As ‘commoners’ who married an heir to throne, parallels between the Princess of Wales and Crown Princess Mary of Denmark have been inevitable. 

Both transitioned into their roles as royals and mothers with grace and ease and have garnered a multitude of fans in their respective nations.

The brunette beauties have also mirrored each other’s style and were dubbed the unofficial ‘royal sisters’ by the late Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld.  

Even on Monday in the heat of the South Pacific, the Crown Princess chose an outfit reminiscent of one previously worn by the Kate, in this case a long belted dress accentuating the waist with broad floral design in rich shades of blue.

Princesses Kate and Mary were style ‘sisters’ once again on Monday when Mary (right) wore a rich floral design as she visited the South Pacific island of Vanuata. Kate was seen in a dress with the same style of broad motif in a simllarly vibrant blue on a visit to Sweden in January 2018

Mary was pictured as she visited Vanuata which, like other Pacific islands, is affected by climate change, with rising sea levels and an increase in severe weather. 

Kate had worn the Erdem dress pictured on a visit to Sweden in January 2018. 

They were ‘sisters’ once again earlier this year, when Kate’s visited Liverpool with Prince William in January. For the couple’s first official engagement after the release of Harry’s explosive memoir, Spare, she wore an elegant longline tartan coat from Holland Cooper.

The Princess of Wales, 41, and Crown Princess Mary of Denmark, 51, have a shared sense of style – clearly illustrated by these tartan coats
