Both Catherine and Letizia were born into typical middle-class families who had no palace connections.
In addition to these more superficial similarities, Catherine and Letizia share a deeper sort of bond.
They have faced many of the same challenges especially in terms of how they were received into royal life.
Over the years, these common experiences have allowed Catherine and Letizia to forge a unique friendship.
Although they live countries apart, the two royals inhabit very similar worlds.
Because of this unusual choice, Catherine and Letizia only crossed paths the next day at the royal wedding.
Because of this, the article alleged, Letizia was “jealous” of Catherine.
USA Today, also considered the two princesses “rivals” in a 2014 article.
However, according to the American publication, Letizia was the one who was coming out ahead.
“She’s the next Queen of Spain, Princess Letizia,” read the report.
During this grand event, Catherine and Letizia were spotted chatting with huge smiles on their faces.
Dressed in similar black and white attire, the duo looked like two peas in a pod.
However, royal life is not the only thing that the two women have in common.
Over the years, the royals have experienced a number of “twinning” moments.
In March 2020, Catherine wore a pink collared Rixo frock to the Bahamas.
The reason for this might have to do with the evolution of the royal role.
This means that Catherine and Letizia are inevitably attracted to similar styles.
Unfortunately, these major events are not always easy to plan.
The visit only took place after the Spanish royal house scheduled and cancelled two other trips to London.
The second was rescheduled due to surprise general elections in the king and queen’s home country.
After all, their duty to their country must always come before fun visits and friendships.
