While both women are increasingly positioning themselves as global humanitarian figures, there is one major difference that Catherine takes on that Meghan does not – the much-loved royal is doing it all with the backing of the monarchy behind her.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Described by palace aides as a “global mission”, Catherine’s visit centred around her early childhood campaign.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
During her time in Reggio Emilia, Northern Italy, Catherine specifically learned about the renowned Reggio Emilia Approach, which focuses on community-based, self-developmental education.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The trip marked a major moment for the royal – her first solo overseas visit since her cancer diagnosis in early 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
It also signalled a new international chapter for Princess Catherine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The more successful Catherine becomes on the world stage, the harder it will be for Meghan to occupy the same space without comparisons being made.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Meghan almost certainly watched Catherine’s latest trip carefully, especially with her decision to use “faux-royal tours” to build her personal brand – as well as the Sussex brand as a whole. The former working royal has spent years trying to prove that she can thrive outside the constraints of the Firm – all whilst still commanding the same level of fascination worldwide.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
For Meghan, this is not just another royal tour to watch from afar – it showed her royal rival emerging as a powerful global figurehead.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Meghan will likely hope to match Catherine’s high profile and ability to influence. Catherine, however, far succeeds Meghan in these areas – especially with her power as a valued member of the Royal Family and the backing of the Firm itself. This undoubtedly shows that Meghan has a lot more to lose – she can imitate the optics of being a royal but can’t compete with the real thing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
