33 Times Kate Middleton Channeled Princess Diana’s Sense of Style

Tags:

The fashion of Kate Middleton can be boiled down to three words: classy, elegant, effortless. In fact, it reminds us of Princess Diana‘s style, which was legendary. As common women who married into royalty, Diana and Kate share so many qualities, be it their status as loving, down-to-earth moms, their time spent in the spotlight with the cameras always snapping, and their overall beloved status with millions of fans. But it’s Kate and Diana’s memorable fashion sense that just may be their biggest shared trait.

See what we mean in these photos. Kate Middleton blew us away with her subtle way of honoring her late mother-in-law whenever she gets the chance through what she’s wearing. For instance, who remembers when Princess Diana broke out her signature plaid Catherine Walker coat for her trips to Japan, Scotland, and an English children’s hospice? The duchess Kate Middleton similarly chose a plaid coat to visit a children’s hospice in October 2016, and photographers had a field day. It seems that everyone knew Kate’s outfit was paying homage to her husband Prince William’s dear mom, and it truly warmed our hearts.

She loves copying Diana’s iconic looks, and we love her for it!
