Meghan Markle’s £748 blazer is almost identical to Princess Kate’s – buy similar from £49 | Royal | News

Meghan Markle has adopted a very unique taste when it comes to curating ensembles so it comes as no surprise that she has taken style notes from Princess Kate who is a renowned fashion icon from around the globe. The wife of Prince Harry has a keen eye for smart casual looks and often layers with blazers.

This particular style, however, has previously been seen on another royal– the Princess of Wales, 43, back in 2018. She wore a Smythe jacket which retailed at £625 and strikes an almost identical resemblance to the overall look Meghan, 43, went for.

Over the weekend at the Invictus Games, she was snapped rocking a heritage grey blazer while sitting in the front row to watch the wheelchair basketball event in Canada while supporting her husband. The Duchess of Sussex’s new number was the Duccio Jacket by Dôen which cost an eye-watering sum of £748.

Margaret and Katherine Kleveland who are sisters from Southern California launched the company back in 2016. This was the first time Meghan, 43, had worn their designs and it was a sweet nod to her new home town.

The two women grew up close to where Megann currently resides with Prince Harry and their children. Meanwhile, the design that the Duchess wore featured contrasting black lapels and four buttons on each sleeve.

“Inspired by the sharp suiting styles of the ‘70s, rendered in a 100% wool English tweed and fully lined in viscose twill,” says the style note.

Before mentioning that “the double-breasted DÔEN Heirloom Duccio Jacket is favourite of our co-founders, Margaret and Katherine”.

It also “features an exaggerated collar with a notched lapel, full-length sleeves, and a tailored silhouette—plus a welt pocket at the breast and flap pockets at the waist. Six faux-leather buttons extend down the front.”

This has since sold out, but the brand has a black version that you can buy it here for £648.

However, if you want to recreate her regal look on a budget then head over to Next as they have a similar alternative for a fraction of the price.

The Friends Like These Grey Edge-to-Edge Button Detail Blazer is available to buy here for just £49 and comes in a range of sizes starting from a UK 8 to 22.

This chic jacket offers an elegant silhouette thanks to the check details. You can wear this versatile piece from day to night, and it would be perfectly paired with jeans and a nice top.

However, if you prefer the tailored feel of Meghan’s blazer as well as the leather collars, then head over to Debenhams as they have a huge sale.

The Classic Check With Choc Pu Tailored Jacket by Karen Millen has been reduced by a whopping 70% after being priced at £279 – buy it here for just £72.

Thanks to the refined shape it will contour your body and enhance your curves by the waist belt cinching you in at the waiste.

Meghan is a huge fan of muted tones so would no doubt approve of this garment as over the weekend she stepped out in a chocolate brown pleated dress from A.L.C.
