This follows royal news that Duchess Catherine has been following in the footsteps of Princess Diana by wearing similar floral print dresses to the late Princess.
The Duchess of Cambridge often chooses to emulate Prince William’s late mother’s love of floral prints.
In 1982, Princess Diana wore a pink floral dress with a matching hat at Prince William’s christening.
In 2019, Kate wore a strikingly similar dress at Prince William’s charity polo match and was pictured carrying Prince Louis.
The picture bore a shocking resemblance to the one of Diana holding baby William all those years ago.
Kate also famously mirrored Diana’s outfits when she introduced Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis to the world.
