Somehow I feel that too.
It definitely is not about actual matter like precedence, but they would be compared together on dressing, jewelry, engagements, etc. etc. no matter on what aspects. Probably that's the reason. (and honestly I have already seen some people comparing them )
I have a feeling that as time passes, what we're basically going to be seeing as far as Kate and Meghan is two women who become close as sisters-in-law. Of course the fashionistas will focus on the differences in looks, styles and who wore the most expensive piece of jewelry or who wore more on loan from the Queen (which is a no-brainer as Kate is a future Queen) but all of that is superficial and print to fill spaces.
Up until now, I've always seen Will & Kate & Harry as the Three Musketeers that are close and work side by side as a team. With Meghan possibly joining the troupe, I'll just have to rename them the Four Musketeers. Of course it'll take up most of the post just typing out The Royal Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Duke and Duchess of (Sussex or whatever) but I can definitely see where Meghan will be a positive addition to this foundation and its causes.
A lot of the focus recently has been Meghan's fit into the British scheme of things. That is kind of one sided in my opinion. A lot of Americans like myself hold the British and their royal family as something wonderful to know about and to follow and I think with Meghan joining the family, Americans will feel a closeness to the UK even more. I remember not too long ago that a man wrote to HM, The Queen pleading with her to take the US back which HM responded to very politely. Its comical in its own way but underlining it all is a realization that the British way of doing things with a constitutional monarchy may be the way to go when all is said and done.

There is a lot of divisiveness rampant in the States these days and a lot of racial tensions present and from an American point of view, to see divisiveness being thrown to the wind, a couple from both sides of the pond united with an aim towards making this planet better for all of us and the ability to overcome any obstacles that stand in their way gives us hope that if two people can do something like this, its possible that our societies can also overcome such issues also.
The wonderful love story of Harry and Meghan have so many positives to it if we look for them. Paramount at the top of the list is the happiness of the two people involved and everything else is secondary. The thing is that with looking for all the negatives surrounding this union, the things that could be the best things that happen since sliced bread get overlooked because of bias.
Nothing is ever unicorns and rainbows but as one of my favorite poster has for a signature with a quote attributed to Abraham Lincoln, "“If you look for the bad in mankind expecting to find it, you surely will.” Its all how we look at something.
