The Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry are not exactly known for sharing sartorial tastes.
But it seems they do both have a penchant for £300 leather-lined wellington boots.
While watching her husband Prince William from the sidelines of a football match, Kate committed a rare fashion faux pas when she turned up in the same green wellies as her brother-in-law.
I have to confess I really find this type of article extraordinary. I can't see that it is a 'faute pas' to wear rubber boots in the country, and if the 'alleged mistake' was to be wearing the same boot as Harry, then that is even more extraordinary. The fact is that daytime country wear for the British is actually pretty standardised - people all wear the same type and brand of 'good countrywear' for country activities, it is NOT like two people turning up in (say) the same Stuart Parvin dress.
If I could help a bit with some information, 'standard' country wear is usually:
Boots by Hunter [the famous 'green wellies'] or L'Aigle or Le Chameau or Dubarry
Waxed jacket by Barbour
Quilted Green jackets and quilted sleeveless bodywarmers. [The favourite royal hardwearing brand used to be made by Husky, which used to be used almost generically [in the same way as sellotape is] to describe quilted sleeveless jackets]
Tweed suits for the ladies, often with quite short skirts for younger women, finished with Hermes scarves.
So far as the BRF is concerned, you will see that its various members all follow this type of country dressing, as do many of their subjects engaged in country pursuits, so it is NOT surprising that they - and their subjects - sometimes 'match' each other. You might like to look back at any pictures of the BRF photographed at shoots or country events and you will see exactly what I mean........
Hope this is of interest,
