Meghan Markle’s Football Skills Spark Online Debate as Some Compare Her to Kate

Meghan Markle has faced criticism online, with some social media users accusing her of “copying Princess Catherine” during the first day of her and Prince Harry’s visit to Jordan.

The Duke, 41, and Duchess of Sussex, 44, were photographed arriving in Amman for a two-day trip to the Middle Eastern country. Their visit follows an invitation from Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization.

Soon after landing, the couple travelled to a refugee camp in northern Jordan. While visiting the QuestScope Youth Center, Meghan was seen taking part in a light-hearted football activity — a moment that sparked mixed reactions online.

Sharing images of the scene, one social media user wrote: Cosplaying Catherine again. Meghan is obsessed with Catherine.

Another commented: Ok this is actually kind of funny… never kicked a ball in her life [laughing-face emoji].

Prince Harry was also seen joining in with the football activity during the visit, prompting further reactions online.

One user wrote: OMG !!!! They are trying so hard to be William and Catherine !! [laughing-face emoji] They left RF because they hated this kind of events and now look at them [laughing-face emoji] They are soooo ridiculous !!! Look at her [laughing-face emoji].

Another added: Look, I’m sporty too you know!!! Wow she’s obsessed with Catherine.
