Meghan Markle’s Style vs. Kate Middleton’s: The Princesses Choose Very Different Dresses for Buckingham Palace Event


The royal Fab Four, as they’ve been dubbed, reunited for a celebration honoring Prince Charles at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday. Along with their husbands, Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle made a glamorous appearance at the gathering hosted by the queen. Guests included Prime Minister Theresa May, “Game of Thrones” star Owen Teale and Welsh rock band Stereophonic.

For the occasion, Middleton opted for a design by one of her go-to favorites labels, Alexander McQueen. The 37-year-old mother of three showed off a mint calf-length dress featuring button detailing down the front, billowy sleeves and a frilly high neck. For shoes, she chose a pair of neutral-toned pumps with a classic pointed-toe silhouette. The Duchess of Cambridge also carried a matching mint satin clutch.
