Queen Elizabeth II, Princess Charlene Match In Khaki Outfits (PHOTOS)

It was royal twinsies day in Europe on Tuesday as both Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Charlene donned similar khaki looks, countries apart from each other. Is there some kind of regal fashion ESP?

In London, Her Majesty greeted the one and only Olympic torch at Windsor Castle today. Carrying an unopened umbrella, the queen wore one of her trademark hats and topped her ensemble with a khaki trench coat that definitely had a cape-y vibe to it. Chic!

And over on the continent, Princess Charlene of Monaco and her husband Albert II headed to Stuttgart, Germany, to tour a museum dedicated to German car manufacturer Mercedes-Benz. (Were they picking out their next hot rod?) The former Olympic swimmer stuck to a flowy dress in her fave color, khaki, after possibly using up all her colorful clothes yesterday, and sported sunglasses on her head.

As far as we can tell, both women met for the first time this year at the Diamond Jubilee lunch, but from the looks of their style senses at least, they'd be fast friends.

Two royal ladies, one khaki trench coat look: who wore it better? Tell us in the comments!

Kim looks better in this dress. Maybe it's the shoes and the cut of the skirt, but Kim looks tall. If only she would cover up those half moons just a bit. Rachel looks a bit dowdy, maybe the fault of the shoes.

What is the point of this story? They are not even in the same place.

There is no point to this story. HP has to fill up space and generate nonsense since they have lowered their standards to tabloid status. That doesn't require any skill or smarts.

Really?! I didn't think they matched all that much - just cos they're both wearing something tan. And they weren't even in the same country!! Fail...

More and more of HP headlines make me cringe. They sound like the tabloids at the check out counter which means I didn't think HP would resort to such a low form of journalism.
02:54 PM on 07/11/2012
Exactly. Many articles appear to have been written by semi-literate, twenty-something college dropouts, trying to sound like post-pubescent valley girls.

True. This not one of Charlene's better looks. I do like the dress from the waist up but from there down including the wide sleeves is pretty tacky looking.
