There’s a number of style icons among the women of the Royal Family – and it appears that, not only are they inspiring the public with their ensembles, but also each other. During the US State Visit this week, Queen Camilla stepped out in a favourite dress of hers for a visit to New York – and we couldn’t help but notice the resemblance to one of Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh’s, own.

While in New York, the Queen attended the star-studded ‘Greater Together Reception’ at Christie’s auction house. For the event, she chose a long-sleeve midi dress by Fiona Clare, with a green animal-print pattern and light ruffled detailing along the neckline. Back in 2023, the Duchess of Edinburgh wore a very similar green leopard print midi dress for an important visit to Colombia.

Sophie’s similar look can be seen on the fifth slide in the post below:

A long-sleeve midi is a timeless staple that suits just about any occasion, while the khaki green shade instead of standard leopard tones adds a twist on a classic print. And, if you’re a fan of the Duchess and the Queen’s stylish pick, we have good news for you.

Earlier this week, the King and Queen arrived in the US for a historic State Visit alongside the nation’s President and First Lady. While many of the events have required smart-casual attire, there was one opportunity to slip into something more formal, during the US State Dinner at the White House. In lieu of a tiara, Queen Camilla chose a dazzling heirloom jewellery set for the occasion. The star and shell-shaped diamond necklace was studded with enormous amethysts and matched a corresponding pair of earrings.

The set once belonged to Queen Victoria’s mother, before being passed down the generations over many decades. The pieces are part of one of the oldest collections in the Royal Family’s possession and are rarely worn in public.
