And she pulls it off perfectly

They say “like mother, like daughter” and in the case of Princess Charlotte and Kate Middleton, the royal resemblance goes far beyond genetics—it extends right into the wardrobe.

In a new photo posted to the Prince and Princess of Wales’s official Instagram account for Father’s Day there's a subtle but sweet nod to Princess Catherine’s signature style. The portrait, taken by celebrity photographer Josh Shinner, shows Prince William with his three children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis—all dressed in coordinating forest green looks under a blooming cherry blossom tree. William stands with his arms around George and Charlotte, who sweetly hugs Louis in front of her.

But take a closer look and you may have noticed something extra familiar: Charlotte is wearing a green and navy tartan scarf, which just so happens to be the exact one Kate wore last Christmas.

The check cashmere scarf is from Scottish brand Kiltane and the Princess of Wales styled it with a structured forest green Alexander McQueen coat, her signature Grace Han handbag and stunning blue topaz and diamond earrings during the family’s annual Christmas Day church outing at Sandringham.

Princess Catherine didn’t appear in the Father’s Day photo, but her presence was definitely felt—through both fashion and family.

Honestly, with a closet like Kate’s, who wouldn’t be tempted to borrow a few staples? Charlotte seems to be taking notes in more ways than one. Just last week at Trooping the Colour, both royals stepped out in coordinating shades of blue. While Kate stunned in a tailored dress and floral hat, Charlotte looked just as elegant in a blue outfit of her own—no earrings or brooch, but the twinning energy was strong.

We’re loving this subtle mother-daughter style sync. Keep it coming, ladies.
