ROYALS fans have hailed the "graceful" Duchess of Cambridge, as reports claim Meghan's US star power is rapidly plummeting.
Royals fans have taken to Twitter to praise Kate Middleton, after Meghan Markle's controversial comments in her latest bombshell interview.
Writing on Twitter, commentator Nile Gardiner claimed that: "the tremendous grace and selflessness of the Duchess of Cambridge" are the "antithesis" of Meghan.
Many royals fans agreed, with one writing: "We are indeed blessed with this loyal dedicated woman with huge dignity and respect".
This comes as reports emerge of the Duchess of Sussex's plummeting star power in the United States.
Speaking to The Telegraph a US insider said: "Meghan is sort of regarded as tabloid fodder these days.
"I wouldn’t say her popularity has waned but her star draw has. She was riding on the cusp of being the Duchess, but a lot of their projects have failed and some of the lustre has gone.
"It would be unfair to say she’s not popular but we are doing less on her. We are more likely to do something on Prince William and Kate now."
Yesterday marked the 25th anniversary of Princess Diana’s passing, and reports suggest Prince William and Prince Harry commemorated the day apart.
Princess Diana died on August 31, 1997, in a tragic car crash that killed the royal, her boyfriend and their driver. The brothers were just 15 and 12 respectively at the time.

‘Women who marry’ into the Royal family ‘treated like throwaways’
Laura Hampson from the Independent marks Princess Diana’s death by questioning the treatment of women marrying into the family.
The journalist wrote: “By her own admission, Diana spent her time as a royal feeling like an outsider – despite being a friend of the family who’d been orbiting the royals since birth.”
She draw comparisons to Sarah Ferguson, who married Prince Andrew, who was left to “fare” the “public scrutiny” on her own after their 1992 separation.
“More recently we have seen the pattern repeat itself once more with the Duchess of Sussex,” Laura wrote.
Laura added: “Unless you are born royal, it seems that The Firm is unwilling to truly help or prepare any outsider that marries into it.
“Speaking to Bashir, Diana said she was told that public interest in her would wane once the wedding was over. But it didn’t.”
Diana was famously quoted saying: “I seemed to be on the front of a newspaper every single day, which is an isolating experience, and the higher the media put you, place you, is the bigger the drop.
“I was very daunted because as far as I was concerned I was a fat, chubby, 20-year-old, and I couldn’t understand the level of interest…
“No one sat me down with a piece of paper and said: ‘This is what is expected of you’.”

Mandela’s grandson tells Meg what she needs to do if she wants to compare herself to hero
Nelson Mandela’s grandson has issued advice to Meghan Markle, telling her what she needs to do if she wants to compare herself to the likes of an apartheid hero.
Zwelivelile ‘Mandla’ Mandela says the Duchess of Sussex needs to “get out there” and help others after she was criticised for comparing herself to the freedom fighter.
In a recent interview discussing her life with Harry and their kids beyond the Royal Family, she claimed to have been told the South African people celebrated her nuptials as they did Mandela’s freedom.
She revealed: “He said, ‘I just need you to know: When you married into this family, we rejoiced in the streets the same we did when Mandela was freed from prison.’ ”
But now Mandla said the two lack similarities as the work of one man to change a systematic inequality could not be compared to Meghan’s activism efforts to date.
He told The Times: “We would say to people that our struggle cannot be likened to people dancing in the streets and chanting for Madiba’s name.
“It has to speak to the scars and painful past we come from.”
