Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, and Sophie, Countess of Wessex, at the Royal Ascot horse race. The two royals were seen wearing coordinated outfits, which some have interpreted as a way of "squashing" the Sussexes' Netflix claim.
The Sussexes, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, signed a multi-million dollar deal with Netflix in 2020. However, the deal has been mired in controversy, with some critics accusing the Sussexes of using their royal connections to secure the deal.
The coordinated outfits worn by Catherine and Sophie have been seen as a way of showing that the Cambridges and the Wessexes are still united, despite the Sussexes' departure from the royal family. Some have also seen the outfits as a way of sending a message to Netflix, that the royal family is not to be trifled with.
It is unclear whether the coordinated outfits were intentional or not. However, they have certainly sparked a lot of discussion, both in the media and online.
Here are some of the reactions to the coordinated outfits:
"This is a clear message to Netflix that the royal family is not to be messed with."
"The Cambridges and the Wessexes are showing that they are still united, despite the Sussexes' departure."
"This is a power move by the royal family."
"The Sussexes are going to be furious."
Only time will tell what the long-term implications of the coordinated outfits will be. However, it is clear that they have sent a strong message to Netflix and the rest of the world.
