However, royal fans in the thread quickly debunked the claim, pointing out that Kate actually wore a white suit in March 2022, a month before Meghan\u2019s appearance in April.<\/p>\n<p>                                            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" alt=\"house unit img\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/shutterstock_2480962387-scaled-e1753108795576.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\n                                            Clinically Studied Ingredients For Hydrated, Glowy Skin &#8212; This Duo Supports A Healthy Glow                                        <\/p>\n<p>                            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"hash lazy\" id=\"slide-1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Meghan-Markle-and-Kate-Middleton-wearing-white-pantsuits.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Splash News <\/p>\n<p>                            Royal Fans Defend Kate Middleton From Copying Meghan Markle&#8217;s Style<\/p>\n<p>Another comparison focused on a long navy blue coat. Meghan wore hers in 2018 at the launch of her recipe book, while Kate was seen in a similar style in 2022. But the thread took things a step further, showing archival photos of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shefinds.com\/collections\/kate-middleton-princess-diana-nautical-inspired-look\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Princess Diana<\/a> wearing a nearly identical coat in 1987\u2014ultimately concluding that the look predates both women, effectively dismissing the copying accusations.<\/p>\n<p>The original author of the thread said, &#8220;Some \u201ccopies\u201d are a reach. White shirt, black blazer? Black turtlenecks? Everyone has one of those in their closets,&#8221; adding, &#8220;The blue coat and black turtleneck combo was in fact worn by Diana a few times before.\u00a0Both Catherine and Meghan have channeled Diana\u2019s outfits a few times, one of which was a grey coat with velvet accents on the collar.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Fans gathered on Reddit to share their reactions to their similar outfits.<\/p>\n<p>                            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"hash lazy\" id=\"slide-2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Meghan-Markle-and-Kate-Middleton-wearing-blue-coats-.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Splash News <\/p>\n<p>Royal Fans React<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Catherine&#8217;s fashion history is well-documented.
