Is Meghan a copy-Kate?
Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle has made her first appearance since announcing she won’t be attending King Charles’ coronation — and some are saying her gorgeous new look is suspiciously similar to sister-in-law Princess Kate Middleton.
Markle debuted a sleek straightened hairstyle as she appeared via video link at her photographer friend Misan Harriman’s TED Talk over the weekend, sparking speculation among social media watchdogs.
“PLASTIC SURGERY ALERT? Sad Meghan Markle wants to be Kate Middleton so bad,” one fired-up Twitter user railed, questioning whether the ex-actress had altered more than just her locks.
Another claimed Markle, 41, had changed the color of her eyes in order to look like her 41-year-old sister-in-law, saying: “Omg. Meghan Markle, who is jealous and obsessed with the Princess of Wales, is wearing hazel contact lenses to look like Kate.”
“She looks like she’s trying to look like Kate … that won’t happen,” another tartly tweeted.
Meanwhile, Markle’s many supporters came out en masse to trash talks of any cosmetic work.
“Meghan didn’t have plastic surgery,” one defender declared. “It’s all about lighting, angles, and contouring. And hair straightening is something many black women do. It has nothing to do with ‘erasing all traces of origin.’ Also, white people need to shut up about black women’s hair.”
“You’re accusing Meghan of having plastic surgery when your whole online persona is AI generated. Girl Bye! Meghan doesn’t need plastic surgery! She is sun kissed, getting love and and moisturized! That is GLOW!” another cheered.
“Omg. Meghan Markle, who is jealous and obsessed with the Princess of Wales is wearing hazel contact lenses to look like Kate,” one social media watchdog claimed.
Kate Middleton is seen with straightened hair during a public engagement last year.
Others, meanwhile, claimed that marvelous Markle may not have wanted to resemble a royal but rather a Hollywood star: “Is she going for Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian or Jennifer Aniston here?” one asked beneath screenshots of Markle’s TED Talk cameo.
Markle has been largely out of the limelight in recent months, prompting some to speculate that she may have had some cosmetic procedures.
“I think Meghan’s public absence has been explained. And it was nothing to do with the children,” one posited.
Others weighed in on the work they believed the Duchess has had done.
“Facelift, filler dissolved in lips, buccal fat removal, more filler in cheeks, Botox, more subtle veneers, chin implant is my guess,” one watchdog speculated.
“She had under her eyes filled and an eye lift,” another chimed in.

Markle has been largely out of the limelight in recent months, prompting some to speculate that she may have had some facial work done.
Reps for Markle declined to comment about the new accusations, but insiders close to the Archewell camp told The Post she denied the surgery claims.
Multiple sources who’ve worked with Markle said she put on a lot of weight with both pregnancies and has finally lost the weight she gained with daughter, Lili, which accounts for her newly fit-and-fab style.
One told The Post she has not changed her face as she “loves” her nose and even contours it and uses bronzer to highlight it. Of course, she did change her hair color — and Botox and some lip fillers are likely, one source added.
Meghan Markle denies coronation absence is over letters she wrote to King Charles: ‘Ridiculous’
While Markle’s new look has certainly sparked chatter, it’s far from the only topic that has the Duchess in the limelight.
The star sent the social media mill into overdrive after announcing earlier this month that she won’t be attending Charles’ coronation on May 6.
One royal watcher claimed Middleton had “blocked” Markle from the historic event, with another claiming the princess “resents” her estranged sister-in-law because she caused her to miss final moments with Queen Elizabeth last year.
Meanwhile, another royal biographer alleged that Markle wanted to skip the coronation because she can portray herself as a “martyr.”
Over the weekend, the Duchess’ reps rubbished reports she chose to snub the event over letters she and King Charles exchanged about her concerns of racism within the royal family.
