Ah, to have the life of a royal – an array of designer outfits at your disposal is the stuff of dreams. Luckily though, high-street stores sell pieces that are nearly identical to the designer gear, which allows shoppers to get the royal look for less. 

Case point Marks and Spencer is selling a lookalike dress of the hot pink Alexander McQueen frock that Kate Middleton famously wore paired with a matching hat at London’s Trooping the Color parade in 2017. And it’s under £50 (and selling fast). 

This dress from M&S looks very similar to the one Kate Middleton wore at London’s Trooping the Color parade in 2017. 

It also has a subtle gathering at the neckline, just like the Alexander McQueen one, as well as a round neck. It’s also flowy with a flattering, figure-skimming shape. 

What’s more, it has an open back, which adds a dash of drama and elegance to the look.
