Queen Mary copies Princess Kate's stylish look and it's from the high street

Queen Mary of Denmark just proved that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, as she stepped out in an ensemble strikingly similar to one recently worn by the Princess of Wales. Both royal women showcased their impeccable eye for heritage-inspired dressing - that has quickly become one of the biggest trends this season.

Queen Mary, 53, embraced earthy tones and timeless tailoring that blended tradition with modern polish. During her State Visit to Latvia on October 28, the Queen exuded refined elegance in a Max Mara brown tweed skirt, paired with a rich burgundy knit and a coordinating leather belt.

Her outfit mirrored Princess Kate's look from September, when the future queen of England wore a near-identical tweed skirt and structured jacket by Me+Em for a royal engagement in Frogmore Gardens.

The resemblance was hard to miss - from the warm autumnal palette to the sophisticated mix of textures. Both women nailed countryside chic with an elevated royal twist.

It's no surprise that Kate's influence is being felt across Europe. This season, the Princess has embraced heritage fashion with renewed enthusiasm, re-wearing classic pieces from her wardrobe while championing British craftsmanship and timeless design.

From tweed skirts and tailored jackets to knee-high boots, her recent looks have redefined royal style.

Her style focus has transitioned into becoming less trend-led and more enduring.

Kate delivered a masterclass in how to modernise tradition, and Queen Mary's recent look proves that this elegant aesthetic translates seamlessly across royal wardrobes.

By embracing craftsmanship and timeless design, Kate is setting a new royal standard - one that favours longevity, sustainability, and quiet sophistication over fleeting fashion moments.

To recreate this regal yet wearable look, start with a wool or tweed midi skirt in brown or taupe tones, paired with a fine knit in burgundy or chestnut for a rich autumnal contrast.

Add a wide leather belt to accentuate the waist and finish with knee-high boots in black or brown for a touch of practicality and polish.

Complete the outfit with simple gold jewellery and a structured coat, and you'll have a look fit for a queen - or a princess.
