They are both renowned for their elegant wardrobes, so it is perhaps of little surprise the Duchess of Sussex and the Duchess of Cambridge have similar ideas when it comes to pulling together a stylish winter look.
Sister-in-laws Meghan, 37, and Kate, 36, stepped out in chic ensembles in almost the exact same shade of burgundy as they carried out separate engagements in London today.
Thrifty Kate recycled a berry-coloured double breasted blazer and skirt by French label Paule Ka as she visited University College London.
Hours earlier mother-to-be Meghan, who is expecting her first child with Prince Harry next spring, donned a £282 Club Monaco dress in a strikingly similar shade as she visited the Hubb Community Kitchen to meet survivors of the Grenfell Tower tragedy.
Speaking to FEMAIL, celebrity stylist Rochelle White and Scott Henshall, former creative director of Mulberry, weighed in on how each royal wore the colour - and what their outfits say about their individual styles.

Burgundy beauty: The Duchess of Cambridge was spotted in a double breasted blazer and skirt by French label Paule Ka in a warm shade of burgundy as she visited University College London on Wednesday
Two of a kind! Hours earlier mother-to-be Meghan, who is expecting her first child with Prince Harry next spring, donned a £282 berry-coloured dress from favourite Candian brand Club Monaco as she visited the Hubb Community Kitchen to meet survivors of the Grenfell Tower tragedy
Double take: Celebrity stylist Rochelle White said while Kate and Meghan's outfits are in similar colours, each has chosen items that suit their individual style
Rochelle noted that Kate's combination of a fitted black turtleneck with a burgundy two-piece has an air of 'sophistication', while Meghan's ensemble suggests a more 'relaxed and fun' take on the colour.
She said: 'Kate's outfit has a look of sophistication to it. With the sheer black tights and finished off with a high neck jumper or dress, it gives off a classy look.
'This is a classic Kate look I think. Sleek, stylish and represents her and her style. She added a simple black bag that finished off the look.
'Meanwhile with Meghan’s outfit I feel that this was a lot more relaxed and fun. With the purple on purple or burgundy colour it really compliments her skin tone.
'I think that Meghan has chosen an outfit that trendy, fun and a good representation of her and her growing style into the royals.'
Twice as nice! The Duchess Of Cambridge, 36, rocked winter chic in a burgundy double breasted blazer and skirt by Paule Ka for a visit to University College London
Do it like a Duchess in a burgundy skirt this season
We all know how much the Duchess of Cambridge loves her nude court heels and Breton striped tops, but she has another favourite when it comes to Royal engagements.
Kate has worn this double breasted blazer and skirt by Paule Ka on many occasions, the first time being way back in October 2012. Which just goes to show that a skirt suit will stand the test of time in your wardrobe!
We love the rich red colour and flattering flared shape of the skirt. Clearly this winter-ready shade is a favourite with the Royals right now, as Meghan wore a dress and coat by Club Monaco in the same burgundy hue today!
Unfortunately it's no longer available to buy, but click (right) to browse the current collection. Fans of Paule Ka include Chrissy Teigen and Kendall Jenner so you'll be in good company.

Fashion verdict: Two style experts weigh in
Expert take: Scott Henshall, former Creative Director of Mulberry, pictured, gave his verdict on Kate and Meghan's burgundy looks
Celebrity stylist Rochelle White said: 'Kate's outfit has a look of sophistication to it. With the sheer black tights and finished off with a high neck jumper or dress, it gives off a classy look.
'This is a classic Kate look I think. Sleek, stylish and represents her and her style. She added a simple black bag that finished off the look.

'I think that Meghan has chosen an outfit that trendy, fun and a good representation of her and her growing style into the royals.'
She added burgundy is a great colour to introduce to a winter wardrobe without it becoming 'overpowering'.
Scott Henshall, former Creative Director of Mulberry, said: 'Kate and Meghan are incredible style icons, who’ve changed the face of British royal fashion. They both have their own fashion identities, which have become synonymous with their public persona.
'Meghan, hailing from the States and a completely different culture, is naturally more willing to experiment with new styles. Kate is much more sophisticated and tends to go for classic looks.
'Burgundy is definitely the mood this season, as there’s still a pop of colour - which is very much need with the drab weather that comes with Autumn/Winter.
'They both wore the colour in completely different ways, with Kate opting for a classic and sophisticated look, by opting for a tailored buttoned up jacket. Meghan, on the other hand, chose to be effortlessly chic, letting the coat hang loose and unbuttoned. Both looks are befitting for a modern day princess.'

Kate today visited Professor Eamon McCrory, Co-Director of the Developmental Risk and Resilience Unit in the Psychology & Language Sciences Division at UCL.

The Unit aims to better understand the factors that contribute to healthy development, as well as those that are linked to the emergence of behavioural and emotional problems in children.
One of The Duchess’ key areas of interest is championing the importance of providing solid social and emotional foundations for children to support their development and emotional resilience as infants, setting them on the best possible pathway for a happy and healthy adulthood.
During her visit, The Duchess will be shown the Unit’s MRI Scanning Facility to learn about UCL’s groundbreaking research on how early experience shapes brain function.

She will be shown how the scanner is used to study the brain, and will see the resulting images that allow scientists to see differences in brain structure and function.
The Duchess will hear from members of Professor McCrory’s neuroscience research team about how they work closely with children and families to shed new light on resilience following early adversity.
Kate will then join a roundtable meeting with leading researchers and students to learn about the wider ambition for developmental neuroscience.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
