9 times Meghan Markle took style cues from Princess Diana

Markle wore a green-and-blue Burberry tartan coat with a black turtleneck underneath while visiting Edinburgh Castle in Scotland.

Decades earlier, Princess Diana wore a similar blue-and-green plaid dress while attending the The Bute Highland Games in the same country.

On June 18, 1985, Princess Diana attended the annual Royal Ascot race while wearing a white blazer with black lapels. She also wore a black hat with a white rim, and carried a black clutch.

Almost 33 years to the day exactly, Markle attended the same event in a white Givenchy dress with a black belt around her waist. Like Princess Diana, Markle wore a black-and-white hat, and carried a black clutch.

Markle visited Sydney, Australia, with Prince Harry in a sleeveless dress that had a fitted waist and knee-length skirt. Markle paired the look with tan heels, a gold bracelet, and Princess Diana's butterfly-shaped earrings.

The Princess of Wales wore an almost-identical outfit while visiting Argentina in 1995. At the time, she wore a sleeveless white dress with a fitted waist, though its skirt was shorter than Markle's. Diana also wore black heels, carried a black purse, and wore statement pearl jewelry.

Princess Diana first wore a blue pleated skirt in May 1992 for a trip to Egypt. She paired the garment with a textured belt, as well as a wrap-style shirt with a large collar and elbow-length sleeves.

Markle then put her own twist on the style in October 2018 while visiting Rotorua, New Zealand. She wore a deep-blue pleated skirt — which was seemingly see-through — with a matching shirt that had three-quarter-length sleeves.

She paired a $138 purple Aritzia dress with a long, $1,395 red Sentaler coat and Stuart Weitzman pumps for an appearance in Birkenhead, United Kingdom. For accessories, Markle chose a tan handbag and simple gold earrings.

Years earlier in 1989, Princess Diana visited Hong Kong in a red-and-purple outfit of her own. Her version of the look included a white blouse with a red cardigan worn over it, a knee-length purple skirt, and shining purple heels. She also carried a matching clutch, and wore a purple hat with a red ribbon attached.

The Princess of Wales first wore the style in 1990 while attending the Diamond Ball in London, England.

Her dazzling Catherine Walker gown had long sleeves that puffed at the shoulders, a sweetheart neckline, and a ruched bodice that gathered in the middle. Diana also wore a diamond choker covered in green jewels, and dangling earrings.

In 2019, Markle wore a similar look — a long-sleeved gown covered in blue sequins — to watch a Cirque du Soleil performance. Her $6,000 dress was designed by Roland Mouret, and she wore it with no accessories aside from a clutch.

For a Commonwealth Day youth event in March 2019, Markle wore a green dress with a matching Erdem coat on top. The latter garment — by a Canadian designer to honor her time spent in Canada while filming "Suits" — was embellished with small floral designs made from black sequins.

It also looked a lot like a coat Princess Diana wore while pregnant with Prince William in 1982. Though her green jacket didn't have any sparkles, the princess' version did have a dark swirl design made from velvet across its collar and bodice.

While visiting the US in 1997, Princess Diana arrived at an American Red Cross event wearing a sleeveless red gown, diamond jewelry, and red pumps. She also carried a matching clutch.

Markle was seemingly inspired by the look in March 2020, when she attended the Mountbatten Music Festival in London, England, wearing a similar style. Her $1,838 floor-length red gown by Safiyaa had a short overlay that covered her shoulders.

Markle's accessories, however, were almost the same as those worn by her late mother-in-law. She wore red heels and carried a large red purse, though she deviated from the princess' diamonds by wearing a red dangling pair.

For the 2020 Commonwealth Day Service in London, Markle wore an emerald Emilia Wickstead cape dress with a matching William Chambers fascinator and Gabriela Hearst handbag.

The style was similar to what Princess Diana wore for the 1982 Trooping The Colour. That year, Diana's green dress had a button-up bodice, puff sleeves, and a textured neckline. Diana also wore a green fascinator like Markle did years later.
