Here Are 20 Headlines Comparing Meghan Markle To Kate Middleton

Over the years, Meghan has been shamed for the same things for which her sister-in-law, Kate, has been praised.

Here is a look at 20 stories from these outlets that appear to show a double standard between press coverage of Meghan and Kate. BuzzFeed News has reached out to all of the outlets featured below for comment.

wow. In black and white and color.

He's one who got stung by the press as a young man, and seems to have shunned it pretty much ever since. We barely ever see him or the kids, it's more likely to be Sophie on an official function.

He holds the same familial position as Harry - younger brother to the future King. We've really obsessed over Harry, comparatively.

He came to Canada to open a building at my work, I was one of the people he officially visited and we had a little chat, intensely observed by all the Vips such as provincial policians, etc.

He also had a private, unpublized meeting with a key federal cabinet minister. I got the impression he was representing a non-profit, perhaps one who Prince Philip was associated with. I met his 2 or 3 security staff, who were concerned about his route to and from the meeting room. There was only a little local coverage of his visit.

I think this below is an example of why the British press favour Kate over Megan. There are traditions and responsibilities she should be adhering to but Megan just doesn't play ball.
Meghan ‘WON'T pose with baby on hospital steps’ as she’s a feminist

as a mother of three, the last thing I would want to do is dress up after delivery and pose for pictures.

with the first child I believed the tripe about women having a baby in the field, getting up and going back to work. Of course, women are chattel.

Kate looking better than 99% of women after just delivering gives what message? Truly ridiculous.

polo & shooting, too!
Moo

This is as close to polo as Harry is going to get living in Toronto

There's a polo club in Toronto, but it's not as big a sport as it would be for the upper class in England.
Harry will have to adjust to a whole new life. The things he loves are very limited in the part of Canada they will live in.

If it's important to Kate to present herself after delivery, that's fine. She looked great, that's a feat! But that doesn't mean every royal woman should do it. But I know how scandalous refusing that is...the ancient old super-important tradition from the absolute medieval year of 1981!

Now stuff like this is ridiculous. Moo

Meghan Markle Allegedly 'Warned To Leave' Prince Harry Due To His Rapid Hair Loss
Though Prince Harry’s premature balding is something that runs in his blood, speculations are rife that Meghan Markle is, not at all, pleased about it. Globe even reported that the former “Suit” actress gave her husband an ultimatum about his thinning hair.

An unnamed source told the publication that Meghan has become “so obsessed with being the huge star she never became as an actress” that she started thinking a bald Harry might affect her image. Hence, she is, allegedly, threatening to leave her husband if he does not do something about it.

I would figure Harry would be excited about the hunting and fishing scene in Canada. Well, the outdoors in general. He loves sport and Canada is a great place for it.

Kate was delivering princes and princesses. Archie is a commoner. Big diff.

I was looking at photos of the Nadya Sulemen octuplets and I realized something - that's who Meghan Markle looks like! I had thought MM looked like somebody...Meghan looks like Octomom.

There are memes on Facebook comparing MM to Yoko Ono...who is better at "breaking".

Future King of England...
Diana started it but I can recall her writing that it was reluctantly, under pressure ? from whom. She stood there smiling for the zillion cameras then got in the car and burst into tears as soon as they were out of sight. Her stitches were so painful.....

Hmmm never thought about Yoko. I’ll have to do a side by side.

I would give them 5 years max. Or before if he goes bald....

He may not have a title now but he could technically be restyled as Prince Archie when the Queen passes away, as he will be the King's grandson. Doubt it'll happen though.

Haha, no, just some nice looking Ralph Lauren Polo models

On to some other news. Some royals from the past released statements in support of Harry and Meghan. They wanted to give her some encouragement, knowing how difficult it is when everyone is trash talking you.

Dear Meghan,
I wish I could give you some advice, but you know how things ended for me. Don't lose your head over all of this. Stay strong. Sincerely, Anne B.
P.S. I know what it's like to have an annoying sister.

Dear Meghan,
Some times second marriages are more difficult than the first one. I was all about women's rights, just like you. At least your Henry hasn't dumped you.. Stay out of the public for a while, lay low and history will consider you a hero.
Sincerely, Catherine the first one

Dear Meghan,
I know what it's like when people try to turn your husband against you. They even tried to have me arrested. I kept my title and the money, and you can too.
Sincerely, The last Tudor Queen aka Kathy.
