Royal fans have sparked a debate over whether Prince Harry's ex-girlfriend Chelsy Davy took inspiration from Meghan Markle's recent family photo.
The controversy centres on Davy's Mother's Day image shared on March 30, which bore a striking resemblance to a photo posted by the Duchess of Sussex just one week earlier.
Both mothers wore white linen shirts whilst posing with their children in what many described as similar settings.
The images divided opinion among royal watchers, with some suggesting the similarity was merely coincidental while others believe it showed Davy following Meghan's aesthetic lead.
