Two of Britain's most recognisable style icons may have very different wardrobes, but when it comes to autumn's biggest fashion mood, the Princess of Wales and Claudia Winkleman are surprisingly in sync.
With The Traitors returning for a new season soon, Claudia's signature countryside-meets-gothic aesthetic is set to be back in the spotlight - think heritage checks, tweed, cosy knits and plenty of old-school British charm.
And, as it happens, Princess Kate has long championed a similarly polished take on the heritage trend, regularly stepping out in classic tailoring, tartan and timeless country-inspired pieces.
Heritage dressing is big news for autumn/winter, so I've scoured the high street to find the perfect pieces to recreate both women's distinctive looks - from Claudia's quirky styling to Kate's royal take on the trend.
The great news? Heritage fashion works whether your style is more palace or more castle.
Kate often wears autumn's must-have knit with jeans for a cosy and casual finish.
Claudia is much more likely to embrace the eccentric side of argyle, layering it into her signature oversized aesthetic.
Wool jacket
A smart wool jacket is a classic country staple for both women.
Kate keeps her herringbone outerwear elegant and structured, often pairing it with tailored separates, while Claudia gives the heritage fabric a more relaxed, oversized feel, making it look effortlessly cool.
Pussybow blouse
Kate's take on the pussybow blouse is feminine and refined, usually tucked neatly into trousers.
Claudia embraces its retro appeal, often styling it with looser layers for a more vintage-inspired finish.
Tartan skirt
Tartan is a shared favourite, but the styling couldn't be more different.
Kate makes the traditional print feel polished and preppy, while Claudia leans into its eccentric, countryside charm with chunky knits and statement boots.
Pie crust blouse
The romantic pie crust collar suits both women's love of classic British dressing.
Kate keeps the silhouette elegant and restrained, whereas Claudia makes the vintage detail feel more relaxed and fashion-forward.
Wide-leg trousers
Both have embraced wide-leg trousers, but Kate favours a tailored silhouette that feels sophisticated and modern.
Claudia prefers a more generous, relaxed shape, often balancing the volume with oversized knitwear and flat shoes.
Knee-high boots
Kate has several pairs of knee-high boots in her collection, including sleek suede designs and equestrian styles.
Claudia, meanwhile, favours chunkier, more practical styles that bring a tougher edge to feminine pieces.
Tailored coat
The tailored coat is a quintessentially timeless choice for both.
Kate wears various shades, from burgundy to grey, in a distinctly polished way, with clean lines and elegant accessories. Claudia takes the same classic staple and makes it feel more understated and effortlessly thrown-on.
