Lady Colin Campbell has voiced her opinion following claims that Meghan Markle has inspired Kate Middleton’s choice of outfits.
The two royals are no strangers when it comes to speculation surrounding them, with the royals wardrive choices often becoming the topic of conversation.
Former Suits actress Meghan, 40, often leaves royal enthusiasts dazzled with her choice of designer frocks while Kate, 39, frequently opts for a more formal approach when it comes to official engagements.
Now, former I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! star, Lady Colin Campbell has waded in following claims that Catherine has started taking inspiration from Prince Harry’s wife.

Last week, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge appeared alongside Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall on the red carpet for the James Bond premiere.
Catherine wore a show-stopping gold gown by Jenny Packham, a known favourite to The Royal Family that captured her elegance and regal glory.
However, critics of the Cambridge’s claimed that the Duchess had been copying Meghan but this did not sit well with Lady C.

The aristocrat said: “I think that would be the compliment that elegance paid to inelegance, I don’t think elegance is going to emulate inelegance.
“It just shows how delusional Meghan’s followers are, first of all, Catherine’s style is completely different from Meghan’s – always has been and always will be.”
The mother-of-two added: “Catherine is invariably appropriate, now I know the rules of the royal and aristocratic world and who abides by them and who doesn’t.
“Not everybody may know all the new answers but I do and I’m here to tell you, Catherine doesn’t need to emulate Meghan in any way, shape or form.”

Jamaican-born Lady C claimed: “The idea that she would do is beyond preposterous, you only need to look at the way the two women dress to see that one is the picture of elegance, conservatism, always conserved and always tasteful, always modest, despite also making sure she is also striking, she also abides by the royal rule of dressing in colours that will make you stand out from the crowd.
“Her clothes are invariably well-fitted, Meghan, a study in monochrome order, ill-fitting, sloppy, contrived.”

Lady C went on to say: “One of the rules of elegance is you give the message that you care enough to be well-groomed not that you care so much that you are straying over the borders of elegance into contrivance.”
The former Celebs Go Dating star went on to say that Meghan often wears “ill-fitting clothes” and that “idiots” who believe Catherine copies Meghan will “watch pigs fly”.
Meanwhile royal biographer, Angela Levin recently claimed on Twitter: “I think it is patronizing to say the Duchess of Cambridge’s new look is thanks to Meghan. The only thing she is probably grateful for is that she’s moved to the U.S.A.”
