IN A sweet new picture with father-in-law Prince Charles and youngest son Prince Louis, Kate Middleton looks gorgeous in polka dot. The Duchess of Cambridge opted for a chic blue and white design for the snap - but she isn't the first person to wear it. Kate's dress appears to be Alessandra Rich's pleated maxi, which was retailing at £1,225 before it sold out earlier this year. The designer piece features a full skirt, long sleeves and matching white hems and collar. Recognise it? That's because Meghan Markle's Suits co-star Abigail Spencer wore it to the Royal Wedding back in May. Abigail - who played Dana 'Scottie' Scott in the hit drama - paired the piece with a black belt and a navy floral fascinator. Interestingly, Kate and Abigail aren't the only famous ladies to have donned the dress. Ivanka Trump chose the demure maxi to speak at an event in Granite City, Illinois back in July. Like Kate, the 37-year-old left her hair down, adding a glamorous smoky eye and pink lips. … [Read more...] about Kate Middleton sports the same dress Meghan Markle’s Suits co-star wore to the Royal Wedding… and Ivanka Trump is also a fan

The mother-of-the-bride Sarah 'Fergie' Ferguson also turned heads in a emerald-coloured ensemble which she paired with a green and gold hat. Her hat was later mocked on Twitter, with many comparing it to a Quality Street sweet and the Golden Snitch from Harry Potter. But it turns out there was a poignant meaning behind her outfit. Royal fans may already know that the vintage Manolo Blahnik clutch bag she carried on the big day previously belonged to her mother, Susan Barrantes. Susan died in a car accident in 1998, but had notably carried the bag at Sarah and Prince Andrew's wedding in 1986. And now in an interview with MailOnline, Fergie has explained that it was something she found in the bag that … [Read more...] about Sweet reason why Sarah Ferguson wore green to Princess Eugenie’s royal wedding
