Future sisters-in-law Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton both have signature senses of style. While they don't exactly meet in the middle with their individual tastes, there have been many times that Markle and Middleton wore eerily similar outfits at different points in time, as the InStyle video so deftly demonstrated.

Markle and Middleton aren't quite twinning in these instances and the resemblances were certainly unintentional. But it goes to show you that royal style has become more relaxed and more modern in this era and Markle's assimilation into the family will bring about further head-turning looks that her adoring public will want to copy.

Markle tends to rock a decidedly American sportswear look, with some sexy touches here and there. That makes total sense, given her background and her history as a Hollywood actor. Middleton's sartorial choices are classic and more British, as she has favored tartan patterns and brands like Burberry and Topshop. Since she is wed to the future king, she has less freedom to be daring with her attire.

The InStyle video inspired us to dig a little deeper. Here are 8 additional Markle and Middleton ensembles that are of similar sartorial spirit, despite them not not being in one another's orbits when worn.

1. Tan Trench Coats

Middleton paired a shorter, ruffled, and also belted, Burberry trench in the same hue. She paired her coat with opaque black leggings and a mini black clutch. Overall, it was a similar presentation.

While Middleton's belted dress had a black underlay and an off-the-shoulder, princess-y construction, the color was just as stunning.
