Meghan Markle may not be an official member of the royal family just yet, but it seems she's already been on the same style wavelength as Kate Middleton for quite some time now.
Last night, the Duchess of Cambridge attended a gala at Kensington Palace and for the occasion, she wore a black lace gown by Diane von Furstenberg. The expecting royal, who's currently in the second trimester of her pregnancy, previously wore the same DVF dress back in November 2014 when she was pregnant with Princess Charlotte.

We often see Kate Middleton at royal events either with her husband, the Duke of Cambridge, or holding the fort by herself, representing the royal family.
After marrying Prince William in April 2011, Kate performed her first solo engagement in October that year showing she was fully dedicating herself to royal life. After all, trying to do an ordinary job shortly after millions of people watched you marry an heir to the throne is probably quite difficult.
Since then she’s become a regular on the official royal scene and was even seen hitting some tennis balls on Halloween.

But the Duchess-approved 'Zarita' dress by DVF has already been worn by Meghan Markle in the past—making for an unexpected royal twinning moment between the two women. The Suits actress, who's currently dating Prince Harry (and sparking major engagement speculation), stepped out in the same lace dress for a red carpet appearance back in 2012. Markle, however, opted for a short, navy blue version of the dress while Middleton went for a black full-length version.

Five years later, DVF still carries the same lace dress (which both women prove is a timeless wardrobe essential) and miraculously, some of the colors and styles are still in stock for those who want to channel Middleton and Markle's look. In fact, the short black version is currently on sale for $139 at dvf.com.
