Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle inherited jewellery collections have sparked fresh comparisons between the two royal women, with observers claiming a symbolic 'bling war' has emerged. Middleton reportedly received numerous pieces from Queen Elizabeth, whilst Markle inherited items from the late Princess Diana, leading to debates about which collection holds more significance within the royal hierarchy.
The comparisons come as Kate Middleton, the future queen, has been photographed wearing Queen Elizabeth's statement pieces, whilst Meghan Markle's collection of Princess Diana's jewellery is described as emotionally significant but less institutionally powerful. Royal commentators have weighed in on the perceived competition, though both women have previously stressed they are not in conflict with each other.
