Since stepping out together in public for the first time on Christmas Day in 2017, the Duchess of Cambridge and the Duchess of Sussex have continued to dazzle in their royal roles as Duchesses. Along with their husbands Prince William and Prince Harry, the Fab Four have enjoyed attending royal engagements and charity events together. Kate and Meghan even managed to spend some quality time together as they laughed together while watching a game of tennis together at Wimbledon in the Summer. Kate also broke her silence over the arrival of Meghan's baby earlier this week, telling the crowds in Leicester she was 'absolutely excited' before adding: "It's such a special time to have little kiddies. And now a cousin for George, Charlotte and Louis as well! It's really, really special."
