Kate Middleton called 'confident and elegant' in walkabout as opposed to 'clingy and needy' Meghan Markle

The Sussexes have remained in the UK to be with the family after the death of the Queen on September 8

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM: It seems the tragedy that struck the British royal family on September 8 with the death of Queen Elizabeth II has diminished the gap between brothers — Prince William and Prince Harry. The two princes along with their respective wives, Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle, were seen together outside Windsor Castle on Saturday, September 10.

The reunited 'Fab Four' were seen meeting people who had come to pay tribute to their late grandmother. They were also seen admiring the flowers and cards left outside the castle for the Queen. While the sighting of the four royals together has warmed many hearts, there were some who couldn't help but compare the Princess of Wales to the Duchess of Sussex.

Fans of Catherine praised her confident look while taking a dig at Meghan. A user tweeted, “Kate looks so elegant, confident and charismatic, as does her husband. I realized that people's charisma will be lost when they're too submissive to romantic relationships.” Another wrote, “William & Kate have a healthy relationship & Kate is confident in her own skin. That goofy needy Meg needs to hang on for dear life to Harry!! She is out of her element and she knows it!! Harry made a BIG mistake.” A third noted, “It just how clingy, controlling & desperate Megain is. She has to be attached to him every second so she can control his every move aka abusive relationship. Whereas Kate is a strong confident woman who does not need or want to control her husband aka healthy relationship.”

A person pointed out, “Funny I thought Meghan looks so insecure. She was crutching on her husband for reassurance. She seemed out of place. Like a little girl almost saying please don't let go of me. I don't know these people. The Princess of Wales walks with confidence and presence of a grown woman!” Another concurred, “Exactly my thoughts, holding onto Harry like a 2 year old. Kate is confident in her role, Meghan is a laughing stick, she is so not royalty.”

Some critics of the former actress also cast doubts if she is actually a feminist. When a user said, “Harry opened the car door for Meghan and returned back to the other side to enter the car. My kind of gentleman,” someone replied, “Thought Meghan was a feminist? 😂 God you people talk some BS.” A third mentioned, “Meghan claims to be a feminist. Isn’t it supposed to be objectifying for a man to open her door as if she can’t do it herself? She does victim really well - oh that’s right, she’s an actress…” “Kate is a true feminist and can open the door herself. meghan is a failed feminist and must rely on a man to open the door,” another tweet read.

A tweet thrashing Meghan read, “A mature, confident woman doesn't need to hang off her husband 24/7 like an unwanted appendage. Particularly in professional environments. Feminists certainly don't behave like that. Meghan's inability to walk unaided is truly bizarre. #GoHomeMeghanMarkle #DuchessofOverseas.” “Meghan + Harry's obsessive need to hang off each other like teens at a prom is absolutely toe curling, immature + so unprofessional in a middle aged couple. It's like she's physically incapable of walking unaided + just kind of waddles. Such an empowered, confident feminist. Not,” another tweet added.
