While Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton each have distinctive styles, there are some pieces in their wardrobes—items of clothing, shoes, and jewelry—that both royal women share. Here, a comprenshive look at the clothing, jewelry, and shoes that both the Princess of Wales and the Duchess of Sussex have worn in recent years:
1. Ralph Lauren striped button down shirt
This past July, Kate wore a striped Ralph Lauren cotton button down—one that Meghan had worn, in a different color, to the Wimbledon finals in 2018. Meghan wore the blue-and-white version again this summer as well, and both are currently available to shop online:

2. Aquazzura bow-tie pumps
Meghan owns numerous pair of Aquazzura heels, including these bow tie pumps (she also has the bow tie ballet flats and sandals). She’s worn them numerous times, including above, at her first solo outing as a royal. Kate, too, is a fan of Aquazzura, though she’s spotted in the brand less frequently than her sister-in-law. She also owns two pairs of the bow tie pumps (in black and blush), which she’s worn to the National Portrait Gallery reopening (above) and a pre-Coronation lunch at Buckingham Palace.

Meghan has the jeans in the “We the Animals” wash while Kate has them in the “Now or Never” wash.

6. Strathberry bags
One handbag brand that both Kate and Meghan love is Strathberry, with both royal women carrying numerous bags from the Scottish label.

8. Patterned Burberry coats
Burberry has long been a favorite brand of the British royal family—they have even collaborated with King Charles on numerous collections—and Kate and Meghan are no exception to loving their signature checked coats. While both Burberry toppers, above, are no longer for sale, there are plenty of other versions that have similar style:

9. Cartier watches
Kate and Meghan both favor timepieces from Cartier; Meghan wears the Cartier Tank Française watch, while Kate opts for the Ballon Bleu de Cartier stainless steel bracelet watch.
10. Castañer wedges
In warm weather, a favorite sandal brand for royal women is Castañer, and both Kate and Meghan have stepped out in wedges from the brand. Both women have worn the “Carina” style, with just different wraps around the ankles.
The shoes are also a T&C Tried & True of digital lifestyle director Roxanne Adamiyatt, who wrote, “They have the classic braided wedge and woven upper with ribbon ties that wrap around the ankles, and have soft rounded toes—the kind of shoe that you buy knowing it will look great with just about anything, no matter the year. Case in point, they looked just as great with Markle’s working royal attire as they did with my summer dresses. Better still, they aren’t too casual and add polish as opposed to making a look more dressed down.”

11. Sorel snow boots
On the flip side, in colder temperatures, Kate and Meghan have both opted for Sorel snow boots; Kate in the “Tivoli” style during a royal visit to Stockholm and Meghan in the “Joan of Arctic” ones during the Invictus Games in Canada.

13. Diane von Fürstenberg “Zarita” lace dress
In a major throwback to Meghan’s pre-royal days, she wore a short version of this “Zarita” dress from Diane von Fürstenberg to an event promoting Suits. Kate, meanwhile, wore the longer version of the dress to a 2014 engagement. A rare moment where the two women wore the same (ish) outfit.
Since the dress is over a decade old, it is no longer for sale online, but DVF has other lace dresses available to purchase, like this “Parker” mini dress:
