This was the fate that awaited one unlucky guest at the wedding of English aristocrats Lucy Meade and Charlie Budgett at the weekend.
The unknown lady and Kate donned the same blue M Missoni coat to attend the nuptials in Marshfield, Gloucestershire.
The blue woollen number is a favourite of Kate’s. She has worn it a number of times since she purchased it from fashion outlet store in 2011, including to a joint engagement with the Queen and Camilla at department store Fortnum and Mason in 2012 and in June 2012.
