The different but equally stunning engagement dresses of Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle

One very fashionable (almost) family...
Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle

We canโ€™t wait to watch Meghan Markle and Kate Middletonโ€˜s friendship blossom.

They have so much in common, like marrying into the royal family and being a regular(ish) person before that.

However, our favourite thing about the duo is their killer sense of style, which they both put on display during their engagement photo shoots!

We couldnโ€™t help but compare their engagement dresses after Meghan shared the happy news that Prince Harry proposed.

Meghan stepped out on the day of her announcement wearing a stunning white coat over a dark green dress, cinched at the waist with a tie. The coat was a nod to her temporary home in Toronto, where she lived while shooting Suits, because it was made by Toronto-based brand Line the Label.

She topped off the look with some nude heels, and, of course, her beautiful new engagement ring with two diamonds from Princess Dianaโ€™s personal collection!

The shoot took place outside of Kensington Palace, where Harry grew up and where theyโ€™ll live together once married, but since it was chilly, we never got a good look at the dress underneath.

Kate and Prince William, on the other hand, chose to do their announcement photos indoors in November 2011, inside St. Jamesโ€™s Palace.

Since they opted for an indoor shoot, Kate didnโ€™t need a coat, so she let her dress shine. She wore a sapphire blue wrap dress that matched her dazzling ring perfectly.

Though Kate and Meghanโ€™s engagement announcement dresses were quite different, we couldnโ€™t help but notice the similarities Meghanโ€™s coat had to Kateโ€™s engagement portrait look.

In the now-famous photos snapped by Mario Testino, Kate is seen wearing a creamy white dress that has a wrapped appearance and a knee-length, just like Meghanโ€™s coat!

We canโ€™t wait to see what Meghan wears for her royal portrait!
