However, one particular moment has drawn online ridicule. While visiting the QuestScope Youth Center at the Za’atari refugee camp near Mafraq, Meghan joined children for a brief kickabout, playing football during the visit.
As photos circulated, critics quickly accused her of imitating Catherine, Princess of Wales.
According to Express, one commenter wrote: “Cosplaying Catherine again. Meghan is obsessed with Catherine.”
Another added: “Ok this is actually kind of funny… never kicked a ball in her life.”
A third said, “OMG !!!! They are trying so hard to be William and Catherine !! They left RF because they hated this kind of events and now look at them, they are soooo ridiculous !!! Look at her.”
A fourth commented: “Look, I’m sporty too, you know!!! Wow she’s obsessed with Catherine.”
Comparisons to the Princess of Wales
The criticism largely stems from Kate Middleton’s well-known enthusiasm for sport. The Princess of Wales is frequently photographed participating in athletic activities during official engagements and serves as patron of the Rugby Football Union.
