Both articles talk about different things. Meghan is seen as a woman with too much 'vanity' to be a mother; whereas Kate Middleton is described as being 'protective' as a mother-to-be.

Both articles discuss pregnancy but with Meghan Markle the writer thinks she shows too much 'vanity' when cradling her baby bump; whereas the writer of Kate Middleton's article thinks she 'cradles' her bump 'tenderly'.

Meghan is showing off whilst pregnant; whereas Kate is careful.
