Does Kate Middleton Dress Like Princess Diana?

The comparisons between Kate Middleton and Princess Diana have started the moment the public found out that Kate and William were an item. And it’s easy to see why. Both were dating the future king of England and both were not of royal descent. But do they have anything else in common? If you actually pay attention to their outfits you’ll see that both Diana and Kate have worn very similar pieces or a similar style of clothing. It could be down to royal dress-code rules, but some of these looks are just too similar to think it’s a coincidence. Let’s take a look, shall we?

1. Houndstooth has been a popular pattern for a long while now. It’s one of those classic things that never really go out of fashion. But we rarely see it in red, usually, it’s just black and white. So it’s really interesting that both Diana and Kate chose to wear this pattern in red.

2. Diana wore this when she visited the Isle of Wight in 1985 and it looks like Kate chose a very similar look for her daughter’s Christening in 2015. Different designers made these, but you can’t deny that the vibe is the same.

3. Who knew wearing sailor dresses would be this popular amongst new royals, but here we are. This photo of Diana was taken in Buckingham Palace in 1980 and Kate wore this Alexander McQueen sailor dress when visiting Canada in 2011.

4. Diana wore this floral pattern dress for her wedding rehearsal in 1981. Yup, even royals have to do wedding rehearsals to make sure everything goes smoothly on the big day. And what do you know, it looks like Kate Middleton decided to wear a very similar look while at Diana’s memorial garden.
