Rebekah Vardy and Meghan Markle is a combination that no one saw coming.
One is married to a Prince estranged from the royal family, while another is a well-known WAG who is wed to a Premier Legaue winner.
There worlds may seem miles apart, but there are actually a lot of similarities between the two famous women.
Becky is currently embroiled in the ' Wagatha Christie ' legal battle with Coleen Rooney, while Meghan faced her own dispute against the Mail On Sunday newspaper for violating her privacy.
The judge in the Wagatha case, Mrs Justice Steyn, actually quoted part of the Duchess of Sussex's privacy case in relation to the striking out of certain parts of evidence.
But the most surprising link of all is that Meghan was reportedly being lined up to play Becky in a Hollywood movie back in 2016.

Off the back of Jamie Vardy's incredible rise from non-league football to Premier League champion, there were plans to create a big budget biopic.
Jamie started his football career at non-league minnows Stocksbridge Park Steels and also played for Halifax Town and Fleetwood Town before joining Leicester for £1million in 2012.
LA-based Brit Adrian Butchart, a producer and writer, agreed to make the movie with the Oscar-winning producers of The King’s Speech Gareth-Ellis Unwin and Simon Egan and their company Bedlam Productions.
But making of the film has been delayed, which means Meghan definitely won't be taking on the role as she has abandoned her acting career.
The Suits actress was only dating Prince Harry at the time but the pair have since married before enjoying a brief stint as a royal couple.
During an appearance on Good Morning Britain in 2016, Meghan was quizzed on who would be best to depict her in the proposed movie.
When host Piers Morgan mentioned the possibilty of Meghan to Rebekah, she replied: "That would be great, wouldn't it?"
Just last year, Butchart revealed that plans for the movie were still in the works behind-the-scenes and that fellow Oscar nominated duo Paul Tamasy and Eric Johnson, who wrote The Fighter, would also be involved in scripting it.
Butchart wants to make another football movie after writing the scripts for the first two films in the 'Goal' trilogy and has since held talks with Vardy, whoes story got even better least year when Leicester won the FA Cup.
The director, who lives in Hollywood, has already confirmed considering Zac Effron and Robert Pattinson to play Vardy but One Direction's Louis Tomlinson is also a surprise name in the frame
Butchart told the Mirror: “We have been following Jamie’s progress in the FA Cup and he’s done yet another record breaking achievement.
“We know Jamie to be among the world’s best players and his continued success is inspirational to us and the film.
“We had been expecting to shoot the movie last year but sadly for our industry, as with so many others, the pandemic got in the way.
“Especially given that the story of Leicester’s victory will require large crowd scenes for which we are keen to feature real fans rather than rely solely on computer generated imagery.
“We haven’t been slacking though and used the time to continue to hone the script and brought in some new exciting partners.
“We are now looking forward to casting and getting into production as soon as guidelines safely allow, hopefully with a full stadium.”
Rebekah is clearly a fan of Meghan as she praised her showing the world what a new mum's post-baby body really looks like.
Becky, who has three children with husband Jamie and two kids from previous relationships, applauded the Duchess of Sussex for unveiling her postpartum body in a flowing white dress back in 2019.
Meghan and heHarry introduced their newborn son Archie Harrison to the world at Windsor Castle - and the duchess made no attempt to conceal or flatten what remains of her baby bump.
Sharing a snap of the special royal moment on Instagram, Becky gushed: "This pic is everything.
"Showing the world that the baby bump doesn't magically vanish," she wrote, adding some praise emojis.
The WAG also took to Twitter with the same image to spread her joy further, tweeting: "Yes Queen. Showing the World that the baby bump doesn’t disappear the second the baby arrives.
"New Mum’s need to see more women in the public eye showing realistic post pregnancy bodies. I have so much respect for Meghan right now."
Becky, had done the same thing when she gave birth to her youngest son Finley in January 2017, sharing pictures of her stomach weeks after welcoming her and Jamie's second joint child in a bid to normalise postpartum bodies for other mums
Rebekah and Coleen Rooney have been embroiled in the bitter battle since Wayne's wife accused her of leaking 'false stories' about her private life in October 2019.
She came to the conclusion after carrying out a month-long 'sting operation' where she used her Instagram Stories to post fake scenarios and seeing which ones ended up in the news.
Vardy denies the allegations and sued Rooney for damages for libel over the 'untrue and unjustified defamatory attack'.
Rooney earned herself the nickname Wagatha Christie as fans joked her investigating skills were very much like mystery writer Agatha Christie.
On Tuesday this week, Rebekah was seen using Meghan as a style inspiration.
She opted to wear a £805 smart navy jacket pair with a matching pair of £300 trousers from Veronica Beard, a US brand which has previously been worn by the Duchess.
