paid a sweet tribute to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, during her visit to the Invictus Games in Canada.
The Duchess of Sussex, who is now back in California, wore a plethora of new outfits as she joined her husband, Prince Harry, to , but there was one particular one which bore a striking resemblance to one Diana favoured many years ago.
On Sunday, Harry and Meghan attended various matches, between the USA and Nigeria.
For the occasion, the duchess kept warm by wearing a (£262), (£211), and black Stuart Weitzman boots (£455).

But it was her stunning jacket which was a sweet nod to the late Princess of Wales.
Meghan wore Doen’s Duccio jacket in castle grey (£563) – now sold out online – which, according to the brand, is inspired by “the sharp suiting styles of the ‘70s”.
The brand claims the jacket is a favourite of the co-founders Margaret and Katherine and features an exaggerated collar with a notched lapel, full-length sleeves, and a tailored silhouette—plus a welt pocket at the breast and flap pockets at the waist.
Princess Diana wore a very similar grey jacket on many occasions in the past, as she regularly favoured velvet lapels for some of her suits.
In 1984, Diana made two major appearances wearing a grey pinstripe coat by Jan Van Velden with a similarly exaggerated collar and notched lapel, but she paired it with a white shirt, a bow tie, and black heels.
In March, she wore the outfit to visit a health centre in Lisson Grove, London. A few months later, in November, she wore it again but with longer hair, a poppy, and bright red shoes to visit Barnardo’s, a charity she was patron of, in London.

Meanwhile, it’s not only Meghan who has been inspired by her late mother-in-law’s timeless style.
The duchess’s sister-in-law, the Princess of Wales, has also sported similar looks over the years.
In October 2018, Princess Kate visited Coach Core Essex in London wearing a black and white tweed Smythe blazer with a collar featuring a velvet lapel, just like Princess Diana’s.
Four years later, in 2022, Kate wore a similar look for her visit to Denmark. Kate’s coat was designed by Catherine Walker and was described online as a “sharply tailored gunmetal grey Birdseye cashmere and wool coat, with black lapels and cuffs, based on an 18th century naval frockcoat.”
