Princess Kate and Queen Letizia step out in almost identical dress

To attend the ABC International Journalism Awards in Madrid, Queen Letizia of Spain opted for a blue sating ensemble from Maksu Online.

The monarch donned the Grace Sleeveless Silk Top, which used to retail for £107 but is now on sale for £80, and the Grace Silk Midi Skirt, costing £159 but also discounted to £119.

The Spanish monarch paired her blue outfit with the Alice Metallic Gold Clutch from Magrit and Jimmy Choo sandals.

The Rosie 120 Gold Metallic Nappa Leather from Jimmy Choo are a repeat for the Queen but they are still available to purchase on the designer’s website for £750.

Letizia’s look was almost identical to Princess Kate’s blue dress she wore to meet the Aga Khan, as many royal fans pointed out.

Ahead of their official visit to Pakistan in 2019, the then Duke and Duchess of Cambridge met the Aga Khan at the Aga Khan Centre in King’s Cross, London.

For the engagement, Kate donned a beautiful long flowy dress by ARoss Girl, which used to retail for £577.

The blue cocktail dress’s neckline and skirt were similar to Queen Letizia’s ensemble, and it also had a belt that hugged her slim waistline. Kate’s dress, however, had voluminous sleeves and she combined it with dark green pumps and a matching clutch.

On Instagram, royal fan @‌jeeepereira commented: “Queen Letizia looks gorgeous as usual!”

Social media user @‌mydocuments said: “Gorgeous colour and fit. I especially like that it’s separates because both the skirt and blouse look very versatile.”

Another one, @‌vspink.yuko, added: “This is one of her best looks. She styled it very well. The dress is so much different from the model photo.”

Many royalists opined that Queen Letizia looked “better than the model”. @‌enne.eve commented: “Quite chic, and frankly looks better on her than the model.”

Instagram user @‌basak_ertas said: “Not a typical Queen Letizia look, still she elevates the dress much better than the model. I’d say shoes do the trick. King looks super elegant!”

Another royal fan, @‌philosophiser, suggested: “She actually looks better in it than the model!”
