Duchesses Kate And Meghan Or Princesses Beatrice And Eugenie: Who Are Criticized More?

The members of the royal family are public figures, so they often appear in newspapers and even in tabloids. People want to know more about them, so their every move is being watched by the media, and everything they do is published on and offline.

Since people are watching them, it can’t be helped that aside from praises, the royals are also constantly being criticized. This is especially true for the family members who are more popular than the others.

In the royal family, Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton are the duchesses who get more attention. And before they became part of the royalty, princesses Beatrice and Eugenie are one of the most talked-about personalities. The four have fans who compliment them, but they also have critics who drop hurtful words. They are sometimes criticized for their looks, actions, gestures and even fashion.

But who among them receive more criticisms? Is it Meghan and Kate or Beatrice and Eugenie? In a rare interview, Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice opened up about how they feel when being maligned online.

“There was a horrible article that had been written about Beatrice and she got really upset,” Princess Eugenie told fashion feature editor Ellie Pithers. “We were just about to step out and she had a bit of a wobble and cried. And then about an hour later, I had a wobble and started crying and Bea was there for me.”

Princess Eugenie was talking about how they were constantly ridiculed for their fashion preferences. In particular, they were very hurt after people attacked them over the fascinators they wore to Kate and William’s wedding in 2011. The sisters were also listed as one of the worst-dressed due to their “outlandish” styles at that time.

For Kate, she was criticized when she and Prince William visited Blackpool in March. The duchess was said to have committed a fashion mistake by wearing a £2,000 outfit to the event. Royal expert Emily Andrews agreed with radio host Mike Graham when he said that the duchess could have worn something cheaper.

“Yes I think that is probably a good point because the optics are not brilliant are they, if she is wearing an outfit that costs £2,000 when you are visiting places like this,” Andrews said.

Meanwhile, Meghan recently received backlash when she altered her diamond engagement ring that holds diamonds owned by Princess Diana. The ring’s band was changed to a thinner micropavé band, and royal expert Ingrid Seward said that the Duchess of Sussex ruined the jewelry that is part of history just to fit into the fashion trend today.

“I find it a bit odd Meghan would want to alter a ring that her husband had specially-designed for her,” she said. “A royal engagement ring is a piece of history not a bit of jewelry to be updated when it looks old fashioned.”

Kate and Meghan and Beatrice and Eugenie were all criticized for various reasons, but since Prince Andrew’s daughters are not working royals, they get less attention from the media compared to the duchesses, who are actively carrying out their duties as wives of princes William and Harry. With lesser exposure to the public, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie are not criticized as much as their cousins-in-law.
