, because it seemed like Kate was able to withstand bad press in her pre-marriage/early marriage years? It feels like she could dust it off before because she was getting William and the status… but something had to have felt threatening to that aspect when Meghan came on the scene.

      • Kathleen says:

        Sounds right to me.

    • Hypocrisy says:

      Waity and her minions are just sick, there has to be some diagnosis for this kind of crazy.

      • AC says:

        Agree. It just adds to what I’ve been thinking for a while and Ws feelings for M. I remembered seeing it all over his face after a Christmas service and M knew(which made it awkward for her). Even in the book, she knew after the physical altercation between W and H(and W telling H to divorce his wife). And the reason why K is so envious and mad at M.

      • Christine says:

        Agreed. I adore my SIL, and she is endlessly stylish. I just appreciate what she’s wearing when I see her, I don’t try to wear her skin. Kate claims to HATE Meghan. It’s so sick.

  1. Blogger says:

    This doesn’t look good no matter how you look at it.

    It comes across as unprofessional and incompetent if this was accidental. If not, Tash has opened the door wide to the nutcase that is Lazy. If this is revenge, I hope Tash has a back-up plan.

    Also, are the rats pursuing this story with as much energy as they did over Bedell/Anson? Because there are so many angles here that reinforces all the negatives on Lazy – especially as stalker since the very beginning – and that Lazy has never matured past high school behaviour.

    • sunnyside up says:

      I googled it and found that the only story from the Mail about Natasha leaving was her being loyal. It was two days old so perhaps they didn’t know when they wrote it.

      • Blogger says:

        The highly visible contract at work!

        This reminds me of the omertà over the pegging and Rose stories which went for days and days. It was a question of which publication would finally break from the mafia.

        The more the MSM and the rats ignore this, the louder it will get. Their silence is deafening. Lazy is known as a clothes-horse and the one who dressed her has left. It’s a major loss of identity.

      • Where'sMyTiara says:

        @Sunnyside – well the rota might not have groked it 2 days ago, but given how obsessively they follow all things Sussex on social media, they’ll know the level of disgrace heaped on Archer, Kate & the KP circus now.

        Love that for them.

        As for whether the rats knew and kept schtum, or were not aware, I’d guess the latter. They’re not bright specimens.

        After all, Her Late Maj was out there committing subtle acts of Brooch Warfare for years and it took my friend in PA posting about it from her back porch for the rota to cotton on. None of the “royal experts” had a damn clue.

      • First comment says:

        There’s an article on GBNews right now about it …I don’t know for how long…

      • sunnyside up says:

        I was surprised to see it on GB, they don’t like Meghan either, I didn’t read the article just the introductory line on google. But from that it does seem to be honest. I don’t read GB on principle.

    • Hypocrisy says:

      @blogger I just keep thinking that if you want to speak but are silenced by a NDA, this would be a perfect way to say something without speaking a word.. but it was probably just Royal bubble arrogance when she made her account public. Either way it makes Waity and her staff look mentally unstable, do they have a version of the “Baker Act” in Britain, if so maybe it’s time to use it.

  2. Roo says:

    Bless all these posh people who surround the RF and have little sense or skill. Her quick deletions overnight say more about their obsession with Meghan than anything else. Sad little people.

    • Ginger says:

      Her deleting those accounts (that also included Meghan and her As Ever brand) prove she was following them for Kate. Now that she is gone she has no need to follow them. This once again proves Kate is creepy and a stalker. This could be why Harry got Meghan out of the UK.

      • jais says:

        It really is unhinged behavior. There’s no way of getting around it. The future queen is single-white femaling her sister-in-law after having spread racist lies about her.

      • Square2 says:

        Yes, some quick fingers people screen-shot her following meghan & aseverofficial before she unfollowed them. She also follows/ed Meghan’s haters & bashers.

      • Nerd says:

        Even creepier is her long history of stalking. She changed her major and school in order to stalk William. She has been credited with stalking his former girlfriends and copying what they were and their mannerisms. She has not only copied his exes but she also copies the Queen, Diana, other royal women from other countries, Meghan and Meghan’s friends and daughter. She is mentally unstable and instead of her husband, mother or royal family they continue to cover their eyes as if her sever weightloss and obsessive tendencies aren’t a sign of her needing real help.

      • Nic919 says:

        She didn’t just change her university choice but she delayed starting a year to match when William would start and she also tried to go to the same activities in Chile, but she missed him by a few months.

        There is a very long history of obsession and stalking with her.

      • Debbie says:

        They were even following “As Ever”? Damn, this just reinforces how longstanding and recent this obsession was (and still is). And Meghan’s Instagram? Oh my God. And you’d better believe they watched — and rewatched — Meghan’s baby-mamma dance on repeat. (And, dare I say “copied” the dance?)

      • Alteya says:

        Nic919, she also signed up for the semester in Florence Italy because he signed up for it. He ended up ducking out.

        The switch from downe to Marlborough was stalking. She couldn’t get into Marlborough because it was flooded with applications once his Eton attendance was confirmed (sister schools)

        Her lies about bullying were how she managed to get into Marlborough a year later.

        She stalked his female friends to get into his circle. She slept with his male friends as her tryout as his secret bedmate. All to get a life where she’s unwanted by her husband and globally mocked.

      • Kirk says:

        “Her lies about bullying were how she managed to get into Marlborough a year later.“ WTF? Kitty reported being ‘bullied’ before to gain advantage? 🙈

    • Hypocrisy says:

      Oh the deletions were a huge mistake after the fact, it just reinforces the guilt. Meghan’s fans, the Sussex Squad, already have all the screenshots they will be flooding social media platforms for years now.

    • Debbie says:

      I wholly agree with your post. The quick deletions (plural) are even more damning than her following them in the first place. All these years. Even after Meghan left England and stopped being a working royal. Oh well, I guess we can just put this episode down in the column of “We don’t think of Meghan at all! Not on that family-Chat thing, not at parties, not before we schedule big coronation events.” Not on a train, not in the rain, as Dr. Seuss would say.

  3. Smart&Messy says:

    “Some of you are theorizing that Archer wanted her account “exposed” and that this was her way of confirming Kate’s obsession with Meghan.”
    No, I think she is just dumb like Kate.

    • Blogger says:

      That consultancy of hers is going to be very short of clients then.

      • BeanieBean says:

        Seriously. I’m finding it difficult to understand just what her ‘consultancy’ would be. Scheduling? She only ever had one client & that client rarely did anything. Can’t by stylist, ’cause, I mean, Kate. Luggage wrangling? Can’t be wiglet wrangling, ’cause there’s the gophers for that.

    • BlueSky says:

      I agree. I don’t think she believed anyone would be looking that closely.

      • Chrissy says:

        But that would be pretty naive of her given her association with Kate. Could this have been released by her accidentally on purpose to expose Kate in some way? Hmmm…

      • Ginger says:

        Her account was private before. She could have unfollowed them while her account was private and then make it public.

      • sunnyside up says:

        Crissy, I like your reasoning.

    • Mel says:

      Hard agree, I think she didn’t think anyone would know or notice.

    • SunnyDays says:

      If she’s been part of their team for this long then we can only assume she has contributed to the incompetence that comes out of there.
      I do not think she had the foresight to delete these accounts before she made hers public. She’s probably been stalking Meghan for so long she couldn’t even see anything wrong with following these accounts until she started getting called out for it.

      As an aside, I truly forgot how INSANE some of these outfits were from Kate. Omg. I always think of the blue coat and the white suit but that evening look with the black suit and cami underneath…it makes me shudder. She is not mentally well.

      • Cee says:

        She is incompetent, yes, and she also had no business being Kate’s stylist.
        We all knew they were stalking Meghan the moment Kate changed her entire wardrobe and style with no thought towards the actual styling – the colours, prints. and fit never suited her because they lifted Meghan’s style and inserted it on Kate, AND IT NEVER WORKED.

      • Nic919 says:

        That black suit and black camisole is what tipped me off to her copying Meghan because Meghan’s version of it was very iconic and here was Kate wearing the same thing a few months later.

    • sevenblue says:

      Removing the follows speaks more about it. If she wanted this, she would keep the follows.

    • Christina says:

      Oh, honey is DUMB. She couldn’t set up a Finsta? If she had set up a fake account for the stalking part of her job no one would have known immediately after she left, maybe never. Ignoramous.

      • BeanieBean says:

        😆 They’re even incompetent at their stalking!!!!

      • Kirk says:

        Maybe she did fake. Somebody has a screenshot of her changing her user name 15X.

      • KoRAR says:

        @kirk
        It didn’t have to be Archer’s account. It could have been one of the Middletons. I also doubt Archer was Kate’s stylist. Judging by the outfits, she’s more likely getting advice from her mother, and Archer, as you can see in the photos, was more of a workhorse.

        Of course, one of her tasks could have been keeping track of Meghan and everything related to her. Kate and Carole had to stay up to date, because, let me remind you, Kate not only copied Meghan’s outfits but also what Meghan did and said (William does the same with Harry). Meghan often visits various organizations, but the information doesn’t always appear on the website immediately, although some photos are immediately available on the employees’ private profiles. Middleton takes advantage of this time difference and Kate quickly dresses up as Meghan, makes a “surprise” visit to a very similar organization, takes almost identical photos, and everything ends up in the British tabloids. And when Meghan’s official information appears, the tabloids write – Meghan is copying Kate again. This was the case on during Meghan’s stay in the Netherlands, when Meghan visited organizations. I’ll look for photos.

    • sunnyside up says:

      She might have had a row with Kate and wanted revenge. I find it rather amusing that Kate’s “loyal” staff has dropped Kate in it.

  4. Wow the truth (which most of us knew) comes to light! Of course there will still be those who will poo poo that her following those accounts means Can’t is a Meg copycat and they will show up to defend that opinion but come on that’s some pretty good proof. Now that she is no longer “working” for Can’t she has deleted those sites hmmmm…

    • Christine says:

      That ship has sailed. She’s literally following everything about Meghan, even her friends not in the public eye. There’s no shoving this particular genie back on the bottle.

  5. Lucy says:

    Messy insta behavior! That’s sloppy, which seems par for the course. I don’t think she was being Machiavellian, she forgot people can go through her follows.

    • Blogger says:

      But why did she feel the need to change her account from private to public then? To shill for clients?

      • sevenblue says:

        @Blogger, probably the palace makes them keep private accounts. Since she is no longer an employee and setting up her business, she made it public to gain followers I assume.

      • Jay says:

        Yes, I think that’s exactly what happened! And I think that gives us some real insight into the, er, high level inner workings in KP. The fact that she didn’t vet the account for embarrassing follows before she went public (or just make a new account with her new business name) speaks volumes, doesn’t it?

      • sunnyside up says:

        Revenge for something we know nothing about. Perhaps William poked his finger in her face.

      • Swaz says:

        Now that she’s not working with KP she can go public get more followers and monetize her platform 😎

  6. Shoegirl77 says:

    But…but…. I thought Meghan was the one who was after Kate’s fashion contacts??

    • Blogger says:

      😂😂😂 shows how much of a fashionista Lazy thought she was. She’s a follower, not a leader.

  7. Piper says:

    When you see the photos side by side it is so creepy and obvious.

    • Cj says:

      The side by side just emphasises that Kate & her assistant/stylist don’t really understand fashion because the outfits just lack the same finesse & pop as MM. even the all black, it’s like Megan’s jacket and top have different textures for depth… and then the copy is just flat. Like watered down soda.

  8. Monica says:

    This is Scary

  9. 2131Jan says:

    Like I wrote yesterday, I think this “resignation” is more because “Tash” was publicly outted to be stalking these accounts. While it was obvious to anyone with a functioning brain cell that these “coincidences” in wardrobe were far from coincidence, w/out the “proof”, it was all just supposition. Honestly, I think Kitty believes her press hype about “wearing it better”. Racists always think they’re better than… It’s her own one-sided completion.

    • Nerd says:

      Her resignation happened before she made her account public and before it was publicly realized that she was stalking Meghan and her inner circle. So the resignation doesn’t have anything to do with her being outed. She was outed after the resignation.

  10. Kayla says:

    Don’t forget, she was following Meghan account and her As Ever account.

    • Nerd says:

      Her following Meghan’s new personal account and her new business account (As Ever) as well as Highbrow hippie and other personal friends who have no connection to Meghan’s style or personal aesthetic means that they can’t claim that this was an accident or that this is something that happened prior to Meghan leaving the UK. Most of those people she was following have nothing to do with what Meghan wears and others were after she left the UK. This was deliberate and sinister.

  11. Dee(2) says:

    Wow. This is just sad. We all KNOW that they copy Meghan and stalk her but to just have it so in the open is bananas. Can’t even pretend that this isn’t incredibly weird. I could give you following Meghan. Even though they don’t speak to her she is still a member of the family and they may want to keep an eye on what’s going on.

    Her hair colorist? Her friends, websites that list what clothes she wore? There’s no way to spin this as being anything other than obsessed with her. And unless Natasha plans to fall on her sword, all arrows are pointing towards Kate because she’s her executive assistant. She’s truly pathetic. I’ve had friends that have been a little too invested with exes after breakups and situations like that, but I can’t imagine what’s spending the day with Kate is like.

    She must talk about Meghan and reference her constantly. It really puts into context the random stories here and there about how Kate rolls her eyes when they mention Suits, and she shivers when they say Meghan’s name. This makes me think that this is people’s reaction to Kate talking about Meghan or anything associated with her for the umpteenth time.

    The theory that Natasha did this purposely is interesting to me though. Because that would lead me to believe that their split was acrimonious. Could be, but I think it’s just more evidence of the incompetence of the quality of people they hire to work for them. And how many aren’t really suited for their roles, they just end up being the last person standing and get into these high positions. But agreed intentional or not, super messy. And she probably kept following a few because everyone has screenshots like that would save her.

    • Jais says:

      Even if the split is acrimonious, which may or may not be the case, I don’t think this was intentional. Mostly bc people like to keep their connections to the royals sweet, especially when they’re U.K.-based. Her husband is a royal photographer. I doubt they want to burn those bridges. So I lean towards incompetence. Which makes sense really considering the clown show that is KP.

      • Blogger says:

        Just saw the pic and emojis Chris Jackson posted of his photo of Macron winking at Lazy. It’s creepy to say the least and if this was an acrimonious departure by Tash, the knives are out for Lazy.

      • jais says:

        Wouldn’t that just be Macron being creepy? I think he knows where his bread is buttered.

      • Blogger says:

        @Jais he could have chosen many other photos as it doesn’t place Macron in a good light and what’s with the emojis? What is he implying? If Lazy decides to have an affair with Macron that may actually make her more interesting.

      • Jaded says:

        Ooooooh, Brigitte’s going to go apeshit.

      • Christine says:

        It’s interesting, because Chris Jackson has taken some of the most iconic photos of Harry and Meghan, including the one they used for their Christmas card two years ago, I think? The one from Invictus with Meghan in that absolutely killer strapless dress from the closing ceremony.

        This blow back on him too. Yikes on bikes, this is gross.

  12. Britt says:

    The family, their associates and press have been stalking the Sussexes and anyone close to them for years. You still have reporters going to Montecito, with the clear purpose of running into them and you can’t convince me otherwise. It’s been clear for years that Kate has been trying to take Meghan’s persona and light and make it her own. When I realized this was happening was after Meghan wore that blue Victoria Beckham dress and we got the iconic rain photo. The next day Kate had a blue coat on, shopping and happened to be papped. Kate and William’s insecurity reeks and it’s obvious that whole family is jealous. I also think the press are pushing comparisons and the family have to keep their end of the bargain. Kate isn’t stepping back because she’s sick and recovering. Meghan has been out of the limelight and comes out rarely. Her and William are copying the Sussexes ethos and aesthetic. There was a story that she wanted to focus on her social media. Why? Because of Meghan’s Instagram. This woman has no personality or charm and everyone there knows it. It’s sad and pathetic really.

    • Magdalena says:

      Not only that, but this year there was an expanded section in one of the palaces’ annual report bragging about their social media “impact” and how many “millions” they had reached. Someone said that the British people are paying millions of pounds to the royals for them to boast about being … influencers. And during a cost of living crisis, no less.

    • Swaz says:

      @Brit This is exactly how I see it, if Meghan was everywhere Kate would be everywhere 🤣🤣🤣. They are OBSESSED WITH THEM, they don’t even want to announce their appearances in advance anymore , just like the Sussexes 🤣🤣🤣

    • Me at home says:

      Yep, Bulliam is definitely jealous of Harry’s lifestyle as a wealthy private citizen who throws himself into his favorite charities. Bulliam probably wants to live in Britain not California, but he’s definitely over even pretending to like his “job.”

  13. Magdalena says:

    Wait…. what if KATE were the main user of that Natasha Archer Instagram account? Either way, it looks bad. Stalkery and creepy As Eff.

    I remember how odd it was for Kate to have been photographed wearing an identical polka dot dress to one which M’s bestie and birthday twin Abigail had worn. Now we know.

    And I think that she (and Kate) not only used those follows to look at M’s and M’s friends fashion, she also stalked them to get info about M’s activities which may only have been noted among her friends. So NOW we also know how some of those tabloids get wind of what M’s friends were doing and were planning to do (and which might involve M). Not that the tabloids weren’t also stalking M’s friends, but this is an added element.

    YIKES on a bike.

    P.S. Is she the one who was once overheard saying “Meg is going to be SO jealous” to Kate once, after styling Kate? Fashion contacts indeed. 😀

    I think we may find that a LOT of other people in the palaces are doing the same thing: cyber-stalking Meghan.

    • Blogger says:

      Yes, that thought crossed my mind. How could Tash know all of Meghan’s friends especially the ones not in public? She’s a gopher, she’s actually working, and she also has kids! When does she have the time to cyberstalk Meghan unless Lazy uses her account?

      The KP budget social media expenses are probably hires who stalk Meghan and her wide circle of friends. Chris Jackson doesn’t strike me as a rabid paparazzo but this looks like a security list of Meghan’s close friends. I hope Harry’s security – and Meghan’s friends – are watching this closely and starting to block KP bots and anonymous accounts.

      • Magdalena says:

        The KP budget also includes a substantial amounts spent on hiring bot farms to swarm any positive posts about M on various social media platforms. Would not be surprised if KP also funded several of those YouTube hate channels.

        In that year when the NYT(?) article revealed that KP’s KensingtonRoyal Instagram account had been using bots to outpace H+M’s new SussexRoyal account following and that the engagements on the KP insta were low and inauthentic and the posts and engagement and follower count were seemingly tied to posts made by the Sussexes (and not anything done by William and Kate), KP’s IT budget increased by a fair bit and has continued to do so, the more public H+M have become.

    • Interested Gawker says:

      “I remember how odd it was for Kate to have been photographed wearing an identical polka dot dress to one which M’s bestie and birthday twin Abigail had worn. Now we know.”

      I remember that! That was so creepy!!!

      • Teddy says:

        @kaiser’s side-by-sides are perfect for a new insta account: WhatKateWoreThatMeghanWoreFirst

  14. M says:

    Following Cressida Bonas is wild to me (unless Tash is posh?) The others aren’t exactly a shock. We already knew they are obsessed with everything Meg does. All they did was tell on themselves. Amateur hour once again.

    • Blogger says:

      Why Cressida and not Chelsy? 🤔

      Unless Cressida is friends with Lazy.

    • Jay says:

      That one popped out to me as well!

      I wonder if the account follows all of Harry’s ex- girlfriends (which would be creepy) or just the one with a half-sister that turned down William?

        Good point. Lazy is still jealous of Cressida’s sister after all these years.

        Lazy couldn’t GAF about Chelsy, being too South African, so I can see why she’d keep Cressida under her watch.

    • sevenblue says:

      Isn’t Cressida in their circles of society? That might be unrelated to Harry.

      • M says:

        None of the aristos like Kate, so unless Tash has a posh background, I don’t see how either she or Kate would be friends w Cressida. I think it’s being obsessed with all things Harry and Meghan.

      • sevenblue says:

        @M, I mean, none of us knows these people. From what Harry said, both Kate and Will told him to get back with Cressida (before Meghan), because they liked her. Cressida also has relatives in british media. She isn’t just somebody Harry dated. They probably see her at some posh gatherings.

      • Ginger says:

        To me it’s an obsession with Harry as well. Kate clearly has a weird thing for Harry.

    • Blujfly says:

      She is posh adjacent. She went to a very fancy school and began her royal career with the Duchess of Gloucester

  15. Gemini says:

    Thank you Kaiser for covering this story. I know you normally provide commentary with links on articles by other publications, but I was hoping you would make a post about this as the tabloids will definitely ignore it. Hoping more outlets will cover it linking to Celebitchy.

  16. Shoegirl77 says:

    I wonder who’ll get Kate’s favourite photoshopper in the split?

  17. Mrs. Smith says:

    So it IS a full blown obsession. Just speculating, but based on CB’s update, it sure sounds like “Tash” went into cleanup mode once word was out about her public IG. I agree it seems like she didn’t expect the public scrutiny at first, then when it dawned on her that she and K were revealed to be unhinged stalkers, she frantically unfollowed like 1200 Meghan-friendly accounts?? But no matter, the cat is out of the bag at this point. The obsession, to me, is confirmed.

  18. Jay says:

    The fact that Archer seems to have “unfollowed” these accounts now is the smoking gun IMO. If she had meant to expose the fact that her boss was obsessed with Meghan, she would have left it all up. If she thought it wasn’t a terrible look, she would have left it all up. If she thought she might have had a shot at plausible deniability (that she just happens to follow the same very stylish people, or even that her follows were all an effort to make sure Kate DIDN’T repeat a Meghan outfit during the same time period) then, again, she would have left it all up.

    Frantically unfollowing every Meghan-connected account shows both awareness of the poor optics of her actions, but also how much energy she is still investing in protecting her (former) employer.

    • Blogger says:

      I’d have turned the account private, unfollowed all, then made it public again.

      • Magdalena says:

        Stop giving the others ideas! 🙂 Let them continue to reveal themselves through incompetence.

      • Blogger says:

        @Magdalena I just can’t believe she’d be that stupid.

        I mean I should but jeez…they really are dumb as dog shit if she was this incompetent.

      • Jenniem says:

        Blogger, we KNOW they’re all that stupid! They’ve been that stupid since forever. Kate is a moron and surrounds herself with similar. Tash is not too clever!

    • Lover says:

      Yep. It’s the cover-up that implicates them even more than the crime.

  19. Hannah says:

    I don’t know if I find it funnier that she openly stalked Meg and everyone associated with her or that she didn’t create a sock puppet account. Lazy & unprofessional

  20. MaisiesMom says:

    Looking at those pictures side by side is wild! It’s not like Kate dressed that way before. She liked her slightly prim dresses, button-y coats, very “proper” and what she considered Royal. Suddenly she’s wearing pants and a beige blazer. She literally copied some of Meghan’s outfits, just ruined them with pussycat bow blouses and the like.

    Following a style-related Meghan connection is one thing. Following her FRIENDS is just weird.

    This reminds me of that movie about the nunnery in a rather unusual or remote location (was it in India?) called, I think, “Black Narcissus.” A new nun arrives and sort of unintentionally shakes things up or at least unsettles the others, and one of them goes mad about it and by the end is yelling her name “Clodagh! Clodagh! Clodagh!!!!”

    • Magdalena says:

      I remember when William and Kate went to Greece(?) and the HUGE gasp (followed by superlatives from the usual UK media set) when Kate stepped off the little aircraft, not wearing her usual coatdress or doily dress but an “honest to goodness TROUSER SUIT” (not just a SUIT, which was in itself unusual, but a TROUSER suit! 🙂 ). This after literal reams of print and months of talking heads screeching about how unroyal it was that M wore so many trousers and them lying about how the queen NEVER wore trousers (despite photographs of her wearing trousers being available).

      That’s when I knew what Kate was up to. Her “style” underwent a complete revolution. She was still badly styled, but she went all-out to co-opt every aspect of fashion that had been identified with Meghan. Remember that electric blue one-shoulder dress that she wore to randomly pretend to play the piano at the Eurovision Song Contest of all places (just because she wanted to have an INTERnational audience for her copycatting?). Soooo many instances of her single-white-female-ing and sooo many people still pretending that it was all just “coincidence”. Colonising at its finest – and still failing.

      How many white trouser suits did she wear after Meghan was widely praised for the white suit she wore to the Dutch Invictus games? There is a reason why we began to play that game: we could predict what colours and styles (and shoes! and brands!) Kate would wear on her next few outings based just on what M wore to an event. Red dresses, anyone? 😀

      • Magdalena says:

        Forgot to add that Kate wore that frothy electric blue copycat one-shoulder dress, complete with tie-dye feature after Meghan had worn an elegant electric blue one-shoulder dress with a tie-dye feature to receive an award with Harry for their work with Archewell.

        That was SO very obvious, and yet people were still trying to deny the evidence of their own eyes.

      • Bqm says:

        The Queen only wore trousers like twice in an official capacity. But Anne and Sophie had been wearing them for years. Decades in Anne’s case. I think Margaret may have as well in later years. So the protocol narrative was always BS.

      • Nanea says:

        Good catch with that Christopher John Rogers blue one-shouldered dress, Magdalena!

        With all the Copy-Kateing that has been done*, this was one instance that was completely over the top unhinged, as Christopher John Rogers is Black, and has created outfits for Cardi B and Kamala Harris, among others.

        Kate’s designer of choice for that Eurovision event was, of course, Jenny Packham. Which makes Jenny Packham a proven plagiarist.

        * Kate has worn quite a lot of Alessandra Rich at one point, the polka-dot dress “inspired” by Abigail Spencer being only one, and after people started criticizing the brand, it was reported that Alessandra Rich was unhappy with the way her designs were worn by Kate, and that she didn’t work for/co-operate with KP. That’s when we all thought someone with a sewing maching but no creative ideas, or an eye for styling/accessorizing, at KP altered the things for Copy-Kate. Someone like Natasha Archer.

    • Ginger says:

      It’s so disgusting to have the British media slam Meghan for dressing that way and then Kate dresses identical to her and the same media praises her for it. Plus to say Kate’s fashion brings BILLIONS to the UK economy lol. Come on.

      • Blogger says:

        Meghan single-handedly brought attention to Strathberry and saved that Welsh jeans (?) place. Had they not chased her away, it’d have been Meghan that would have boosted local industries.

  21. Amy Bee says:

    There’s no denying it now that Kate is cosplaying Meghan. I think this also throws doubt about Meghan being a bully because why would you be following her and anybody associated with her if she was one?

    • L says:

      @amy bee so I checked through the following list (cuz I was curious) before she went on an unfollowing spree and a few things I noted was
      – 1) along with Meghan and her friends, she was also following the IG foundation account and Sarah Rafferty (Meghan’s costar) 👀
      – 2) even when she had the 1,000 following count there weren’t any private accounts (or if there were they weren’t followed) that could’ve been W or K’s (that was what I wanted to see)
      3)there were some Kate fan accounts and royal style pages also being followed (which also document other royals ladies fashions (along with yep, whatmeghanwore))

    • sunnyside up says:

      Meghan wasn’t a bully, the staff didn’t like taking orders from a mixed race woman, after all they only employed “coloureds” in menial positions.

  22. JT says:

    Megha has include d the entire royal family and they are all obsessed with her. When Meghan took control of and Harry’s instagram prior to leaving the RF, then the Windsors because obsessed with social media, with W&K buying bots. Kate adopted Meghan’s style and mannerisms, William and now Charles are getting into streaming, Charles is trying to clout chase As ever with his own jam and wine. Charles even made a capsule collection just like Meghan did for Smartworks. Meghan has had a profound effect on this family and they absolutely hate her for it.

    • Henny Penny says:

      She drew everyone’s eyes to how archaic, inane, and pointless they all are. Unless you are a UK citizen, one only pays attention to them now as one does when passing a terrible car crash on the side of the road.

      QEII and Philip witnessed and even experienced firsthand what happens when a monarchy is overthrown by the people, so they understood that all the perks of royalty come with responsibilities and obligations.

      Charles has always been a selfish and vain man, and I have believed since Charles declared that his only goal in life was to be her used tampon that Camilla is and has always been his Dominatrix in every meaning of the word.

      William is a seemingly irredeemable, violent effed-up mess, and Kate is starting to look to me like a starving woman who has experienced a lot of head trauma. The rest of them have either zero charisma, or give the cringe. And there’s little hope for a bright future. Poor George has never looked either happy or well to me. How does a child that young and privileged always seem to have worrisome dark bags under his eyes?

      Maybe in the past, a prosperous people could tolerate a bad generation or two of monarchs, but what steady hand do any of these folks offer their unsettled people during these troubling times? I don’t think their current situation is survivable. And it couldn’t make me happier.

      • AC says:

        That’s the problem with the left overs. Instead of letting M help them adapt and become relevant in the 21st century and giving them good solid business advice, they were just haters because of their jealousies of M. They cannot fathom that she’s just better than any of them. They kicked her out of that country thinking that would solve their problems, but they’re still failures and she and H are thriving.

  23. Chaine says:

    Always knew there was something to the notion of CopyKate creeping on Meghan’s style but wow to this extent can only be malevolent. It is for sure a horror movie twist, like when the guy finds his girlfriend’s photos of her past lovers in Get Out

    • eastern sierras says:

      It’s so strange to me psychologically. Why would she so blatantly copy? Why not work with Natasha to differentiate herself? Or at least find someone a bit more removed to copy? I guess she did that with Mary of Denmark. I really cannot get an intuitive grasp of the needs/craving being met here by copying Meghan.

      • Flow says:

        People who behave like that often fall into narcissistic or borderline personality disorder, not saying she is, since I don’t know her personally, but it’s a common dynamic within those groups, there’s a low or unstable sense of self.

        If I were to speculate, Kate Middeton fits the profile of a covert narcissist. There’s a lot of projection going on, calling Meghan everything they are actually doing, which is textbook behavior in narcisistic cases. She is also in a psychopatic institutuion that shields her at least publicly (who knows what is going on behind closed doors).

        That said, it could also be that she’s a victim of narcissism, the scape goat, and developed codependent personality, perhaps victim of her mother, or even William, and never really developed a strong personal identity . Either way, it shows deep insecurity and a fractured self-image.

      • Nic919 says:

        Kate’s stalking and copying behaviour has been seen in public for several decades.
        I’m sure a review of the DSM V criteria would identify many things.

  24. sevenblue says:

    I always thought Kate and their aides were following this type of accounts under anon profiles. I would never assume they did it with their own accounts, even private. Can’t these people know she followed them even if her account is private? Why would you do that if you don’t want to get caught? It is truly weird.

    Look at Kate’s style before and after Meghan. She changed her whole wardrobe to colonize Meghan’s style. The disturbing part is, she did this before but she did it to Will’s ex (Diana nods are probably encouraged by the palace as Harry said). Knowing that they were big fans of Suits, it is really so creepy how obsessed Kate and Will are with Meghan.

  25. Nick G says:

    I want Tom and Lorenzo to apologize to all of us.

    • jais says:

      lol, they would never. Despite the world having eyes.

      • Lilly (with the double-L) says:

        Agreed. I wanted to love their site, for fashion. But, too much bias and, yeah, an acknowledgement would show insight I’ve never witnessed in their writing.

      • Nicki says:

        They’re a couple of thin-skinned mean girls — they would never admit they were wrong.

    • Betsy says:

      *They* were the ones (some of the ones, anyway) who argued it was just coincidence? That is bat crap crazy. I think I probably give Kate more leeway than many here (and I think her regular outfits are so bad they’re campy good fun sometimes/would be good on different people or styled better) but she was so. obviously. copying. Meghan. I used to read their Mad Men coverage but when they tried to pretend that Kate looked good, I have to say I was out.

    • BeanieBean says:

      They were fun at first. I enjoyed their Bill & Cathy Cambridge Go to Canada series. But yeah, will we see a mea culpa from them? Doubtful.

  26. ST says:

    Is this the woman that is married to that photographer who continued to be an official photographer for the Invictus Games even after Harry and Meghan left the Royal family. That photographer still seemed to get on well with Harry. If that is true while certainly suspicious when it comes to copying Meghan and there was definitely copying, it could also be true this could mostly be normal Instagram following of the the people around Meghan that she met around the wedding.

    • SURE says:

      She didn’t meet Highbrow Hippie (Kadi Lee) or the former head of H&M’s foundation around the time of the wedding

      • Iheoma Nwakpadolu says:

        We forget kate early years also copied Meghan’s Archetype’s colours and background.

      • jais says:

        And Meghan discussing her “era of joy” later became a KP talking point of how Kate only wants to do things that will bring her joy. Lol, that one might be a stretch, but it’s clear they are keeping track of every little thing about Meghan so who knows.

    • sevenblue says:

      Why was she following Meghan’s style accounts? We know it isn’t to prevent from clashing with Meghan’s style, as per dozens of Kate’s photos copying Meghan.

      • jais says:

        That’s what always gets me. Wouldn’t she want to make sure Kate isn’t dressed like “evil” Meghan? Wouldn’t Kate not want to dress like Meghan? And yet she persists in copying her left and right. And despite what the tabloids say, Meghan always looks better in comparison bc it’s authentically her style.

      • sevenblue says:

        @jais, yeah Kate’s stylist following Meghan’s style accounts prove that they were copying Meghan. We already knew that, but Kate’s fans were insisting it was all coincidence or Kate wouldn’t know what Meghan wore.

    • Flow says:

      Then she why she unfollowed then all after she opened it? If they were common acquitances she wouldnt act like that.

  27. Nic919 says:

    Someone also picked up that her username was changed 15 times since the account opened in September 2012.

  28. L says:

    At the end of the day, the main reason for obsessively style stalking Meghan is for SEO. Keeping K’s name in the media and the search engines (a la Aquazurra) because Meghan is the most popular so they need to attatched themselves to that
    The British media here in the U.K. won’t be talking about this and that wouldn’t been the biggest implication that she and W are being thrown to the wolves

  29. sunnyside up says:

    Kate Middleton’s loyal PA and stylist Natasha Archer leaves royal household after 15 years to set up her own company. (Daily Mail,)
    Now was she following Meghan’s friends on Kate’s orders, or just doing it for her own amusement? So loyal, So much for H & M being irrelevant. I wonder if William is incandescent.

  30. Nerd says:

    We’ve known for years that Kate was copying Meghan and this is irrefutable proof that it was intentional and not as an homage or out of kindness. We know it wasn’t from an homage because the unbelievable number of people they followed who are linked to Meghan even though they aren’t linked to her through beauty or fashion. We know that it wasn’t out of kindness also because of the unbelievable number of people or accounts she followed that had nothing to do with Meghan’s beauty or fashion and also because of how quickly she removed her following of Meghan’s actual account and her As Ever account. The thing is that if any of this wasn’t out of malice she wouldn’t have reacted so quickly and in the way that she did as if she had done something wrong. The reaction shows the evil or malicious intent.

  31. Dainty Daisy says:

    This high level of stalking is so disturbing and sick. “Single White Female”! I wish HRH The Duchess of Sussex would make a video stirring some sour grapes preserve to Shake it Off(Taylor), Fighter (Christina) or What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Stronger (Kelly)..

  32. Tessa says:

    The keens deserve each other. What a disaster
    Charles made such a mess letting the elder son run rampant and Kate allowed to mistreat Meghan

    • Blubb says:

      Sorry, Tessa, but he was occupied with Harmony in Highgrove, he never cared for harmony in his family…

  33. Nic919 says:

    If social media was around during the dating years we would have seen more solid proof of her copying Jecca Craig’s style, which was obvious as well. This is a pattern with her.

    But yes, this confirms what has been obvious to those who want to use their own eyes for years. Kate did not know what a professional trouser looked like until Meghan wore them. There are tons of posts on this site about people saying she needed to wear trousers instead of those god awful jeggings. Years of it.

    And had she not made Meghan a media target for attacks, then it would have been seen as something different. But she wanted Meghan to take the media hits and then obtain praise herself from the change in her style.

    • sevenblue says:

      I really don’t understand how Will didn’t get creeped out when he saw Kate trying to look like his ex-girlfriend. I would run so fast.

      • Blogger says:

        I can imagine Lazy doing her best to make Jecca jealous and Willy delighting in two women “fighting” over him. In this case, Lazy.

        Willy has form in dating multiple women at the same time at St Andrew’s. Perhaps he had a different girl for each day of the week and Lazy was the constant.

        There was that infamous game “Never had I” when they were students, where Willy’s first GF publicly humiliated him to admit that he was cheating on her with Lazy.

      • Pebbles says:

        I doubt he gives her much thought. It seems like he sees her as a means to an end. She just needs to play a role. Other than that he entertains himself elsewhere

      • Moondust says:

        I don’t think she copied Jecca’s style to make her jealous. I think she lacks personality and imitates whoever Willam likes/loves.

      • sevenblue says:

        @Moondust, exactly. That is why her copying Meghan’s whole looks is so creepy to me, while Will’s “friends” can’t shut up about Meghan 🤮🤮

      • Lyra says:

        I think he didnt pay much mind. He probably thought It was like women of his circle dressed and thats it. Kate had no identity, but he had other girlfriends, most men dont pay attention to fashion details or style like that unless they are obsessed with the woman, which is not the case here.

        Now, William knows that she is creepy , but back at the time such red flags probably flew though his mind.

      • Nic919 says:

        She was available when he wanted her to be. He didn’t care about her outfits. His RPOs called her mattress and he was known to call her sex waiting because she would always respond to his late night calls after he went partying.

        If Carole was a good parent she would have removed her daughter from that situation. Instead she was ok with selling her daughter’s dignity for a title.

        The reason why William publicly disrespects Kate is because he’s never respected her. She’s been convenient, available and suitable for his purposes.

  34. Nerd says:

    Now the Sussex Squad has found out that Natasha has changed her username 15 times. Why would anyone need to change their username that many times?

    • Blogger says:

      Once they’re revealed, the names should be cross-checked with the hate channels on YouTube etc.

      • Kirk says:

        As in KP staff may be directly operating Meghan hate accounts? Talk messy! It’s possible. I’m inclined to believe some of the increased SG digital media budget goes to fund Meghan hate accounts. I just thought it would be more sneaky.

  35. Over it says:

    I am laughing because Kate and natasha make glen close in that movie look tame . Like this is some straight up dark thriller.next Kate will be wearing Meghan skin. Maybe that’s why she is always so tanned

  36. QuiteContrary says:

    I’m alternating between disgust and amusement.

    On the one hand, it’s hilarious that these imbeciles have outed themselves.

    On the other, the stalking is extremely creepy.

    I hope Meghan and her girlfriends can laugh about this over some As Ever rosé.

  37. Tn Democrat says:

    Yikes. Shudder. Hahaha. Ick. Ick. Ick.

  38. s808 says:

    We all knew K was obsessed with Meghan but there is something extra creepy about K’s assistant/stylist following highbrowhippie, M’s non famous friend and hair colorist. That’s what truly confirms the stocking for me. On brand for a KP crony to not be smart of enough to make a dummy account for their stalking activities or at least clean up her following list before going public loool

  39. Deborah says:

    Honestly, I’m fine with Kate copying Meg’s looks. I’d hoped that when Meghan joined the RF it would be a fashion wake up call to dress less frump.

    • Magdalena says:

      This is NOT about Kate “copying Meg’s looks”. This is about a white woman, Kate Middleton, who told a vicious lie about Black woman and let that lie and others fester and cause great mental harm to that heavily pregnant woman as well as subject her to vicious media attacks for YEARS and counting – while all the time blatantly co-opting/copying that woman’s looks, style, mannerisms, decor, buzz words – KNOWING that she (Kate) would be praised for these, even as the woman whose life she was attempting to claim was being vilified for the same.

      It’s a LOT more sinister when you look at the big picture.

    • sevenblue says:

      Kate doesn’t look inspired though, she looks “single-white-femaling” her own SIL, which is the creepy part. I assume if one of your relatives / coworkers starts to dress exactly like you, you would get creeped out too. Meghan isn’t some far away celebrity she is copying. She also knows the tabloids kissing her ass will give all the credit to her and act like she is the fashion lead.

  40. Me at home says:

    I’m betting Carole has an Insta account (she probably lurks but doesn’t post) and her follows list looks just like Tasha’s, with all the Meghan and Meghan-adjacent accounts. Or looked just like Tasha’s, because Carole may get wind of this and start deleting. There are some private Carole.middleton accounts, or she could have an account under a fake name, who knows.

    • Moondust says:

      I’m sure she had a finsta account following Meghan. I sometimes think she’s also her daughter’s stylist. She seems obsessed with Diana, status, titles, etc.

  41. Jferber says:

    Kate and co. exhibit creepy, stalker-ish behavior. Single White Female? So glad Meg is far away from these freaks.

  42. ParkRunMum says:

    OMG. Seriously? This is truly into bunny-boiler territory. I mean. WTF. And ….SMH. Are they really this puerile and vindictive? Rhetorical question. Ugh. Ick. …oddly enough, it reminds me of a headline in one of the gross tabloids we have here (not being British, I was shocked by the crude mob energy around the tabloids when I moved here in 2007, it felt like travelling back in time to the thirties in a fascist country braying for war), when BoJo was elected — it quoted without attribution a line from the West Wing, in fact I even remember it was the Kumar episode, with Leo and Fitzwallis in the situation room, one of them tells the other his hair is bouncy, but more manageable. Describing BoJo’s hair. But then went on to describe something American as “ghastly,” which seems to be their prescripted go-to insult for us Americans. All whilst ripping off American tv shows, music, politics, philanthropy, activism, social trends…. Even their BLM movement was very much kicked off by events in the US. It’s Pavlovian. They can’t help themselves. And yet things like Churchill being half American, via his mother, who was American… those things, they conveniently forget.

  43. Kate says:

    Is it confirmed that it’s really her account? If it is really her it’s beyond creepy. The unfollowing proves she knows it’s creepy. We all knew they were watching everything Meghan did, not just the clothing but her over all style, the joy stuff, the style of photos,videos. We know this, most people do not. Following style stuff is obvious, Kate did change her whole style to Meghan’s, but following her friends is so so weird, clearly hoping for a glance of her. Didn’t the daily mail report she traveled with heather and her family, so clearly hoping to see into that life. If it’s not her account, the daily will run with the claims it was and use it to attack Meghan, I imagine that’s the only way they’ll cover this, unless they are mad at Kate, then they’ll run it to embarrass her.

    • Kate says:

      I could also see them saying she was fired because she is a Meghan fan and kate found her out. But for that to work kate would have to go back to jeggings, coatdresses and the granny dresses, and I don’t see her doing that.

  44. SueBarbri33 says:

    I can’t believe this woman wouldn’t cover her tracks by using a different IG account. I wonder if she got fired because of this? What’s the sequence of events here?

    • Magdalena says:

      I think she got fired (or was encouraged to leave) because she may have been instrumental in Kate missing Ascot (outfit or wiglet not ready?) – or at least, she got the blame for whatever reason Kate failed to show, and the media fallout from that.

      • Kirk says:

        I thought missing Ascot was about Kitty needing to talk about searching for “balance” after hearing Meghan talk about “balance” in her most recent podcast interview.

    • Me at home says:

      The Ascot theory makes sense. Another possibility is Kate flaked and told Tasha, but Tasha failed to notify BP or the people arranging the carriages. Tasha is also a personal assistant and I’d think she’d be responsible for making logistical arrangements, unless Kate hired a secretary without me knowing.

    • BeanieBean says:

      That’s what I’ve been wondering. Did she quit or was she fired? KP makes an announcement–maybe before she was ready?–and then this happens. I like the theory that she did this purposefully, then deleted everything she was no longer interested in now that she doesn’t work for Kate anymore. I’m also wondering if she changed her account password, ’cause I’m willing to bet Kate had access. (Seriously, do they not know how to create a ‘fake’ IG account?)

  45. NotSoSocialB says:

    This is Leann Rimes SWFing Brandi Glanville all over again.

    This is the “stylist” responsible for all the frumpy frocks for so long?

  46. kelleybelle says:

    I have to say Kate’s former stylist is much, MUCH better-looking than Kitty. We can’t have that now, can we?

  47. therese says:

    I have always said that Kate was profoundly stupid. And I second the commenter that said she is unstable. Yes, I believe their help is pretty stupid, as well. But if they need fashion help or inspiration, why get it solely from Meghan? And I like Meghan and think she is a pretty successful fashionista. But she is not the only trend-setting, successful fashionista out there. There are tons of ideas, and fashion possibilities. To solely focus on Meghan is strange, and I would be embarrassed to be caught out so closely following an ex, ousted, supposedly shamed royal. For her advisor to be following, for herself and/or Kate, is mega-stupid. I can only think in Kate’s messed-up, beleaguered brain……what the heck, I have no idea. This is so embarrassing for Kate. I wonder what the cover-up will be, or backlash.

    • therese says:

      Is Kate trying to best Meghan by doing EXACTLY like her? She needed to sack her “advisor”. Either that or the advisor escaped.

      • Unblinkered says:

        I’m sure that was the intention but it never quite works, does it?
        KM has no confidence to wear clothes well, is horribly self-conscious and ill at ease – which is picked up by anyone looking at her. That’s why she makes people feel uncomfortable and will be worse still for those actually meeting her.
        And all this after 15 years learning…… 15 years.

    • sevenblue says:

      I don’t think this is the case of Kate or her people wanting to find fashion inspiration. There was an incident, a person on social media asked help from Meghan’s fans about her research on Meghan with questions like what they like about her. Then, the fans found her linkedin account, she was working for the palace. They are copying everything Meghan does since she joined the family. It is literally the colonialization mindset. They steal her ideas, style, how she presents herself to the world, after bashing and insulting her for the very same things. I mean, white people are doing it in USA to black people too, so it isn’t just a brit thing.

      From the very beginning, Meghan was successful and very popular with the public in Britain..everyone admired her, loved her, were out there to meet her and talked to her…her presence inspired lots of people and her clothes choices were modern and appropriate..Kate was obviously very jealous because she was never admired, not even in the beginning of her royal life because the only thing she was praised even back then was her coping Diana’s way of dressing. Thus, she thought by imitating Meghan’s style, she would be praised as well (she is, by the sycophantic media). But she doesn’t seem to understand that no matter how fashionable Meghan is, people like her for who she’s and what she’s doing…unfortunately, Kate doesn’t have anything to show apart from the way she dresses….

    • M says:

      Kate’s fashion swung wildly between childish and frump before she started SWFing Meghan. Kate would be well served by looking to Mary of Denmark and Letizia of Spain for her fashion inspo. I know both women are older than her, but they’ve always dressed as modern, professional women.

  48. Vicki says:

    The whole thing is creepy af. And Tash just shot herself in both feet if she expects to gather new clients.

  49. LynZ says:

    This copying of Meghan’s essence from her hairstyle and color to the clothes and shoes she wears is not the flex Kate and company think it is. It makes Kate look incredibly creepy and ultimately sad. She is always pathetically 20 steps behind Meghan. I think it stems from Kate having no identity of her own so she is forced to steal one from those around her. She is a personality vampire.

    • Unblinkered says:

      Agree completely. And as has been said elsewhere on here before, KM still doesn’t quite get the copying right, there’s always just something lacking. Ultimately she lacks the confidence to look good.
      Additionally, it shows how hugely insecure KM and the Middletons are.

  50. BeanieBean says:

    Goodness! Following all of Meghan’s friends & business associates AND deleting most of them after the cat’s out of the bag???? My my my, how messy and I am here for it!

  51. Laura D says:

    Nothing much to add to what most people have posted. I just hope when Meghan hears about this she will feels vindicated. All those times when they were telling her she was doing it “all wrong” it was really because she was doing it FIRST. All Kate (and her mother) knew how to do was to stalk a prince and to undermine anyone who got in her way. This tactic worked for a long time but, she has overplayed her hand.

    Regardless of whether it was intentional or a mistake the whole world has seen what an unhinged, manipulative scary person the next QC is. It’s one thing to follow Meghan’s accounts but, to follow her friends and inner circle is bordering on obsessive. If it was just about fashion then they could have followed other high-profile women (or even other royals) who dress well. For the account to be concentrating on a woman who Kate famously said “walking next to her was the hardest thing I’ve ever done” is truly sinister. I’m trying to think what the end game was/is and the only thing I can come up with is the future QC needs help.

    • SueBarbri33 says:

      This…it’s all so deeply strange and embarrassing for everyone involved. This makes the whole thing so obvious. Why not follow other women? Other celebrities? As someone said above, I adore Meghan but I also follow about a billion other people on IG or whatever. Why be caught like this at the same time that everything else is melting around them–the King is ill, As Ever has great reviews and results, and Will and Kate just have absolutely no charisma.

  52. Me at home says:

    I feel like, if Kate wants to fix this, the only way is to get out there and actually WORK for the public benefit. She’s only known for what she wears precisely because she so rarely works. Now even what she wears has been exposed as copycatting.

    Of course, the British press probably isn’t running anything about this, so maybe nobody over there cares.

    • KoRAR says:

      Kate doesn’t “rarely” work. She NEVER WORKS!

      What we’re fed are photo ops, often 15 minutes long, for the propaganda the palace peddles, and Willism i Kate exist solely because of them.

      • Caitlin says:

        What constitutes “work” for her would be considered leisure activities for others – attending awards ceremonies, prestigious sporting events, fancy meals and galas, the list goes on. Or, she visits and watches other people working (e.g. hospitals) and is praised for merely showing up and looking good in her tax payer funded outfits. Prove me wrong.

  53. Theresa says:

    Maybe its just me but this assistant looks enough like Kate that if you put a dark colored wig on her and some large sunglasses she could pass for Kate in the car pic with Carole

  54. slippers4life says:

    This is some solid tea! This is the shit I’m here for! Damn, she really made her insta public before double checking her follows. This is almost as good as the Tatler article

    • SURE says:

      She probably contributed some of the anonymous quotes that were in the Tatler article. “She’s working as hard as a top CEO…”

      • slippers4life says:

        Oh 100% this! This is like on the movie Mean Girls, when they finally crack Gretchen Weiners!

    Guys kate has done this for every facet of her life since Meghan came along. Though first Meghan gets criticzed….Meghan makes speeches here comes kate making speeches when she never did before, Meghan wears pants..Kate next, Meghan hugs and selfie…Kate and William follow, Meghan in her era of joy…Kate only doing things that bring her joy, Meghan podcast…Kate early years with exact same styling, Meghan cooking, jam…all of a suddden kate is talking about making dinner and jam when William loudly said before she’s a terrible cook.
    You all get the point…..

    Every some of the phrasing they used the KP team followed after H&M were criticized for being “woke”

    Camilla t wrote an article about KP becoming too much like the Sussexes and also Dan Wooten wrote a similar article when Kate first overhauled her wardrobe a few years ago.
    They all know!!

  57. kris says:

    Smh all of this exposure happening to Capricorn Kate during the Capricorn full moon . Its obvious that the stylist didn’t leave on good terms. And we all knew Kate was copying Meghan. What a time.

  58. L4Frimaire says:

    This isn’t just mere coincidence. I think it’s not just to copy her style but , especially before Meghan was back on Instagram, to see what her friends were doing and if Meghan was featured on those pages. A way to stalk her and her friends. For someone they consider D-List and irrelevant, they really are obsessed with her wardrobe and her friends and colleagues. Insane and pathetic.

    • Magdalena says:

      “…to see what her friends were doing and if Meghan was featured on those pages…”

      As well as to see whether the Sussex children were featured on their friends’ pages. Because we all know how DESPERATE the British media are to get their hands on recent front facial photos of those kids, and KP (and Kate and Tash) quite possibly committed to helping them.

      And you’re absolutely RIGHT – it started long before M was back on Instagram, so they’ve been trying to keep tabs on her via her friends. I’ll guess that if they saw Delfina or Abigail or the Clevr Blends or Highbrow Hippie ladies post that they were attending something, the stalkers would alert the UK media who would then send reporters to hang about the event in the hopes of seeing/running into/harassing M.

  59. blunt talker says:

    I am not a brain surgeon but this type of following someone who has left your country 5 years ago tells me something is not clicking upstairs on these folks-this woman did this under orders from someone who was her boss-why spend so much time doing this-they did this to find out what exactly Meghan and Harry were doing and who they were talking to-trying to meddle in their business ventures to cause harm-ever wonder why so many people from the UK came to Cali searching for answers about the Sussexes

  60. JJ says:

    This is creepy as hell. Pathetic, sad, and creepy AF.

  61. GHope says:

    The thing that gets me…I mean, what really takes me over the moon with this is if K had befriended Meghan in the beginning, Meghan would have shared everything with her! Meghan is such a girls-girls – she would have shared her friends – her clothes, even with speaking better would have been K’s already. That’s what makes this sooooo disturbing, sooooo sick and ghetto!

    Can you imagined what would be going on now if Harry, Meghan and the kids had stayed in that insane asylum called a palace? What kind of people are these? There isn’t enough money in the world that would make me stay either with these mental-midgets called “the monarchy.” (Sorry no offense against midgets lol) And it’s not just K! It’s W, C and the horse!

    I believe that Archer got dealt with – decided to leave – and this was her parting gift to W&K out the door. Oops 😉 – Just my take…

    • SueBarbri33 says:

      Right? Because it feels like she’s kicking them on the way out the door. Goodness.

    • KoRAR says:

      @Ghope
      NO, Kate and her mother are psychopaths, and such people are avoided. You can’t befriend them, but they’re excellent at playing the game of friendship when they need it. They get close to someone to achieve their goal—manipulate them into marrying you even when they don’t want to, or get close to someone, “befriend” them, to destroy them. Such people have no personality, no identity of their own. They are vampires who haunt other people and take over their lives. Just as the Middletons haunted the Sussexes and anyone connected to them in any way, they also forged their way into the aristocracy and, for years, haunted William, who was still unaware, and later too stupid to realize he was being manipulated. It took them many years of conspiring and haunting William’s inner circle before they managed to catch him. They gained access by spying on his colleagues and acquaintances, which wasn’t easy and didn’t work for many years, and all Kate earned was the nickname “mattress.”

      The best thing for HM is to stay as far away from Middleton as possible. But they know this. Harry visited Middleton once, recognized them immediately, and refused to go there again. He thought it was strange and creepy. Unfortunately, William allowed them into the Royal Family, and if Charles and the senior aristocrats disappear and only the coward William remains, the Middleton locusts will completely overrun the Royal Family palaces and assets, and the Windsor era will disappear. The only solution is a divorce while Charles is still alive.

      • GHope says:

        Your right… These people are devoid of any real human emotion. The manipulation you express is where I really see it. The honeypot trap that Carol and K set for W is really the proof in what you say. And I believe W is exactly like K. I also believe he realized he got-got which is why he can’t stand her now. So what does that say for their children? Poor babies. The won’t escape it unless they do a Uncle Harry move. Or become like their parents – the vampires they are!

  62. DeeAnne says:

    Nothing screams “I did creepy stalker work for my ex-employer and will do the same for you” quite like this.

  63. CSC says:

    This speaks to psychological dysfunction and professional incompetence. Should have spent those years developing her own style more than she did, instead of trying to copy.

  64. AC says:

    Something we already know all these years. K copies M as she’s jealous of M. Pretty pathetic.
