On December 20, to receive the royal family’s Christmas trees at Kungliga Slottet in Stockholm, Princess Madeleine, daughter of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia, appeared in an outfit inspired by that of Kate Middleton.
The Kate effect
Accompanied by Princesses Leonor and Adrienne, and her husband, Christopher O’Neill, who is also Duchess of Hälsingland and Gästrikland had bet on a red tartan skirt signed Love Shack Fancy, which she completed with a black sweater, before perching on a pair of black leather Christian Louboutin boots. Three years ago, Kate Middleton wore practically the same thing, to receive military families at Kensington Palace.
During this party organized a few days before Christmas, in 2018, Kate Middleton had opted for a small black cashmere cardigan from the Brora brand instead of Madeleine’s sweater, and her red skirt was signed Emilia Wickstead. Like the Swedish princess, she wore black, suede boots.
The Letizia / Victoria case
This is not the first time that crowned heads have been inspired, in terms of look. Last November, while expected for a banquet in Stockholm, Queen Letizia of Spain donned a voluminous, long dress in tulle by H&M (a brand from her host country), which Crown Princess Victoria had on. worn in June 2020, for an official shoot alongside her husband, Prince Daniel. Proof that there is no need to put a lot of money into an outfit to look like a queen.
