Is Kate Middleton copying Meghan's style? Duchess spotted in camel coat very similar to one worn by sister-in-law
While Kate Middleton has been praised for her impeccable sense of fashion numerous times in the past, it seems she took inspiration from her sister-in-law Meghan Markle during her latest outing in Wales. The Duchess of Cambridge, 38, was snapped sporting a $458 Massimo Dutti camel coat that looked eerily similar to the tan $453 Reiss coat Meghan wore during her visit to Canada house earlier this month.
Both their woolen coats featured fold-down labels, a tailored waist embellished with buttons, buttoned sleeves, and two pockets at hip height. Kate completed her look with Ralph Lauren boots, a brown leopard print Zara skirt similar to the silk coat Meghan had worn, and a polo neck jumper. The brown and tan color palette of the look was almost the same as that of Meghan's, who had visited Canada House in London earlier this month before hers and Prince Harry's bombshell announcement that they would be stepping down from their royal duties and moving to Canada.
There is also further indication that the pair like shopping in the same avenues, with a $118 brown silk skirt that Meghan wore last month being sourced from Massimo Dutti, the same high-end street store where Kate bought her camel coat. Kate was in Cardiff for the second-leg of her 24-hour, three-day trip around Britain to launch a landmark survey on early childhood development, according to the Daily Mail.
She had kicked off the tour in Birmingham, where she raised awareness of the poll, 'Five Big Questions Under Five,' which aimed to "spark a national conversation" to help create "lasting change for generations to come."
In Cardiff, she will be attending a baby sensory class at Ely and Careau Children's Center -- which provides services to children and their families, helps youngsters with special needs and offers adult education, parenting support, and community education teams -- where she will hear about the support that parents receive. The center also provides open access play, breakfast, after-school activities, and holiday clubs, as well as health visitors, speech and language therapists, partners such as Sure Start and Language and Play, and works with community partners such as the Salvation Army and Barnardo's.
