IF IMITATION is the sincerest form of flattery, the women who belong to this club are the gold standard of flatterers. Known as Replikates, they're not just royal fans, they're superfans - and they've made it their mission to match the wardrobe of the Princess of Wales, whether it's an off-the-rack number from high street store Zara, a haute couture creation from Alexander McQueen or a ballgown from Jenny Packham, Kate's designer fave.
One of the proudest RepliKate members is Lady Brook and today she's a dead ringer for her idol in a sparkly navy-blue tweed ruffle jacket by Rebecca Taylor with gold Missoma rhodochrosite pyramid hoop earrings and a stainless-steel Cartier watch - just like those worn by Kate.
Brook became a member of the club during the pandemic when the world ground to a halt. Her stylist suggested she find a celebrity whose body shape was similar to hers. The Princess of Wales, Brook decided, was a perfect match.
"At my fingertips was just a wealth of knowledge and inspiration and also wardrobe pieces that were available," she tells YOU via video call from her home in the US.
Her admiration for Kate goes further than the aesthetic, she adds. "Kate has such grace and is so beautiful, inside and out. She has such a compassionate and grounded approach to life.
