Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, wear similar outfits

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and her sister-in-law Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, stepped out at separate events in London but a few things looked strikingly similar.

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and her sister-in-law Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, both stepped out in London on Wednesday, and something looked oddly familiar.

Catherine visited a London university decked out in a burgundy double-breasted blazer and skirt by the designer Paula Ka, an outhfir she’s owned for six years and worn on numerous occasions.

Kate was at UCL in London to learn more about neuroscience research into how environment and biology interact to shape the way in which children develop both socially and emotionally.

Her appearance comes just hours after Meghan, also in a burgundy ensemble, visited survivors of the Grenfell fire at the Hubb Kitchen in West London.

Indeed, Meghan’s charitable endeavours are already proving lucrative.

The proceeds from Together: Our Community Cookbook, which Meghan helped launch in September, have enabled the women behind the recipes to renovate their communal kitchen.

The pregnant Duchess was positively glowing on Wednesday when she visited the women at the kitchen.

Unlike Kate’s Paula Ka love, Meghan’s maroon coat and matching dress were by Club Monaco, which she paired with black stockings with black heels as she hugged one of the women from the kitchen before walking in.

The charitable cookbook features more than 50 recipes from women whose community was affected by the Grenfell Tower fire tragedy in London, which killed 72 people in June last year.

The idea was born after the women started gathering in a communal kitchen at the Al Manaar community centre to prepare food for friends, families and neighbours in the months following the blaze.

It became known as the Hubb Community Kitchen.

The cookbook was Meghan’s first solo project after becoming a royal and is supported by The Royal Foundation.

Just hours after the Duchess helped launch Together, it shot to the top of Amazon’s bestseller list and garnered support from celebrities including her good friend and tennis star Serena Williams.

More than 40,000 copies have since been sold in the UK with thousands more selling overseas.

Meghan, who’s known for being a “foodie”, used to write about food on her now-closed lifestyle blog, The Tig.

She has made regular visits to the kitchen since January and even wrote the cookbook’s foreword.

The proceeds from Together have allowed the women to completely redesign their kitchen which can now stay open seven days a week.

Previously, the kitchen was only open two days a week due to a lack of funding.

The women have also since attained food hygiene qualifications.

Meghan met with the women on Wednesday to help prepare fresh meals which were delivered to elderly people’s homes, homeless shelters and women’s refuges.

The Duchess also learnt about some of the planned outreach projects at the kitchen, which will be funded by the cookbook’s proceeds.

The women, supported and mentored by UnLtd, are planning to cook and deliver meals to women on maternity wards who’ve been affected by domestic violence.

There are also plans to produce healthy treats for children.
