The Cambridges have been accused of "one-upmanship"

And then the same evening three new photos were posted on the Kensington Royal account of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their three children in a rare series of off-duty snaps as they explored Kate’s garden.
It just so happened that the launch of Kate’s plot and the Sussexes anniversary fell on the same day, but some have accused the couples of trying to "out do" one another amid rumours of a “royal rift.”
According to the a royal watcher said: “It was a case of anything you can do, we can do better.”
The Express reports that aides are concerned about diary “clashes” and said in this instance “our diary planning could have been better.”
Sources reportedly acknowledged to the paper that “there have been days in the past few weeks when the left hand did not know what the right hand was doing.”
