Duchesses of the same age: why Kate Middleton lost the” age battle ” of Meghan Markle
Both daughters-in-law of Queen Elizabeth II are 38 years old. However, in search engines, users are constantly looking for the answer to the question “why does Kate Middleton look older than Meghan Markle”. Why, indeed? Editorial Board Passion.ru I turned to the face expert for clarification.
Kate or Megan?
Kate Middleton is objectively good. The wife of Prince William has regular, fine features, luxurious hair and enviable slimness. If Meghan Markle, who gave birth to her first child in may, has not yet completely got rid of the extra pounds, then Kate manages to get in shape after giving birth in just a few months. Having given birth to three children in six years, she boasts a girlish waist. And judging by her mother, she would still have a slim figure after sixty.
According to numerous ratings, Kate is much more loved at home than Meghan Markle. She always looks perfect, observes Protocol, never says too much, is not seen in the fabulous expenses — the ideal wife of the future king.
But she has her own haters. They keep noting that the 38-year-old Duchess of Cambridge allegedly looks older than her years. In the paparazzi photo, you can see crow’s feet around her eyes, wrinkles on her forehead and nasolabial folds. But the Prince’s wife can afford the most expensive care. Is it a reflection of the everyday concerns of a mother with many children, or is it all the fault of genetics?

Meghan Markle looks much more relaxed compared to Kate Middleton. Almost all the paparazzi photos (we don’t take the front ones into account) show her smiling sincerely. Prince Harry’s wife is generally more open and sociable, used to working in front of cameras and has all the skills of self-presentation. She does not hesitate to speak in public, and uses every opportunity to speak out. Kate public speech is much more difficult, she is embarrassed and does not hide it.
Meghan Markle has only one child so far, she does not “bend” to the standards of life of the Royal family, but manages to dictate her terms. Like all African-American women, her skin is thick, and there are no wrinkles around her eyes or nasolabial folds.

What affects aging?
A number of factors, including the shape of the skull, facial expressions, lifestyle, weight jumps and even posture.

“The shape of the skull of Kate Middleton is more elongated — compared to Meghan Markle. A wide and rounded face shape keeps you young longer. Megan’s powerful lower jaw indicates her physical abilities and high stress tolerance. Meghan Markle’s African roots add a plus to her genetics. Megan’s skin is firmer than Kate’s.
Kate Middleton’s facial muscles look tense. This may be due to the woman’s psychoemotional state. For example, if we often compress the lips and jaw, squint and strain the whole face, sooner or later, due to muscle spasm, the facial tissues do not receive the necessary nutrients. Because of this, the skin becomes dull and thin. Lips lose their natural volume. A layer of subcutaneous fat protects the skin from premature aging. And if the face loses weight, the skin may age prematurely. Meghan Markle has a fuller face — unlike Kate Middleton, she is not so thin.
Lifestyle is also important. Megan regularly practices yoga, and also, as she said in an interview, does gymnastics for the face. This will allow Markle to prolong her youth.”
The birth of three children, according to the expert, also left a mark on the state of Kate Middleton’s face. We have no doubt that she has enough helpers around the house, but raising three children requires patience and strength. “Please note that Meghan Markle does not have the nasolabial wrinkles that have already appeared in Kate Middleton. This is due to the height of the filtrum on the face (the filtrum or lip groove is a small hollow under the nose)and pronounced cheekbones.”

Thus, if you analyze the genetics and lifestyle of the two duchesses, Meghan, according to the expert, was more lucky. Kate is also advised to relax more, and in the care to focus on hardware techniques to moisturize the skin. Who’s to say that Kate doesn’t do anything?
We remember the relatively recent statement of the doctor of the London clinic Dr. Medi Spa (near Kensington Palace) about how Kate resorts to “baby”, minimal portions of Botox. On Instagram, the institution even posted a before and after photo: one of the Duchess with a concerned expression and wrinkles on her forehead, the other — her skin is flawless. However, the photo quickly disappeared, and Kensington Palace said that the doctor’s words are “unequivocally untrue”.
