It seems that Meghan Markle might not be too pleased these days, and who can really blame her?
Netflix has stirred the pot once again, throwing in a cheeky reference to Catherine, Princess of Wales, in the latest season of *Emily in Paris*.
It feels like the streaming giant is reveling in taking a jab at Meghan, especially after her bold suggestion for an *Emily in Paris* spin-off featuring a gay male lead.
In the premiere of Season 4, viewers are treated to a sly nod to Princess Catherine during a scene set against the backdrop of the French Open.
Mindy, portrayed by Ashley Park, struts onto the screen in a pink dress gifted to her by her boyfriend Nicholas, aka Paul Foreman.
Emily, played by Lily Collins, quips, “It’s a little more Kate Middleton than you normally go, but couture is couture.” This seemingly innocent remark is anything but; it’s a clear homage to Catherine’s iconic tennis style.
The dress Mindy wears, with its soft pastel color, white trim, and button detailing, is strikingly similar to the Balmain dress Catherine donned at Wimbledon in 2023.
Netflix even confirmed that Mindy’s outfit is vintage Balmain, almost tauntingly saying, “Look how effortlessly chic Catherine is!” One can’t help but think that Meghan might want to take a few notes here.
Let’s face it: if anyone could use a lesson in refined elegance, it’s Meghan Markle.
While Catherine embodies grace with her meticulously curated wardrobe, Meghan’s style choices have often veered into more questionable territory.
Take, for instance, Catherine’s stunning attire at the wedding of King Abdullah II and Queen Rania of Jordan’s son—a flowing high-neck dress in soft coral that beautifully highlighted her sophistication and respect for the occasion.
It was the epitome of demure chic.
In stark contrast, Meghan’s fashion choices sometimes stray far from the mark.
From ill-fitting strapless bras to outfits that seem more suited for a night out than royal engagements, her wardrobe frequently misses the target of modest elegance.
Is it any wonder she might feel a twinge of envy over Catherine’s effortlessly stylish ensembles?
Before stepping into her duchess role, Catherine honed her fashion sense as a buyer, a profession that surely sharpened her eye for style.
She listens to her fashion advisors and seamlessly blends their suggestions with her personal taste, resulting in a wardrobe that consistently impresses.
On the other hand, Meghan’s outfits, often marred by sweat stains and odd cuts, tend to lack that same level of polish.
And let’s not forget the fashion faux pas—Meghan’s wardrobe sometimes resembles attire better suited for a mud wrestling match than that of royalty.
Her attempts at high fashion often miss the mark, while Catherine’s selections are always spot on.
Whether it’s chic shorts for athletic events or elegant gowns, Catherine knows exactly how to dress for every occasion.
It’s a lesson Meghan could certainly benefit from.
Adding another layer to this fashion drama is the ongoing tension between Meghan and Netflix.
Despite the Sussexes’ exclusive deal with the streaming platform, their pitches for new projects have faced considerable hurdles.
Netflix has turned down numerous proposals, including a sitcom akin to *Emily in Paris* but featuring a male lead, as well as an animated series meant to replicate Netflix’s successful originals.
