Princess Beatrice's Fashion Inspiration: Kate Middleton's Style Influence Grows

Kate Middleton at the Shaping Us National Symposium

Princess Beatrice, granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth, recently attended a Valentine's lunch in London, showcasing her winter fashion sense. The princess opted for a cozy ensemble, donning a gray sweater vest layered over a white blouse, paired with a wool skirt and black tights. This outfit choice seemed reminiscent of a similar look sported by another royal fashion icon, Kate Middleton.

Kate Middleton, known for her impeccable style, had previously worn a similar gray sleeveless sweater over a blouse during a visit to the Vsi Razom Community Hub. While Princess Beatrice completed her look with a skirt and black tights, Kate opted for trousers and heels on that occasion.

This is not the first time that these two royal women have been seen in similar outfits. At Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa of Jordan's royal wedding banquet in June, Kate wore a stunning pink gown by Jenny Packham. Princess Beatrice echoed this color choice when she attended the opening of Monique Lhuillier's London flagship store in Mayfair, donning a shimmering pink dress.

It seems that these fashion coincidences are not limited to formal events either. At the wedding of Ellie Goulding, a close friend of Princess Beatrice, she wore a green ruffled dress by The Vampire's Wife. Kate, later on, selected a different piece from the same brand for a tour in Ireland, which showcased a similar color and design elements.

While Princess Beatrice has certainly faced some fashion criticism in the past, she and her sister, Princess Eugenie, have grown more confident in their style choices. Their former stylist, Charlie Anderson, has praised their recent fashion ventures, stating that they have become more daring and are discovering their personal fashion identities.

One of Princess Beatrice's most memorable fashion moments was her wedding to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in 2020. She wore a beautiful Norman Hartnell gown borrowed from Queen Elizabeth, who had previously worn it on several occasions in the 1960s. The vintage gown added a touch of regal elegance to the princess's special day.

While Princess Beatrice enjoyed a lovely lunch with friends in London, Kate Middleton was recovering from abdominal surgery. The royal underwent the operation on January 16 and was recently released from the hospital to continue her recovery at home in Windsor. Kensington Palace has stated that she is making good progress and expressed gratitude to her medical team.

Although the specific details of Kate's condition have not been disclosed, it is known to be noncancerous. Fans of the royal family anxiously await her full recovery and eagerly look forward to her future fashion choices, as she has been a trendsetter and style inspiration for many.
