They say imitation is the biggest form of flattery and Meghan Markle has shown she is taking style inspiration from her sister-in-law Princess Kate after reported efforts to patch things up.
The relationship between the Duchess of Sussex and the Princess of Wales has been infamously turbulent over the last few years. The Sussexes made explosive claims about the Royal Family in their revealing Netflix documentary. And then Prince Harry continued to stir the pot in his debut memoir Spare - describing how his sister-in-law made his wife-to-be cry in a dress-fitting drama and an occasion where Kate refused to lend Meghan lipgloss.
But now, despite the icy relations between 42-year-old Meghan and Kate, also 42, it seems there is finally one thing they can agree on - their choice of winter footwear. Over in Canada, where the Sussexes are currently enjoying the Invictus Games one-year countdown celebrations, the former Suits actress was spotted out and about in Kate’s favourite pair of snow boots.
