- Kate wore shorts for a charity sailing contest in Plymouth on Sunday.
- Duchess of Cambridge will not wear shorts again as a royal until 2019.
- Meghan has worn shorts several times this summer, including to support Harry’s polo team.
Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton are both wearing a summer favourite.
Kate travelled to the ancient naval town of Plymouth on Sunday to compete in the Great Britain Sail Grand Prix. The Duchess of Cambridge wore a nautical-inspired ensemble that included a striped navy sweater and white linen shorts before changing into a wetsuit for the boat race.
Kate did not wear shorts in public as a member of the royal family until 2019. That was also for a charity sailing contest, and her sea-worthy ensemble included New Balance sneakers and a baseball cap.
Kate, 40, also wore khaki shorts during her trip to the Caribbean with Prince William earlier this year for another sailing excursion.

Meghan, 40, has been seen wearing shorts several times this summer. The Duchess of Sussex wore shorts and a top in the same colour twice while supporting Prince Harry and his polo team at the Santa Barbara Polo Club, not far from their Montecito home.
