How to dress like a princess, according to Meghan and Kate

Nude shoes go with pretty much any outfit, so they are a great accessory to have, as demonstrated by both Duchesses! Here, Kate wears nude pumps to the Diamond Jubilee Service of Thanksgiving with a formal peach lace dress and pillbox hat.

Meghan opted to wear nude stiletto pumps when she joined Prince Harry on a visit to Sussex. She went for a modern take, teaming the neutral shoes with a leather pencil skirt and relaxed silk blouse.

Capes are a major fashion trend, and Duchess Kate is one of the royals to embrace it. She wore a tailored coat with cape detail on a visit to Northern Ireland.

A radiant Duchess of Sussex wore a dress with cape detail for her landmark first-ever official engagement with Queen Elizabeth II.

Duchess Kate is a major fan of skinny jeans, and here she paired dark denim with a black turtleneck and tailored plaid jacket.

Meghan can’t resist a monochrome look, and teamed her black skinny jeans with a double-breasted white pinstriped blazer and black and white purse.

Duchess Kate has a selection of pink dresses in her wardrobe, including this look with a softly pleated A-line skirt, that she wore during a tour of Australia and New Zealand with husband Prince William.

Meghan also proves that no princess wardrobe would be complete without a dress in a sweet pastel. While pregnant with Archie Harrison, the Duchess wore a pretty soft pink dress worn with a matching jacket for a visit to the National Theatre.

The Duchess of Cambridge has been a member of the Royal Family for nearly a decade, and has an extensive hat wardrobe to match. For an Easter Service at St George’s Chapel in Windsor, Kate donned an architectural look with a bow that complemented her coat dress.

Meghan loves a good navy blue look, which is what she chose for the 91st Field of Rememberance engagement with the Royal Family at Westminster Abbey. Completing her ensemble was a sophisticated hat – velvet with a veil – a must-have for any princess.

Yes, even the always dressed up Duchess Kate has sneakers in her wardrobe! The future Queen wore a sporty green look with a dark blazer, finishing off her outfit with, what else? Comfy sneaks.

Not every piece in a Princess’ closet is formal. When the Duke and Duchess of Sussex visited New Zealand, Meghan dressed down in skinny jeans, a windbreaker and a royal must-have, white tennis shoes.

British royals have lots of traditional tartan in their wardrobes, and one great way to wear the traditional pattern is in a statement overcoat. Duchess Kate wore this green and navy coat on a visit to Dundee, Scotland.

When Duchess Meghan visited Scotland, she wore a nearly identical look but infused with her more laidback style. Her coat was more of a masculine fit, and hit at a midi length.

Well, we have to say this one is a no-brainer. To truly dress like a Princess, you have to be ready to rock a tiara. While Duchess Kate wore this heirloom for a state dinner with the Dutch royals, for most of us its more practical to wear a more modest (and store-bought) version.

The only time we have seen Meghan Markle wear a tiara was on her wedding day as she tied the knot with Prince Harry. She wore a sparkler from the British royals’ collection.

A shirtdress, which is both practical and stylish, is a required piece in any Princess’ wardobe. Here Duchess Kate wears a pretty floral print dress for the Back to Nature Festival.

Duchess Meghan loves classic-but-modern, effortless pieces and a shirtdress fits the bill. Here she wears a blue silk shirtdress with a tie waist during a visit to Tonga in 2019.

Top handle purses are a major accessories trend this season, and even Duchess Kate, who is a big fan of clutch bags, has gotten on board. We love her cute burgundy Chanel top handle purse - put it on our wish list!

Meghan put her own twist on the trend with this funky tortoise shell top handle bag with scarf strap, which she carried in 2019 as she attended the WellChild Awards at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London.

The final must-have is not just a evening gown, but a dress that will make JAWS DROP. Duchess Kate showed her Hollywood side on the red carpet at the BAFTAs in this one-shoulder gown with 3D floral detail.

Who could forget the moment newlywed Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan emerged to speed off to their reception after their 2018 royal wedding? With her Prince in a tuxedo and the bride wearing a sexy halterneck gown, the couple sparked comparisons to James Bond and a Bond girl.
