They say imitation is the highest form of flattery. But sometimes the person being imitated isn't flattered. That's the case with two women who are claiming the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, copied their book cover for her edit of British Vogue. Markle is the guest editor of the September issue of the legendary magazine.

The announcement that Markle is guest editing the magazine was just made. Less than 24 hours after the announcement, Samantha Brett and Steph Adams are accusing the Duchess of stealing their book cover. But the twist is, Markle was a contributor to their book Game Changers. Not only was she featured on the cover, but she wrote an essay to accompany the book's release three years ago.

When you see the cover of Game Changers and the September British Vogue, it's hard to deny the similarities. Each cover is a black and white grid featuring pictures of the women being profiled.

"It's obviously very flattering, she obviously likes our concept!" Samantha Brett told the Daily Mail. "I love Meghan and am a huge fan, but if what people are alerting us to is true, then it's extremely disappointing," she added.

Because there are so many people involved in the making of a magazine, it's hard to know for sure if Meghan had anything to do with the cover. However, there is one important difference. In addition to photos of the 15 influential women, all known for being at the forefront of social change, there's a 16th spot. That spot is a mirror, meant to reflect the image of the reader.

"The sixteenth space on the cover, a mirror, was included so that when you hold the issue in your hands, you see yourself as part of this collective," the Duchess explains via the announcement Instagram post.

The Daily Mail also pointed out similarities in the wording used to describe both the book and the British Vogue issue. The words "trail blazing" and "fearless" are used in the copy for the book and the description of the book. But to be fair, finding language to convey the same message.

Meghan Markle has become an icon in fashion and style, especially since her engagement to Prince Harry. So it's not a surprise that she would be tapped for such a special opportunity. In the world of fashion magazines, September is often the biggest issue of the year. So to trust someone outside of the normal editorial staff with the issue is a big deal.

Hopefully, this was more of an oversight on the part of the editorial staff and not intentional.
