As usual, Meghan Markle's impeccable style caught the world's attention again this week as she attended the launch of a charity cookbook she'd been working on with a group of women affected by the Grenfell Fire.
Meghan, of course, wore a Misha Nonoo skirt to the event, which marked her first solo endeavour as a member of the royal family. And it's now been pointed out that Princess Beatrice wore the exact same skirt, showing that the cousins-by-marriage have a lot in common when it comes to style.
Instagram fan account when_harry_met_meghan credited iamjozaphen with discovering the matching style, sharing photos of the Duchess and the Princess wearing the Misha Nonoo skirt on consecutive days this week:
The Saturday skirt retails for $250 (£191) and is made to order. Since two members of the royal family donned the chic item this week, it's likely the skirt will see a huge increase in demand.

Meghan completed her look with a blue Smythe coat, and $395 black pumps by Sarah Flint. Meanwhile, Princess Beatrice wore a tan coat and flat sandals with her Misha Nonoo skirt.
And Princess Beatrice isn't the only member of the royal family that Meghan shares a taste in fashion. The Duchess of Sussex has often worn similar outfits to sister-in-law Kate Middleton, with them both showing a penchant for well-tailored coats, tartan fabrics, and fitted gowns.
Meghan and Kate once wore the exact same Diane von Furstenberg dress. Kate wore a long version of the 'Zarita' lace gown in black in 2017, while Meghan opted for the mini dress version in navy, which she wore in 2012. Is it possible that Kate was channeling Meghan's pre-royal style with her matching look?
