 		How does Princess Eugenie’s wedding dress stack up against Meghan and Kate’s?

For her royal wedding to Jack Brooksbank on Friday, Princess Eugenie took plenty of style cues from her cousins Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton.

The princess, 28, walked down the aisle at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle in a Peter Pilotto dress that blended traditional and modern details, as well as several personal touches.

The gown’s low back was purposefully designed to show off Eugenie’s scar from her childhood spinal surgery, while its jacquard fabric included a motif of Scottish thistle, Irish shamrocks, the York rose and ivy to represent the bride and groom’s families and home.

Similarly, Markle wore a veil hand-embroidered with the flora of all 53 countries of the Commonwealth when she wed Prince Harry in May.

The wide V neckline and long-sleeved design of Eugenie’s dress combined elements from both Markle and Middleton’s wedding gowns: The Duchess of Sussex, 37, wore a Givenchy boatneck dress with three-quarter sleeves for her nuptials, while the Duchess of Cambridge, 36, chose a lace gown by Alexander McQueen with a deep V neckline for her 2011 wedding. Unlike Markle and Middleton, however, Eugenie opted not to wear a veil.

In addition to both opting for off-the-shoulder gowns, Eugenie and Markle also gravitated toward strikingly similar bandeau-style accessories for their big day. Princess Eugenie wore the Greville Emerald Kokoshnik Tiara, while Markle selected the Queen Mary Diamond Bandeau back in May. The two even styled their hair in likeminded loose buns.

Middleton went for a more traditional look with the Cartier Halo Tiara, which features the elaborate diamond and platinum scrollwork typically associated with royal headwear.

The three tiaras do share one thing in common, however: They all came straight from the Queen’s vault. How’s that for a “something borrowed?”
