Despite their stylistic differences, both ladies have totally fraternized with their wardrobes in the past! We’ve rounded up all the times Kate and Meghan have dressed alike.
Monochrome monarchy
We’ll start with the newest. In 2022, Meghan and Kate were monochrome on us.
Kate wowed fans wearing a stunning off-the-shoulder black and white Roland Mouret dress at the film’s premiere Top Gun Maverick and Meghan opted for a similar look during her visit to NYC, but in the form of overalls.

Chess mate
Last month, mother-of-three Kate made a festive statement in tartan as she stepped out to plant a tree in memory of the late Queen as part of a global green initiative. For the outdoor event, she wore her favorite double-breasted tartan coat from Holland Cooper.
Duchess Meghan wore a very similar style back in 2018, when she and Prince Harry visited Edinburgh on their official trip to Scotland. Meghan braved the chilly conditions in a patriotic Burberry tartan coat. The coat features the same blue and green plaid print and was a standout winter piece. Both royal ladies look amazing!

Princess Plaid
The royal family loves the plaid look and Meghan looks stunning in this coat with belt detail.
Back in 2017, Kate wore this plaid number in Manchester. Stunning!
Enchanting in red
Kate memorably wore this beautiful red dress in 2016 during her visit to Canada. Her Preen dress was one of the highlights of the trip.
Also in 2016, Meghan appeared on Today’s show in the US wearing a similar look. It even has the same ultra-feminine pleated skirt.
Beautiful in lace
Both Meghan and Kate wore Diane Von Furstenberg lace dresses. The 75-year-old fashion designer took to Instagram in December, posting two pictures of Princesses Kate and Meghan wearing the same lace dress by her brand DVF, but in different lengths.
She jokingly said: “Once upon a time two beautiful women married two kind and handsome princes… (both here wearing the same @dvf dress called Zorita),” she captioned the post. “I wish them all peace and love in the new year!”
Camel Queens
In January 2020, during one of her last appearances as a working royal, Meghan Markle headed to Canada House with husband Prince Harry, wearing a satin skirt, turtleneck, Jimmy Choo high heels and a stunning camel coat by Reiss. It proved to be a huge hit with customers, who got on a waiting list to buy it after it was worn royally.
In November 2022, the Princess of Wales visited Scarborough wearing an opulent beige Max&Co coat layered over a long-sleeve beige knit turtleneck dress with a slim fit and finished off with a brown Boden belt.
Minting
Okay, so our last dress isn’t exactly the same, but they’re both dresses from Self Portrait and what’s more, they’re both designed in mint green. In 2016, Meghan attended the Woman of the Year Awards wearing this stunning guipure lace maxi dress with V-neck detail.
During the royal tour of the Caribbean in 2022, Kate wore this beautiful mint green dress to visit a primary school in the Bahamas, which featured button detailing and delicate puff sleeves.
