We've been seeing a lot more of Meghan Markle these days and we have to say: We're not hating it. We also have to say that, in addition to being impressed with her career and humanitarian work, daaaaamn. The woman has good style. It's sleek, it's sophisticated, and it's also a lot like Kate Middleton's. Whether she's kicking it with a casual look or out for a night on the town, Meghan always keeps it classic. (Sound like anyone else we know?)

Of course, Meghan isn't yet royalty -- and it's highly unlikely she'll ever be the Queen of England -- so she has a little more leeway when it comes to her wardrobe than the duchess. That said, almost everything she wears reminds us of Kate Middleton just a little. Maybe it's wishful thinking or maybe the women really are long lost style twins. (Cut to a montage of the girls raiding each other's closets at Kensington Palace, please.)

Since she's started dating Prince Harry, Meghan has obviously been much more scrutinized than ever. But even before she became a household name, her style was clean, crisp, and classy. Just like Kate. Whether she's wearing a knee-length dress and coat or a pair of go-to nude pumps (sound familiar?), Meghan always looks timeless. And although we're not huge fans of comparing the women, it's almost impossible to overlook their sartorial similarities. Guess the Wales boys have a type. 

Here are 16 times Meghan Markle channeled Kate Middleton's style. Or maybe it's the other way around?

Coat Affinity

If there's one thing Kate Middleton loves, it's a coat. Meghan channeled her maybe-sister-in-law at the closing ceremony of the Invictus Games by rocking a cute trench. The Suits actress styled it a bit differently than the duchess would, but hey, a coat is a coat.

The Classics -- With a Twist

Of course we could see Kate in a crisp white button-down, jeans, and tan flats at an informal event. But we love Meghan's edgy, ripped denim twist.

Leather Lover

While it's hard to picture Kate Middleton in a purple leather biker jacket, we must say: Meghan looks very regal with it draped over her shoulders like that.

Sunglasses and a vest? We definitely think we've seen Kate in a similar "off-duty" look.

If this isn't a Kate Middleton look, not sure what is.

Kate? Is That You?

If three inches of fabric were added to Meghan's dress, she could be Kate Middleton. Shiny, bouncy locks and all.

Aside from the bracelets, and again, the length, this dress looks like something the duchess would wear for one of her more casual appearances.

Take away the leopard pumps and bright red bag and you've got yourself one heck of a Kate outfit.

The duchess would look stunning in this outfit. In fact, Kate, can you call up Meghan and ask her to borrow this? It was made for you!

Alright, so we're obviously never going to see Kate Middleton in an outfit -- or position -- like this. But we like to imagine that when she's on some remote island with Will, she looks just like this.

Casual & Classic

Kate wouldn't have her sweater untucked, but other than that, she'd definitely wear an outfit like this.

We can't help but wonder if Meghan had a premonition about Prince Harry back in 2014, because she looks like absolute royalty here. Kate would definitely approve.

This may be a look Meghan wore in Suits, but it would definitely work on Kate, as well.

A black dress, pumps, and a chic chignon? Meghan and Kate know it's a formula where a gal can't go wrong.
