Looking at photos of Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton's strikingly similar debuts last year got us thinking about how many other exciting (and likely overwhelming) first-time experiences they've shared as regular women who happened to become royalty. Meghan's whirlwind 2018 was full of fun firsts, from being on the balcony at Trooping the Colour to a solo outing with Queen Elizabeth II and even her first royal tour with Prince Harry. Oh, and we can't forget about that fun pregnancy news.

The Duchess of Cambridge made a lot of the same moves back in 2008 while dating William, and ticked even more firsts off her list after they got engaged in 2010. We've put Kate and Meghan's royal firsts side by side — there will be plenty more to add this year!
