Meghan Markle was blasted by fans for “copying” Victoria Beckham in her latest photo promoting her new podcast interview during her visit to Australia next month. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be travelling Down Under in mid-April to attend various engagements linked to their individual passions.

Meghan is expected to take the lead at a women-only event in Sydney. She will be interviewed on stage at the £1,440-per-person event.

Her appearance was announced by Gemma O'Neill, host of the Her Best Life podcast, which is organising the 300-person event.

The announcement came with a new picture of the Duchess, appearing to be sitting down with one forearm on her leg, as well as her other elbow, with her right hand placed on the side of her face.

Royal fans found the picture bore many similarities to Victoria Beckham’s Netflix poster for her eponymous documentary, in which she is looking into the camera with her hand resting on her cheek.

Both women wear white shirts in the shots.

One user wrote on X under a post comparing the two: “Copy cat.”

Another one blasted: “Yikes! That’s creepy.”

A fifth one added: “Good lord. Every damned time. Even the background is the same exact shade.”

A sixth one wrote: “Wow spot on comparison! Unbelievable!”
