Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, and Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, are married to Princess Diana's two sons and have taken inspiration from Diana over the years.
"When Catherine, the Princess of Wales, honors Diana with her style, I think it's both a wink to William and his mother," Kinsey Schofield, royal expert and host of the"To Di For Daily" podcast, told Fox News Digital."She knows how deep their bond was, and it is a way for her to honor that love. Like a sweet secret between the two of them."
"We primarily saw Princess Diana dressed as a working royal, so Kate's choices are much more Diana," she shared."Meghan was only a working royal for a brief period, so whenever we see her pull out the fascinator it looks contrived. I think Meghan is very eager to be seen as Princess Diana 2.0, so there is that intention behind her wardrobe. However, I believe Catherine's is a tribute to the mother and friend her husband lost.

Added Holder:"Over the years, Kate has been more successful at recreating Diana’s style partly because their figures are very similar; what looked good on Diana’s tall, athletic frame naturally looks good on Kate, and also because both ladies held similar status in the family as wife to the heir to the throne - their looks both needed to have a certain status.
Even during periods of mourning, the royal wives have turned to Princess Diana's previous looks for inspiration. Schofield noted that there’s a reason why Middleton and Markle will continue to channel their mother-in-law as they attempt to carve out their own identities in the public eye.
