Prince William’s latest look happened to match an outfit recently worn by his brother, Prince Harry.
On Nov. 19, Prince William and his wife, Kate Middleton, attended the Royal Variety Performance at Royal Albert Hall in London, the annual fundraiser for the Royal Variety Charity that’s been a staple on the royal family’s calendar for generations.
The Prince and Princess of Wales, both 43, matched their fashion by wearing velvet for their first return to the red carpet in two years.
Princess Kate wore a deep green velvet gown with Queen Elizabeth’s Greville Chandelier earrings, while Prince William sported a tuxedo featuring a black velvet jacket with a white shirt, a black bow tie and black pants.

The Prince of Wales’ dapper fashion called back to a similar look recently worn by his estranged brother, the Duke of Sussex.
On Nov. 8, Prince Harry, 41, wore a very similar tuxedo to Kris Jenner’s 70th birthday bash in Beverly Hills.
The James Bond-themed party was held at Jeff Bezos’ home, and Harry leaned into the theme by sporting a black tuxedo with a black velvet jacket, white shirt, black bowtie and black trousers.
He added a red poppy to his lapel to commemorate Remembrance, pinning on the flower popularly worn by members of the British royal family in early November to commemorate lives lost in war.
Speaking to PEOPLE about the event, a source said of Meghan and Harry, “They arrived hand-in-hand and looked very happy.”

“Meghan was glowing in a black wrap-style dress that showed off one leg. She looked very glamorous and fit the theme perfectly. Harry looked sharp in a tuxedo with a poppy for Remembrance Day,” the source said.
On Nov. 9, which is Remembrance Day in the U.K., fans spotted that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had been removed from a carousel of photos that Jenner and Kim Kardashian shared to Instagram.
PEOPLE understood that the photos were deleted because the Sussexes had checked “no” on a photo consent form, but a source close to the event disputed it and said, “There were no consent forms.”
As for William’s latest fashion statement, the heir to the throne seems to have a penchant for velvet, with velvet tuxedo jackets and blazers in his collection.
