She is playing Kate in The Windsors: Endgame at London's Prince Of Wales Theatre - and it seems the show's stylists have nailed the look.

Dressed in the sort of dark green wax jacket and shirt beloved of the Duchess, she is shown on stage alongside Ciarán Owens' Prince William.

The 38-year-old appears alongside her former EastEnders co-star Tracy-Ann Oberman as the Duchess of Cornwall.

She also performs alongside Harry Enfield, who reprises his role as Prince Charles, and Crystal Condie as the Duchess of Sussex.

The soap opera, which was originally a Channel 4 drama, is a parody of the lives of the British royal family.

Kara, who once dated soap co-star Joe Swash, left EastEnders in 2009.

Speaking last year she said she'd "never say never" to returning to EastEnders as Dawn Swann.

She said on Loose Women: "I'd never say never. I don't think I've been killed just yet, not that I know of."
