Kate Middleton steps out in a classic blue shirt similar to Meghan Markle's recent look, and we've found where you can shop this wardrobe must-have with similar styles from £35
Kate Middleton seems to have taken some styling tips from Meghan Markle during her recent visit to Mull, Scotland - an outing that also happened to mark her and Prince William 's 14th wedding anniversary.
The Princess of Wales opted for a chic countryside look, consisting of a blue button-up shirt, tweed blazer (her exact one is the Double Breasted Blazer from Holland Cooper), brown skinny trousers and chunky brown boots.
And if the outfit felt familiar, it might be because Meghan Markle was recently spotted in a similar style blue shirt during her appearance on Prince Harry's Netflix documentary, Heart of Invictus.
We don't have the exact details on button-up Kate is wearing (although we think it could be Max Mara's offering), but the exact shirt Meghan opted for was J.Crew's best-selling Garçon classic shirt in cotton poplin in the simple yet timeless 'Blue Eoe' shade.
With both women sporting the same piece, it's clear to see that the classic blue shirt is a wardrobe must-have and even has the royal seal of approval. Whether dressed up under a blazer or kept casual with jeans, it's one of those pieces that does it all.
If you're in need of some blue shirt inspo, we've rounded up our favourite styles below...

The flattering, relaxed cut gives it that borrowed-from-him vibe, which is why its aptly named 'The Boyfriend' shirt.
