Kate Middleton borrows from Meghan's stylebook with this wardrobe classic - shop styles from £35
Kate Middleton seems to have taken some styling tips from Meghan Markle during her recent visit to Mull, Scotland - an outing that also happened to mark her and Prince William 's 14th wedding anniversary.
The Princess of Wales opted for a chic countryside look, consisting of a blue button-up shirt, tweed blazer (her exact one is the Double Breasted Blazer from Holland Cooper), brown skinny trousers and chunky brown boots.
And if the outfit felt familiar, it might be because Meghan Markle was recently spotted in a similar style blue shirt during her appearance on Prince Harry's Netflix documentary, Heart of Invictus.
We don't have the exact details on button-up Kate is wearing (although we think it could be Max Mara's offering), but the exact shirt Meghan opted for was J.Crew's best-selling Garçon classic shirt in cotton poplin in the simple yet timeless 'Blue Eoe' shade.
With both women sporting the same piece, it's clear to see that the classic blue shirt is a wardrobe must-have and even has the royal seal of approval. Whether dressed up under a blazer or kept casual with jeans, it's one of those pieces that does it all.
If you're in need of some blue shirt inspo, we've rounded up our favourite styles below...

Emma Corrin is seen for the first time as Elizabeth Bennet on the set of Netflix's Pride and Prejudice
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single woman in possession of a good fortune must surely be in want of a… dog? What Jane Austen would have made of this is anyone's guess. But these exclusive pictures show Emma Corrin for the first time as Elizabeth Bennet in Netflix's new production of Austen's Pride And Prejudice – and they suggest The Crown star is taking the character's sharp wit and independent spirit to heart. Emma, in period costume and curly wig, was seen cuddling beloved dog Spencer between takes on set – proving, just as in the novel, that important relationships can take many forms. The star was later spotted on a rooftop looking even less like a Georgian heroine, laughing with Freya Mavor, who plays Elizabeth Bennet's sister Jane, and eating a banana. Emma also appeared to grimace with trepidation while gingerly descending some scaffolding. The 29-year-old, who won plaudits playing a young Princess Diana in The Crown, is often seen walking Spencer near their home in Margate and in north London, where the actor shared a £5million home with Bohemian Rhapsody Oscar winner Rami Malek, 44. But like Lizzy Bennet, the star's love life has become tangled, splitting with Malek earlier this year and now said to be dating Zachary Hart, who appeared with Emma on stage in a production of Anton Chekhov's The Seagull. The hotly anticipated adaptation of Austen's 1813 novel is also set to star Slow Horses actor Jack Lowden as eligible Mr Darcy and Olivia Colman as Emma's determined mother Mrs Bennet. Other star names released by Netflix include Rufus Sewell as Mr Bennet and Killing Eve's Fiona Shaw as Lady Catherine de Bourgh. Sadly for some, Jack Lowden will not replicate Colin Firth's famous scene from the 1995 TV adaptation, which saw him emerge dripping wet from a lake – getting female viewers' hearts racing. This year marks 250 years since Austen's birth. The six-part Netflix series, written by Dolly Alderton, will be on screens early next year. However, Netflix recently sparked uproar after releasing a first look at the casting for the new Pride & Prejudice series - with some fans now threatening to boycott it altogether. On Friday, Netflix shared a picture on social media of the Bennet women on set. The films stars shared a quiet moment as they took in the view below Freya and Emma smiled at each other and giggled as they filmed the first scenes as the two eldest Bennet sisters Freya was seen holding a vintage monocular telescope amid filming The actress looked out of the telescope while Emma watched on 'We know you've been yearning for a sneak peek. Pride & Prejudice is officially in production,' the post read. 'Here's a first look featuring Emma Corrin, Freya Mavor, Olivia Colman, Hopey Parish, Rhea Norwood and Hollie Avery as the Bennet women.' But fans immediately rushed to the comments to express their distaste at the prospect as one wrote: 'Not to self: unsubscribe from Netflix immediately, today,' someone wrote. 'This casting is awful what the f**k,' another added. 'You cannot be serious,' someone else said. 'Oh help… praying this isn't a cock up like Persuasion. 'Actually scratch that… this is a reminder to me to unsubscribe,' another shared. Other members of the cast include Jamie Demetriou as Mr Collins, Daryl McCormack as Mr Bingley, and Louis Partridge as Mr Wickham, per Variety. While Freya had no issues with the steps, Emma appeared to be much more trepidatious More actors include Rhea Norwood as Lydia Bennet and Siena Kelly as Caroline Bingley, while Hopey Parish and Hollie Avery are making their acting debuts as Mary Bennet and Kitty Bennet respectively. The director and screenwriter of Heartstopper, Euros Lyn and Dolly Alderton, respectively, are taking on the series. 'Once in a generation, a group of people get to retell this wonderful story, and I feel very lucky that I get to be a part of it,' Alderton said in a statement, per the outlet. 'Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice is the blueprint for romantic comedy – it has been a joy to delve back into its pages to find both familiar and fresh ways of bringing this beloved book to life.' The limited series will finish filming in the UK at the end of 2025, per What's On Netflix.

BBC drama series praised as 'absolute perfection' by fans arrives on Netflix this weekend
One of the most raved about series of the 2020s is making its way onto Netflix this weekend and fans cannot wait. One of the most praised and gripping series that took the world by storm a few years ago is making its long awaited debut on Netflix this weekend. Normal People, the BBC drama that has been hailed by fans as a "masterpiece," will officially be available to stream from Sunday, August 3. Originally released in 2020 on BBC iPlayer, the 12-part series quickly became a cultural phenomenon, drawing both widespread critical acclaim and a passionate fanbase. Now, Netflix audiences will finally have the chance to revisit, or discover for the first time, the emotional and deeply affecting story that captivates the world. Adapted from Sally Rooney's best-selling novel, Normal People follows the intense and evolving relationship between two Irish teenagers, Connell Waldron and Marianne Sheridan, as they navigate the complexities of love, class and identity from their school days in Sligo to their university years in Dublin. The series spans more than a decade, following the main characters from their teenage years into adulthood. At the start Connell is the well-liked, quietly intelligent student while Marianne is the wealthy but socially isolated girl whose home Connell's mum cleans. When their paths cross again at university, the dynamic between them has shifted. Marianne has grown into herself, while Connell struggles to find his place, but despite these changes, the deep connection they share continues. As their relationship weaves in and out of romantic and platonic territory, the series earned widespread praise for its raw and honest portrayal of themes such as male mental health, sexuality and the emotional complexities of "friends with benefits" relationships. The show was an instant hit, and boosted the careers of Paul Mescal who plays Connell and Daisy Edgar-Jones who plays Marianne. Mescal went on to star in Gladiator II, and is playing Paul McCartney in the upcoming Beatles biopics, while Daisy has since starred in Where the Crawdads Sing and Twisters. The duo's chemistry and acting skills earned the show raving reviews with fans calling it a "masterpiece." Following the show's initial success on BBC iPlayer, Normal People received raving reviews and an impressive 91% Rotten Tomatoes score. Writing on Rotten Tomatoes, one fan of the series described Normal People as "deeply moving" expressing that the series "stayed with them long after watching." As another fan stated: "Real, raw and vulnerable. This highly emotional show had me hooked from the beginning." While other viewers added that the show is an "Irish masterpiece," and "absolute perfection." Another viewer praised the actors performance, writing: "Beautifully filmed with a great music score and pulled together by two extraordinary performances by Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones. You felt every moment with the characters and at the end you just want to go back and watch it all over again." Viewers will be able to watch Normal People on iPlayer from Sunday, August 3, on Netflix.
