Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton copy Queen’s fashion lead in these key looks
Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle are two of the most fashionable women on the planet but there is one woman they must bow down to – or should that be curtsy to – when it comes to style… the Queen.
The 92-year-old monarch stepped out in a peach coat and matching hat on Sunday as she attended a church service in Norfolk, similar to an ensemble worn by the 37-year-old Duchess of Sussex last week on a visit to the National Theatre.
She may have taken inspiration from Meghan just this once, but it’s normally the duchesses who are copying their grandmother-in-law, especially when it comes to eye-popping colours.
Here we look back on the occasions when the Queen of style inspired Kate and Meghan.
Hot pink
Winning the gold medal here is Her Majesty, who wore hot pink with black accessories first at the launch of the Queen’s Baton Relay for the Commonwealth Games in 2017.
Kate gets silver for her efforts when she visited Coventry for the day with Prince William in 2018.
Take heart though Kate, if you’re going to be a runner-up to anyone, at least it’s the Queen.
Red
Channelling her inner Mrs Claus, the Queen enjoyed the annual Christmas Day service at Sandringham in festive red in 2015.
But Meghan, teaming black with her red dress, also made the Queen’s festive look work in a hot climate when she visited Tonga with Prince Harry last year.
Thankfully they both opted to leave the Santa fur trim at home.
Yellow
The weather might have been a bit drab but sunglasses were in order with the Queen’s bright yellow coat and hat at another garden party at Buck Palace in May 2017.
Channelling her a year later, Meghan wore an equally bold but beautiful yellow dress at the Your Commonwealth Youth Challenge reception at Marlborough House.
But who put who in the shade?
Fuchsia
Mum-of-three Kate couldn’t pass up the opera-tunity to wear a bold Oscar de la Renta suit dress when she visited the Royal Opera House in January this year.
The 37-year-old duchess, who normally goes for more subtle shades, clearly took inspiration from the Queen’s flowery fuchsia number in 2017 while she was attending a State visit by the King and Queen of Spain.
They both hit those high notes in style.
Teal
Kate and her Maj both clearly have a feel for teal. The duchess was in Emilia Wickstead again, this time visiting BBC Broadcasting House in November 2018, while the Queen was opening the National Cyber Security Centre in 2017. It’s unconfirmed who leaked her outfit intel to Kate…
