Just when you thought Megan Markle’s influencer era couldn’t get any more bizarre, she’s taken to Instagram to—you guessed it—cosplay Princess Diana. Because what else does Megan do besides relive the ’90s like she was actually there? This time, it’s all about a plain purple ribbed sweater. 

But not just any sweater—no, this is a Northwestern University sweater, eerily similar to one Princess Diana once wore in 1996. Naturally, Megan saw an opportunity to remind the world that she, too, attended Northwestern. Because, of course, that’s relevant.

The Instagram reel features Megan strolling through her Montecito garden, smiling in oversized sunglasses—because nothing says “relatable influencer” quite like rich people pretending to be carefree. 

At one point, a child (Archie? Lilibet? A neighbor’s kid borrowed for authenticity?) pipes up with, “Mommy, I can do it if you want me to,” as he or she waters some plants with a hose. Meanwhile, in the background, Harry giggles like a supportive sidekick while Megan shakes up some citrusy cocktail. Because apparently, this is what we’re doing now instead of, you know, actual work.

In true Megan fashion, the outfit choice was anything but random. The Northwestern sweater was famously worn by Diana when she visited the school’s campus in 1995. Now, Megan just happens to parade around in an almost identical one on camera for the world to see. 

And because nothing in Megan’s world is a coincidence, people were quick to speculate whether she even dug up Diana’s actual sweater. Spoiler alert: it’s a Nordstrom knockoff, which, by the way, is still available for purchase if you’re in the market for royal cosplay. Just don’t expect Nordstrom to be thrilled about it. Word on the street is they’d rather not be associated with this nonsense.

And that brings us to the million-dollar question: Did Megan attend Northwestern simply because Diana had once been photographed wearing their merch? A wild theory? Maybe. But at this point, nothing seems out of reach for Megan’s obsession with single-white-femaling her way through the royal family archives. 

Once upon a time, people would have scoffed at the idea that a grown woman would construct her entire personality around a mother-in-law she never even met. But here we are, watching Megan borrow more than just Diana’s son.

It’s actually impressive in a way. Despite her highly esteemed acting career (if you count third-rate cable TV roles and briefcase-holding gigs), Megan never quite managed to pull off a leading role. But thanks to her dedication to performance art, she’s now secured a starring role in *Diana 2.0: The Social Media Years*. And let’s talk about this influencer “launch.” 

If this is her big comeback, it’s painfully amateurish. The shaky camera work, the forced aesthetic, the fact that she’s basically just running around in a sweater giggling at trees—this is the worst influencer soft launch in history. Even TikTok teens with ring lights and lip gloss sponsorships have more polish than this mess.

It’s also embarrassingly transparent. She’s clearly baiting engagement, and it’s working—rage clicks are still clicks, after all. But let’s call it what it is: creepy, calculated, and frankly exhausting. The weirdest part of all this? It’s like Megan is actively trying to get people to call her out. She *wants* the backlash. 

She wants people to talk about how unhinged and bizarre this is because, at least then, she’s still relevant. It’s as if she knows her actual career prospects are non-existent, so the only way forward is to keep doubling down on Diana cosplay and internet outrage.

The whole thing is giving Lifetime movie villain, and honestly, it’s a little sad. The obsession is real, the cringe is real, and the desperation is off the charts. Nordstrom, if you know what’s good for you, you might want to pull that sweater from shelves before this whole thing gets even creepier. 

Because at this rate, it won’t be long before Megan is posing in Diana’s old revenge dress and staging her own paparazzi chase.
