Super stylish Danish royal princess is the absolute spitting image of the Duchess of Cambridge

THE Duchess of Cambridge is facing stiff competition in the style stakes - from here lookalike Danish counterpart Crown princess Mary.

The pair, both brunettes with stunning smiles, are even the same body type, although at 44, the Aussie-born addition to Denmark's royal family is a decade older.

Mary's appreciation of Kate's stylish threads may have started as early as 2011, when they met in Copenhagen.

There Kate wore a long red £345 LK Bennett coat and Italian Vecceli belt - a look later replicated by Mary, who is married to Denmark's Crown Prince Frederik.

Last November Kate was pictured in a blue £555 Saloni dress - a look echoed by Mary this month at the Women deliver conference in Copenhagen.

And she has recently been crowned the best-dressed young royal for the second year running.

Kate has long been a fashion trail-blazer whose outfits sell-out within minutes of her wearing them in public.

But Australian-born Princess Mary, 44, is being touted as the most stylish - after the mum-of-four took the title ahead of nine others including Duchess of Cambridge and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands.

The award - decided by a readers’ poll created by celebrity magazine Hello! - put Kate, mum to Charlotte and George, in second place.

The result didn't surprise fans of the Danish Princess, who is known for her fashion-forward style and makes regular appearances on global fashion lists.

Princess Mary was also named the Danes' most admired woman in a poll conducted in February.

But her name was missing from Vanity Fair's best-dressed list last year.

Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, appeared on the list dressed in an elegant cream gown with a diamond necklace.
