What are the similarities between Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales and Princess Mary of Denmark?

Those of you who are unfamiliar with European Royals, Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark, is the wife of Frederik, the Crown Prince of Denmark and the couple have four children together. Over the years, she has often been compared to Kate Middleton as the pair not only look physically similar, but seem to dress in a similar fashion too.

According to Vogue, “the royals share a wry understanding of the relationship between fashion, image and diplomacy. Their reputation as trendsetters emerges from this nexus, which they occupy effortlessly. Perhaps it’s no wonder, then, that Kate and Mary often end up mirroring each other with their ensembles.”

There have been many times over the years where Kate Middleton and Mary, Crown, Princess of Denmark have worn incredibly similar outfits. For Wimbledon 2021, Kate Middleton wore a belted pink dress by Beulah London. In the same year, Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark also wore a similarly coloured dress with almost identical style sleeves.

Like Kate Middleton, Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark also appears to have a penchant for polka dots. To celebrate her 51st birthday, the Danish Royal Family shared a photograph of the Princess on Instagram over the weekend, dressed in a recycled Carolina Herrera polka dot silk shirt dress.

Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark also wore polka dots on a short visit to Norway in 2022, whilst Kate Middleton has worn polka dots on several occasions such as at Royal Ascot last year. She has also worn polka dots at Wimbledon on more than one occasion.

Kate Middleton first met Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark when she and Prince William visited Denmark in 2016. Mary and her husband, Crown Prince Frederik also joined Kate and William at Royal Ascot in 2016.

Last February, Kate Middleton reunited with Denmark’s Princess Mary when she visited Copenhagen. The Princess of Wales received an official welcome from Queen Margrethe, alongside her daughter-in-law, Mary at Christian 1X’s Palace in Copenhagen.

The duo are also not only connected through their style but they share common interests. According to Harper’s Bazaar, Kate visited Denmark “to build on her childcare knowledge and better understand the country’s world-leading approach to the early-years development of children.”

This has clearly fed into Kate setting up her newly established Royal Foundation’s Centre for Childhood and of course her well publicised initiative, Shaping Us.
