• With Prince Harry's engagement to Meghan Markle, Kate Middleton is preparing to welcome a sister-in-law into the royal family.
• The differences between the two are encapsulated in their fashion senses.
• While Middleton tends towards timeless British looks, Markle has trendier tastes.

Kate Middleton is about to welcome a new sister-in-law into the royal family.

On Monday, news broke that Prince Harry was engaged to marry American actress Meghan Markle.

"William and I are absolutely thrilled," Kate Middleton, who is married to Harry's brother and heir to the throne Prince William, told reporters Tuesday."It's such exciting news. It's a really happy time for any couple and we wish them all the best and hope they enjoy this happy moment."

Middleton is probably the person who could best understand what exactly Markle is going through as she prepares to marry into the royal family.

However, so far in life, the two have taken very different approaches to how they present themselves - and that's shone through in their fashion. Here's how Markle and Middleton measure up.
