  It is known that $\mathcal{N}=8$ supergravity is dual to $\mathcal{N}=4$
super Yang-Mills (SYM) via the double copy relation. Using the explicit
relation between scattering amplitudes in the two theories, we calculate the
soft and collinear limits in $\mathcal{N}=8$ supergravity from know results in
$\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM. In our application of double copy, a particular
self-duality condition is chosen for scalars that allows us to constrain and
determine the R-symmetry indices of the supergravity states in the collinear
limit.
