It’s pretty common knowledge that Duchess Meghan is not a fan of President Trump.
The American-born former royal not only labelled him a “divisive misogynist” back in 2016 but also did not meet with the US president and his family when they visited the UK on a state visit – though that’s more likely due to the fact she was on maternity leave.
However, the Duchess of Sussex does have an unlikely link to another member of the US First Family- eldest daughter Ivanka Trump.
Before Harry came into the picture, Meghan even interviewed the socialite and businesswoman for her now defunct lifestyle blog, The Tig.
In the post, she described Ivanka as “staggeringly beautiful, no question, but so incredibly savvy and intelligent” before going on to describe how she made a name for herself, despite growing up with such privilege.
“Don’t get me started on her jewellery collection: the late night ‘window shopping’ I have done on my computer, snuggled up in my bed with a glass of wine, staring longingly at the beautiful designs,” she penned in 2014.
The two even planned to catch up over dinner and drinks in New York with Meghan finishing her post by saying, “This much I know – when we have drinks, I will make sure I order whatever she does – because this woman seems to have the formula for success (and happiness) down pat.”
Meghan admitted she went “late night window shopping” on her computer in bed with a glass of wine over Ivanka’s jewellery collection.

Though one grew up in a flashy New York penthouse and the other across the country in sunny LA, both women favour chic and timeless fashion over the crazy looks we see on other celebrities.

On the day she voted for her father to become the President, Ivanka Trump donned a chic white coat. Just a year later, Meghan Markle stepped out a similar design for her and Prince Harry’s engagement photo call.

Cape dress
Duchess Meghan’s cape dress that she wore to the Queen’s birthday concert back in 2018 was reminiscent of a similar look Ivanka wore back in 2014.
Misha Nonoo skirt

Hat
When Ivanka visited London on a state visit with the President and First Lady, she donned a white hat with a knot design. And just a few months later, Meghan wore a similar headpiece to the 91st Field of Remembrance in the British capital.
Black dress
There are around eight years difference between the photos, but both know the value of a timeless LBD.
Blue dress
Maybe we need to add a blue shirt dress to our wardrobes.
Checkered coats
Checkered coats will never go out of style.
White blazer
Who would’ve thought these two have so much in common?
