MEGA TheMegaAgency.com Meghan Markle, who was recently featured in Harper's Bazaar, has been accused of copying Princess Diana for a photoshoot. "[When I first heard about it] I thought, no way, surely she would never lean into that. Then I saw the photos, and it is undeniable," PR expert Renae Smith told Daily Express. "These are not gentle references or sweet tributes. They are copies. That cross-legged one on the floor? Stop it!" "From a PR perspective, it is such a bad idea," Smith continued. "It is confusing, it is provocative in the wrong way, and it puts her straight back beneath the royal shadow she always bloody insists she wants to get away from." Oh Lordy, how can people not see that she's cosplays Diana. It's beyond creepy. pic.twitter.com/Q2OLimHvso- According2Taz (@according2_taz) November 20, 2025 Meghan, who has publicly criticized the royal family in the past, continues to use her title as the Duchess of Sussex in the U.S. "It's not hard to avoid anything royal. But she can't go two weeks without doing something related to the royal family," Smith noted. "I guess Harry might love it. I would assume she checked with him first, and he probably told her it was lovely. It is his mother and his wife merged into one visual, so emotionally it might make sense for them." "Strategically, it is terrible. It makes her look completely directionless. I genuinely do not know who is advising her or if they even have a plan," Smith continued. CraSH/imageSPACE / MEGA Some think Meghan, whose feature focused on her emerging lifestyle brand, As Ever, is not being upfront about her motives. "For me, this is beyond a simple bad PR move. It shows a lack of boundaries both personally and professionally," Smith stated. "She keeps saying she wants distance from the royal world, yet she keeps inserting herself directly into the legacy of the most powerful royal symbol of all time and the mother of her husband. The contradiction is glaring, and the emotional implications are concerning." Over the years, Meghan has been seen as trying to become "Diana 2.0," and Harry often compares his wife to his mother. "So much of what Meghan is and how she is is so similar to my mom," Harry said in Harry & Meghan. "She has the same compassion. She has the same empathy. She has the same confidence. She has this warmth about her." The post Meghan's 'lack of boundaries' on full display in latest 'provocative' move appeared first on Wonderwall.com.
