Kate Middleton has been branded the "Lionel Messi of looking and being interested" in others by a royal expert, while Meghan Markle is still looking for her own public persona.
The Princess of Wales was spotted out and about at the Royal Naval Station in Yeovilton, Somerset, on Monday (September 18). It was her first visit to the base as Commodore-in-Chief of the Fleet Air Arm since being bestowed the title by King Charles last month, the Daily Star previously reported.
Royal expert Kinsey Schofield likened Kate to the Inter Miami golden boy thanks to her impressive listening skills. Writing for news.com.au, Schofield said: "If there is one thing that Kate, the Princess of Wales has mastered with incredible aplomb it is her listening face.

"Never once has she ever been caught looking like she is bored or her attention has drifted. There is no debate โ the princess is the Lionel Messi of looking, and being, interested in other people."

โIt's a different story where Meghan is concerned, Schofield added. The commentator said the former Suits star still hasn't settled on a public persona, unlike the future Queen.
"If we look at Kate and Meghan right now, the former has built and grown her image and role over the course of a ten years plus while Meghan jumped from guise to role to cause like someone throwing things at a wall to see what sticks," Schofield continued.

"What this all looks like is that Meghan is still casting around to find a public image slash persona that 'fits,' if you will, after a year that has seen her favourability numbers spectacularly tank on both sides of the Atlantic."
The Daily Star previously reported Meghan hung back at the Invictus Games in Germany earlier this month, allowing husband Prince Harry to take centre stage. Body language expert Inbaal Honigman told us: "Meghan's speech at the Invictus Games shows us that she really wants to do a good job, and feels proud of her husband for his incredible achievement with founding the Games.
"As she walks onto the stage, the former TV star keeps looking back, as if she's checking in with Harry to ensure that she's standing on the right spot, that he's happy with everything she's doing."
Meanwhile Kate has been spotted out in public on numerous occasions as she steps up her official appearances. As well as visiting the Royal Naval Station, the future Queen was recently snapped chatting to inmates at HMP High Down, a Category C men's prison in Surrey, to learn about the work The Forward Trust are doing to help recovering addicts behind bars.
But not everyone is thrilled by Kate's recent outings. Following her trip to the naval base anti-monarchy group Republic took to X (formerly Twitter) to blast the Princess of Wales, branding the day out "pointless" after she took a helicopter from Windsor to Somerset โ the equivalent of a two-hour drive.
"She could have gone by car," they wrote. "About two hours from Windsor. But instead flies by helicopter for an entirely pointless visit."
But others were not so scathing. One person wrote following the official outing: "Sheโs so lovely outside and inside, respectful and loyal. A great Princess of Wales."
