Kate Middleton colour co-ordinates with Duchess Sophie - snubbing Meghan's claim

Kate Middleton appeared to snub Meghan Markle's claim after colour co-ordinating with Sophie, The Duchess of Edinburgh.

Kate and Sophie joined their husbands Prince William and Prince Edward this afternoon at a Garden Party at Buckingham Palace.

The Princess of Wales wore a gorgeous light blue Ellie Saab skirt and matching top that she previously donned to the Royal Ascot four years ago.

Sophie also looked lovely in the same colour as their husbands put on a stylish display in waistcoated suits.

Their co-ordinating display, as part of the Coronation celebrations, appeared to fly in the face of what Meghan suggested last year, writes The Mirror.

The Duchess of Sussex said that she had to adapt her wardrobe after marrying into the Royal Family during the first part of her Netflix series, Harry & Meghan.

Meghan said: “Most of the time that I was in the UK, I rarely wore colour.

“There was thought in that. To my understanding, you can't ever wear the same colour as Her Majesty if there's a group event, but then you also shouldn't be wearing the same colour as one of the other, more senior members of the family."

Meghan added: "So I was like...well, what's a colour they'll probably never wear? Camel? Beige? White? So I wore a lot of muted tones but it was also so I could just blend in.

"I'm not trying to stand out here. There's no version of me joining this family and trying not to do everything I could to fit in."

She added: "I don't want to embarrass the family."
