Rivalry or Resemblance?

Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton's Shoe Showdown

Ever since Meghan Markle announced her engagement to Prince Harry, the public has been quick to draw comparisons between her and her future sister-in-law, Kate Middleton.

From their fashion choices to their personalities, every aspect has been scrutinized side by side.

While they may differ in many ways, a surprising similarity was recently revealed – their taste in shoes.

During the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey, both Meghan and Kate sported strikingly similar navy heels that caught the attention of many onlookers.

Despite initial assumptions of a deliberate matching choice, it turned out that their shoe selections were distinct.

Meghan opted for elegant Manolo Blahnik heels priced at £450, while Kate stuck to her beloved Rupert Sanderson Mallory pumps, a familiar sight from previous appearances.

In addition to their coordinated footwear, Meghan Markle made a chic statement with an £895 ivory Amanda Wakeley coat paired with a matching hat crafted by renowned milliner Stephen Jones.

Completing her ensemble was a sophisticated £550 Mulberry shoulder strap bag that complemented her navy dress.

On the other hand, Kate chose to reprise her Bula London coat and dress, a look reminiscent of her attire at the Afghanistan Service of Commemoration in 2015 during her pregnancy with Princess Charlotte.

The high-profile event marked Meghan's inaugural official engagement, drawing esteemed guests including the Queen, Prince Charles, and Camilla.

The annual service, dedicated to celebrating the 53 nations of the Commonwealth, featured a special live performance by pop sensation Liam Payne.
