They are both renowned for their elegant wardrobes, so it is perhaps of little surprise the Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle have similar ideas when it comes to pulling together a stylish winter look.

Sister-in-laws Meghan, 37, and Kate, 36, stepped out in chic ensembles in almost the exact same shade of burgundy as they carried out separate engagements in London today.

Thrifty Kate recycled a berry-coloured double breasted blazer and skirt by French label Paule Ka as she visited University College London.

Hours earlier mother-to-be Meghan, who is expecting her first child with Prince Harry next spring, donned a £282 Club Monaco dress in a strikingly similar shade as she visited the Hubb Community Kitchen to meet survivors of the Grenfell Tower tragedy.

Speaking to FEMAIL, celebrity stylist Rochelle White and Scott Henshall, former creative director of Mulberry, weighed in on how each royal wore the colour – and what their outfits say about their individual styles.

‘This is a classic Kate look I think. Sleek, stylish and represents her and her style. She added a simple black bag that finished off the look.

‘Meanwhile with Meghan’s outfit I feel that this was a lot more relaxed and fun. With the purple on purple or burgundy colour it really compliments her skin tone.

‘I think that Meghan has chosen an outfit that trendy, fun and a good representation of her and her growing style into the royals.’
