The late Princess Diana is the style blueprint for so many, and it appears that includes her royal daughters-in-law, the Princess of Wales and the Duchess of Sussex.
The wives of PPrince William and Prince Harry have been known to step out in outfits that appear as a fashion tribute to the world's most famed style icon, and it's easy to see why - Diana's timeless look was ahead of her time.
Here at HELLO!, royal fashion is always on our radar, and we recently delved into the archives, finding this style gem from 1983. King Charles' former wife was pictured at Kensington Palace, alongside her husband, then known as Prince Charles, with baby William in 1983.

Kate's take on Diana's all-white look
In 2023, the mother of Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis was pictured at a local baby bank in Windsor. Dressing down with an elegant edge, Kate donned the 'Edina' jumper by luxury high street store Reiss.
It had the same flattering cowl neck as Diana's, only she paired it with a simple pair of jeans - a more casual take on Diana's '80s look.
Meghan emulates Princess Diana
In 2018, when Meghan was still a working royal, she carried out an engagement alongside Prince Harry in Birmingham.

Layering up in style, she mirrored Diana’s winter aesthetic and added a cashmere and wool blend sweater from AllSaints, which kept her warm and chic.
