Meghan Markle claimed that there is a rule in the Royal Family that members are not allowed to wear the same color as another member, especially if they are more senior. However, this claim was debunked by Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge and Princess Beatrice when they both wore pink to the wedding of Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan and Raiyah Al-Solh on May 19, 2023.

The video, which was posted on YouTube by Royally US, shows Meghan making the claim in an episode of her and Prince Harry's docuseries, "Harry & Meghan: An African Journey." She says, "It's my understanding you can't ever wear the same color as her majesty if there's a group event. But then you should also never wear the same color as someone who's more senior than yourself."
However, Catherine and Beatrice both wore pink to the Jordanian wedding, and Catherine is more senior than Beatrice. This suggests that there is no such rule in the Royal Family, or that the rule is not always followed.
The video has been met with mixed reactions online. Some people have praised Catherine and Beatrice for debunking Meghan's claim, while others have defended Meghan and said that she was simply trying to explain the rules of the Royal Family.
It is unclear whether Meghan was aware that Catherine and Beatrice were going to wear pink to the Jordanian wedding. If she was, it is possible that she was trying to stir up drama by making her claim about the Royal Family's fashion rules. However, it is also possible that she was simply mistaken about the rules.
