Despite being in the same dress, there were differences between the Duchess’ ensembles, as Kate went for a more simple look and wore her gown with a pair of tan wedges, a silver watch, and matching floral stud earrings.
Katharine, 86, meanwhile, opted for a more formal spin (itwasHarry and Meghan’s wedding, after all) and accessorized with a long pearl necklace and a lavender fascinator. The Duchess of Kent also added a pair of white sneakers to her look.

It’s not just Kate and Katharine who have proven that fashion taste runs in the royal family.
Princess Eugeniealso wore a similar-looking Erdem mini-dress with a navy headband back in April while accompanyingQueen ElizabethtoRoyal Maundy Serviceat St George’s Chapel.
Eugenie, 29, previously wore the dress twice last year: to the Royal Ascot in June 2018 and to a U.N. meeting in July 2018.

Earlier on Monday at the Chelsea Flower Show, the Duchess of Cambridge greeted children and toasted marshmallows at the woodland-themed garden she helped design.
The royal mom “looked absolutely gorgeous in our Mabel Shirt and we’re delighted she has chosen to wear us to the Chelsea Flower Show, the epitome of the British summer,” Chloe Lonsdale, founder and creative director of M.i.h told PEOPLE. “She has been a longstanding supporter of the brand and we’re admirers of her style.”
Kate, who bought the $325 shirt online, has been a fan of the brand’s designer jeans for many years.

While fans were rushing online to make their purchases (both pieces almost sold out within the hour) Kate was already back home, getting ready forher evening appearancewithPrince William, where the couple greeted the queen and showed her around Kate’s garden project. (Kate also executeda perfect curtsyonce again.)
It was during that evening appearance that Kate rocked the Erdem floral gown and styled her hair in a braid that twinned withPrincess Charlotte,who sportedan identical look to visit the garden on Sunday.
Just the day before, the royal mom broughtPrince George, Charlotte andPrince Louisfor a sneak preview of the project.
