KATE Middleton turned heads with her latest fashion choice when she stepped out wearing her sister-in-law Meghan Markle’s favourite high heels.
The Princess of Wales chose to wear a sophisticated white Jenny Pakcham dress with a simple black trim around the neckline and waist, as she attended the Realm Governors General and Prime Ministers Lunch at London’s Buckingham Palace.

Kate appears to have fallen in love with the brand too
Royal fans recognised them as one of Meghan’s old favourites
The 41-year-old, who was side by side with her husband Prince William on the countdown to the Coronation, completed her look with a pair of simple black shoes made by Italian designer Deneuve.
But it wasn’t long before eagle-eyed Royal fans pointed out that Kate’s choice of shoe looked very familiar – as they’d previously seen them on the former Duchess of Sussex.
Meghan, also 41, was snapped wearing the brand’s £490 Aquazzura stilettos, which feature a simple bow at the back, on several occasions during her time as a working Royal.
The first was back in 2018 when she attended the Queen’s Young Leaders reception in 2018.
She also chose to wear them once more at the Centenary of the Armistice Service in November 2018, which was held at Westminster Abbey.
While the former Suits actress even wore the Aquazzura heels to mark her first solo engagement without husband Prince Harry.
They were also packed in her suitcase for her Royal tour of Australia and New Zealand where she wore them a string of other times.
And Meghan’s obsession with the brand continued when she was also seen to be modelling a pair of the label’s suede Matilde heels, which cost £490, for her engagement photo call.
Now Kate, who is famed for never putting a fashion foot wrong, appears to have fallen in love with the brand herself.
While she’s previously worn some Deneuve designs in the past, this is the first time the mum-of-three is thought to have chosen to wear identical ones to Meghan.
This comes after Kate has made several public appearances in recent days in the lead up to King Charles’ Coronation.
With excitement reaching fever pitch, Kate and William have been out and about meeting Royal fans.
This included a trip on the London underground’s newly opened Elizabeth line, named after William’s late grandmother, the Queen.
The couple – who are parents to Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louie – also stopped by at a local Soho pub.
During their visit to the Dog & Duck, Kate and William thanked the business and others like it, as they prepared for one of their busiest times to date this Bank Holiday weekend.
They were also pictured walking into the Coronation rehearsals at Westminster Abbey.
And since, the pair joined the King as they mingled with international Prime Ministers ahead of the much-anticipated crowning ceremony.
