Meghan Markle sought inspiration from the Princess of Wales last night as she donned an off-the-shoulder Louis Vuitton dress – which was nearly identical to a dress worn by her sister-in-law days earlier.

The Duchess of Sussex, 41, who is currently living in a $14million California mansion after retiring from royal duties, joined her husband The Duke, 38, in New York yesterday to receive an “anti-racism” award at the Ripple of Hope Gala.

The Queen went all out with her ensemble for the evening, opting for a tailored, form-fitting white Louis Vuitton gown that left her shoulders completely bared and also featured a classy, ​​thigh-high slit that showcased her slender legs as she strutted through the Manhattan rain.

The mum-of-two’s look was strikingly similar to that of Kate Middleton days ago – as she stepped out in Solace London’s Sabrina dress, which she rented for £74 from fashion site Hurr.

Meghan paired her white off-the-shoulder look with a boxy black clutch bag and long gold earrings, while her brunette tresses were slicked back into a low bun, allowing her glamorous makeup look to shine through.

Her dress bore an uncanny resemblance to the bold green dress the Princess of Wales wore on Friday when she and Prince William hosted the eco-friendly Earthshot Gala in Boston, an event dramatically linked to the release of Harry and Meghan’s first bombshell was overshadowed Netflix trailer.

Much like Kate’s dress – which was rented in line with the Earthshot Prize’s environmental ethos – Meghan’s dress featured an off-the-shoulder neckline, long sleeves and a slit, although the Princess of Wales’ dress was at the back of hers, while the Duchess of Sussex ran up the front of her design.

Unlike Kate’s dress, a Solace London design which was rented by online fashion platform HURR at a cost of £74 a night, Meghan’s dress was priced at a much higher price.

The dresses, worn days apart by the two women, looked even more alike in a behind-the-scenes black-and-white picture of Kate at the Earthshot Awards (left).

In fact, according to Vogue, the Duchess’ white dress was a one-of-a-kind piece designed for her by Louis Vuitton’s creative director Nicolas Ghesquière.

Kate’s dress featured a “body-conscious fit” and a concealed tie belt to accentuate the waist, as well as the brand’s signature high-kick split.

The similarities between the two dresses are made even clearer by looking at the black and white snaps shared by the Prince and Princess of Wales last night.

In fact, despite their rocky relationship, the women have donned the same clothes many times; It seems that Meghan is a huge fan of Kate’s style as she has often been spotted sporting looks similar to Kate’s over the years.

Similar to Meghan’s dress, the floor-length dress featured an off-the-shoulder silhouette, long sleeves, a thick belt and a high slit at the hem

Back in October 2018, the former Suits star was spotted out in Fraser Island in a burgundy printed dress by & Other Stories. Meanwhile, Kate opted for a very similar long-sleeved polka-dot dress in the same color from UK retailer Whistles when she attended a reception for Radio One’s Teen Heroes of 2018 at Kensington Palace a few days earlier.

Meghan partnered with Kate again when she attended an Instagram dinner in Toronto in May 2016 in a blue wrap dress that looked exactly like a dress Kate wore during her engagement photo call to Prince William in November 2010.

The Duchess of Sussex seemed to channel Kate’s style again when she wore a Burberry coat while visiting Scotland with her husband in February 2018, as Kate was spotted years earlier rocking an Alexander McQueen coat dress with a very similar pattern – at the St. Andrew’s Day celebration in 2012.

And earlier this year, Meghan appeared to take inspiration from Kate while attending Nelson Mandela’s International Day at the United Nations headquarters.

Harry, 38, held an umbrella over himself and Meghan, who led her husband into the event by the hand

Meghan opted for a striking black and white strapless jumpsuit by Gabriela Hearst for the occasion, which she paired with black stiletto heels and a red bag.

The mum-of-two’s look was nearly identical to that worn by the Duchess of Cambridge, 40, in May – when she stepped out in a £2,700 ($32,000) black Roland Mouret dress with an identical strap detail and white top Gun: Maverick premiere.

Prince Harry was seen putting a protective arm around Meghan Markle as they sat down for dinner at the gala on Tuesday night.

Meghan could be seen grabbing Harry’s hand as he put his arm around her shoulder just before the couple took the stage to accept an “anti-racism” award.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle beamed from ear to ear as they arrived at a glitzy New York gala on Tuesday night – where they will accept an award for the “heroic” stance against “structural racism” in the monarchy

Sitting on stage alongside Meghan, Harry discussed the importance of storytelling, saying: “Ultimately, we now live in this world where sharing experiences and stories has a tremendous impact,” adding that it’s important “to.” take leadership if you are in a position of influence, or otherwise.’

The couple was very animated when speaking to the crowd, sometimes bursting out in laughter together and exchanging affectionate touches with others.

The couple attended the gala — an event for which tickets have sold for up to $1 million each — to accept the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Foundation’s human rights award, an award that Barack Obama and Hillary previously honored Clinton count recipients. On stage, they were interviewed by Kerry Kennedy, president of the foundation and daughter of its namesake.

It comes as a royal expert said Harry and Meghan’s Netflix documentary “could make the Princess of Wales very uncomfortable” by focusing on the “early days” of her relationship with William and an infamous argument she had Meghan had picked up again.

A new trailer released this week gave the strongest signal yet that the Sussexes will be looking to reopen old wounds to justify the Megxit, with Harry claiming they’ve suffered from leaks and planted stories that the “hierarchy ‘ of the royal family.

The duke, 38, also took aim at royal aides and grinned as he commented: “It’s a dirty game,” while an ally of the California-based couple provocatively claimed there’s been a “war” against Meghan since she moved to the royal family had entered .

Today, Jack Royston, Newsweek’s chief royal correspondent, said the content of the trailer suggested the documentary would not only deal with recent events, but would also delve into the more distant past – including the rocky early days of William and Kate’s romance.

He told Good Morning Britain: “We had Kate in both caravans. The latest has a slogan underneath it that’s a headline from a magazine cover…

“This particular magazine contained a claim that the Queen was ashamed of her and photos of her drunk in public were on the front page.

“So if they go into the early days of Kate and William’s relationship, it could be very awkward.”

Mr Royston also predicted that Netflix would revisit a story from 2018 that claimed Meghan made Kate cry when she unfavorably compared Princess Charlotte to her best friend’s daughter during a bridesmaid fitting.

He added, “In the Oprah interview that was described as a big turning point where everything changed, Harry said in this latest Netflix trailer, ‘That was the turning point’ – you don’t say what he’s talking about, you do kind of already know.’

As pressure mounts around the Kishishe massacre that left 272 dead, the government said Tuesday the M23 for the first time raised the possibility of withdrawing from its positions in eastern DRC.

The announcement could well mark the beginning of a new phase in the conflict between the M23 and the Congolese army. This Tuesday the M23 said it was “ready to initiate a retreat and withdraw”, although it was not represented on the Mini summit in Luanda two weeks ago.

The rebel movement continues to claim that it respects the ceasefire, even though fighting in far western Rutshuru territory has never really stopped. He also reiterates his call for direct dialogue with the Congolese government to “find a lasting solution to the root causes of the conflict in eastern DRC” and calls for a meeting with the East Africa Regional Force.

This announcement comes in a context of intense pressure. For the last few days, the Congolese authorities have been pointing the finger at the M23 after the Kishishe massacre. The M23 denies these allegations. It also comes after the phone conversation between US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and Rwandan President Paul Kagame.

As a reminder, during the Luanda mini-summit, participants called for a ceasefire and then a gradual withdrawal of the M23 from their positions. The rebel movement responded that it was not affected by the press release.
