Prince Harry and Meghan Markle recently shared a sneak peek of Lilibet’sfirst birthdayparty. It didn’t take long for royal aficionados to notice that Markle paid tribute to Princess Diana with her pinstripe pants.
This week, the Duke andDuchess of Sussexreleased anever-before-seen portraitof Lilibet. The pic was featured in a slideshow that was posted by professional photographer Misan Harriman, who also shared a snap of Markle’soutfit.
If you scroll to the right, you’ll see a picture of Markle holding Lilibet and standing next to Harriman’s wife and kids. Markle is wearing pinstripe linen pants, which resemble this pair onMadewellfor $78.
This isn’t the first time that Markle has takenfashion inspiration from her late mother-in-law. In fact, the duchess has donned similar ensembles on several occasions—like in 2018, when Markle wore a yellow Brandon Maxwell sheath to the Youth Challenge reception. (FYI, Princess Diana often wore yellow.)
When Markle was living in London, she frequently channeled the Princess of Wales’s style during royal outings, from glen plaid to sequin gowns. And when the duchess was pregnant with Archie and Lilibet, she didn’t stop. Remember her red-and-purple ensemble and her green coat dress?
Coincidence or not, we love this subtle tribute.
