Camilla and Kate often seem worlds apart in their fashion choices.
The Queen generally opts for more neutral tones while the Princess of Wales favours bold, bright colours.
But their senses of style are not as different as they might first appear. And it’s not just down to a shared love of countryside chic.
Because the two have dressed a remarkably similar way on a number of occasions – from polka dots to green pussy bows. At times, it is almost as if Camilla, Kate’s step-mother-in-law, has been taking notes!
