Princess Kate is the "perfect princess" that Meghan Markle "could never be", and their latest videos "prove it," a royal commentator has said. The Princess of Wales and the Duchess of Sussex both released videos this week promoting their individual projects.

Meghan celebrated the launch of the teaser trailer for the new season of her Netflix show, while Kate released a new video celebrating summer as part of Kensington Palace's quarterly Mother Nature video series. The Duchess was seen mingling with a new line-up of celebrities, including US model and TV personality Chrissy Teigen and Queer Eye star Tan France, as well as podcaster Jay Shetty and his cookbook author wife Radhi Devlukia. Chefs Samin Nosrat, Clare Smyth, Christina Tosi, Jose Andres, and David Chang, and Meghan's close friends, make-up entrepreneur Jamie Kern Lima, pilates instructor Heather Dorak, and makeup artist Daniel Martin, will also appear in the trailer.

Meanwhile, the future Queen encouraged people to "cherish the bonds of love and friendship" over the warmest season of the year. The Princess launched the series in spring as a celebration of the changing seasons across the UK.

Now, a royal commentator claimed the stark contrast between the two videos shows just how different the two women are.

The Telegraph's Judith Woods said Kate lets others shine during her appearances and accused Meghan of "craving stardom".

She wrote: "I thought of that highly entertaining mismatch when both the Duchess of Sussex and the Princess of Wales released blockbusting sequels on the very same day this week."

Ms Woods said that she would have liked Kate to appear in the new video, but added: "A great deal of Kate's charisma derives from her instinctive ability to let those about her shine, whether they are charity bosses or little children.

"Facilitating connection and community is the unique power of the House of Windsor at its best.

"By comparison, Meghan is a natural performer who will always be - crave to be - the star.

"The camera loves her smile but allowing others to have their moment simply isn't in her skill set. That's not necessarily a bad thing. But it is a thing."

She said that the two recent videos prove how Meghan would have "never fitted in at the Firm where team playing is the order of the day".

The commentator concluded: "Meghan has never enjoyed playing second fiddle, but if she wants to rehabilitate herself, she would do well to take her cue from the Princess of Wales, who unerringly shows that respect is earned, not through TV specials and triteness, but acts of service and thoughtful contributions to national life."
