During a 24-hour whirlwind tour to raise awareness about a childhood survey, Kate Middleton wore a coat similar to one favored by Meghan Markle, grabbing attention.
The Duchess of Cambridge met with families on her tour to raise awareness of the poll, Five Big Questions on the Under Fives.
Believing that many social challenges stem from experiences in early childhood, Kate Middleton initiated the project to address these issues.
Kate hopes the 5BigQuestions survey will trigger change for future generations and it is thought to be the largest of its kind in the UK.
Kate said: “The Early Years are more crucial for future health and happiness than any other moment in our lifetime.”
“I want to hear the key issues affecting our families and communities so I can focus my work on where it is needed most.”
The research was commissioned by the Royal Foundation, which hopes it will “spark the biggest ever conversation on early childhood”.
On the latest leg of the tour, the Duchess of Cambridge wore a £149 Massimo Dutti coat strikingly similar to the Reiss garment preferred by Meghan Markle.
