This Spanish politician – often compared to Meghan Markle – has been accused of copying the princess’ coat when she introduced her own baby just weeks after Archie was born.

According to reports, Begona Villacis, 40, the Spanish Ciudadanos (Citizens) candidate for the City Council of Madrid, recently visited the polling booth with her new baby Ines in a fetching trench coat.

Many publications, including popular Spanish weekly magazine ‘Hola’, claimed that the politician deliberately chose to present her baby to residents while wearing a coat similar to the one Markle wore with Prince Harry and son Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.

The pretty brunette is often compared to Markle and their lives appear to following a bizarrely similar course as well.

They both got married on 19th May 2018 and their firstborns arrived within weeks of one another.

The Spanish politician is always being asked about her resemblance to the American former TV star and she once wrote: “People always stop me in the street to ask me if I am Meghan.

“It can be very funny sometimes. My daughters tease me about it a lot.”

She once joked on social media: “Between Buckingham Palace and the City Hall, I am sorry but I am going to stay in Madrid.”

Villacis has also amassed a large social media following since being favourably compared to the Duchess of Sussex.
