And this is because the Duchess of Sussex’s £3,922 long-sleeved blue-and-white floral Oscar de la Renta dress was very similar to a tunic her mother-in-law wore during a visit to Saudi Arabia in 1986.
Meghan Markle’s floaty floor-length gown bears a striking resemblance to Princess Diana’s Catherine Walker tunic, with similarities in necklines and a blue and white pattern.
The American royal joined her new husband for his cousin Celia McCorquodale’s wedding to George Woodhouse in the village of Rochford, Lincolnshire on Saturday.
However the 36-year-old’s floaty summer dress received mixed reviews from online royal watchers, with some even likening the frock to a baggy pair of curtains and a table cloth.
Many thought the loose-fitting floral frock “swamped” the 36-year-old duchess.
She completed the look with minimal make up, her signature messy bun, towering Aquazzura heels, a £29.50 Marks and Spencer white fascinator and a small clutch bag.
The duchess narrowly avoided falling over as she teetered in a pair of sky-high heels as she made her way to the church hand-in-hand with Prince Harry.
This is not the first time Meghan has paid tribute to Princess Diana in the style stakes.
As she made her way to her second reception on her Royal Wedding day, Meghan was spotted wearing Princess Diana’s dazzling aquamarine ring.
Prince Harry is believed to have given the ring that holds a special place in his heart to his new wife as a touching gift.
The striking aquamarine cocktail ring was part of a set owned by Diana, complete with a matching bracelet featuring the stone set amid several strands of pearls.
In 1997, months before she died, Diana wore the gemstone to an auction of her own wardrobe at Christie’s.
