Better yet, it looks like the two women are on the same wave length when it comes to fashion - Meghan has sported many a look reminiscent of her late mother-in-law.

It's comforting to know Diana would have loved seeing her son's new wife take inspiration from her fashion sense.

During her and husband Prince Harry's current royal tour of Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga, the Duchess of Sussex stepped out in Queensland's Fraser Island in this Reformation striped flowing dress, featuring sheer fabric.

Fans were quick to compare the style to one that Princess Diana wore before her 1981 wedding to Prince Charles. The 19-year-old Princess to-be, who was working in childcare at the time, made global news when she was snapped in a Laura Ashley skirt which became transparent in the sun.
