Kate Middleton is no stranger to wearing Princess Diana’s jewellery and crowns.
She especially loves taking inspiration from her iconic fashion sense.
In Omid Scobie’s new book, ‘Endgame’, it suggests that Kate and Meghan were encouraged to dress like Diana so her ‘shine could rub off on them’ and the evidence speaks for itself.
He added, “During the past thirteen years, Diana cosplay has become a royal staple.”
From gowns to airport outfits to royal visits Diana’s done it all and Kate’s done it again.
The two both look absolutely stunning in all the outfits with Diana opting for a more masculine take on her choices as opposed to Kate’s ultra-feminine silhouettes.
These photos showcase all the times Kate has recreated her late mother-in-law’s iconic fashion moments:
