Meghan accessorised her outfit with Chanel ballerinas and a Lady Dior bag – two of Diana’s favourites – as well as a Cartier watch inherited from her.
Diana was frequently seen carrying her quilted Lady Dior bag, prompting the design to be renamed from ‘Chouchou’ to ‘Lady’ in her honour.

Butterfly suite
Princess Diana’s charming butterfly suite comprises earrings, a necklace and bracelet.
She debuted two pieces from the set during an official visit to Canada in 1986.
While in Vancouver, Diana accessorised her royal blue Catherine Walker suit with the butterfly earrings and a gold necklace, featuring a matching slide enhancer.
The yellow gold design is set with dark blue gemstones, believed to be sapphires.

The princess notably wore this bracelet for a visit to the Lord Gage Centre in Newham in 1990, and continued to wear it over the next decade.

In 2018, following her marriage to Prince Harry, Meghan showcased Diana’s earrings and bracelet in Sydney, during their royal tour of Australia.
She has since repeated both pieces, including at the launch of her clothing collection with the charity Smart Works, and a charity performance at the Royal Albert Hall.

Off-the-shoulder neckline
In 1987, Princess Diana sported a spectacular pink satin evening gown, featuring a deep off-shoulder neckline that showed off her décolletage.
The dress, designed by Catherine Walker, was selected for a Gala performance by the Royal Ballet at the Berlin Opera House.
This look appeared to be a source of inspiration for Meghan’s Trooping the Colour ensemble in 2018, where she chose a Carolina Herrera dress with a similar neckline and hue.

Cartier Française watch
Diana wore her Cartier Tank Française on several occasions, including a 1997 visit to London’s Shri Swaminarayan Mandir Hindu Temple and an engagement at the British Lung Foundation that same year.
At the time, the yellow gold timepiece was priced at £17,800.

It is said that, following Diana’s death, Prince William chose to keep the watch, while Prince Harry opted for her engagement ring.

However, the brothers swapped when William decided to propose to Kate Middleton.
Harry later gave the Cartier watch to Meghan, who has worn it on countless occasions. It is a clear favourite from her inherited collection.
Strappy red dress
Attending the 2021 Salute To Freedom Gala in New York, Meghan oozed glamour as she graced the red carpet alongside Prince Harry.
The Duchess’s dress, a bespoke design by Carolina Herrera, was reminiscent of one worn by Princess Diana.
In 1995, the late princess attended a swanky dinner party in Argentina, donning a strappy scarlet dress by Catherine Walker.
The glamorous lace mini dress incorporated a plunging off-the-shoulder neckline and strap detailing, creating a distinctive aesthetic.

Aquamarine ring
Among Diana’s extensive jewellery collection was a striking emerald-cut cocktail ring.
The piece, a gift from Lucia Flecha de Lima, was made by Asprey in the 1990s.
She memorably teamed the ring with a blue one-shoulder Versace dress for a fundraising gala in Sydney, Australia, in 1996.
Diana wore the emerald-cut design only on one other occasion: a party celebrating the launch of her dress auction at Christie’s, in London, the following year.
Meghan re-introduced this stunning ring, last worn in 1997, on her wedding day.
She paired the jewel with a sleek Stella McCartney ivory gown for her evening reception at Frogmore House.

White pencil dress
During her 2018 royal tour visiting cities in Australia, Fiji, Tonga and New Zealand, Meghan opted for a sophisticated white pencil dress by Karen Gee.
The simple, figure-hugging design echoed one worn by her late mother-in-law, some two decades earlier, in 1995.

Hailing from Versace, Diana’s dress incorporated a near identical neckline and silhouette, albeit with a slightly shorter length.

Breaking: The Entire Internet Is Tripping Out Over Sketchy Image That Appears To Show Patrick Mahomes Rocking Racist Symbol On His Clothing …..see more
Patrick Mahomes is receiving a lot of backlash online over a picture that appeared to show him rocking a Nazi symbol.
On Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs improved to 9-0 against their division rival Denver Broncos.
Along with their 9-0 start, the Chiefs have now won 15 straight games (including postseason) dating back to the 2023 season.
The Chiefs offense struggled in week 10, barely surviving to seal the win with a late blocked field goal.
However, a win is a win no matter how it happens.
After the game, one social media user decided to troll Patrick Mahomes by posting an old picture of him wearing a headband that appeared to have a swastika on it.
In a surprising revelation on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, Elon Musk commented on pop superstar Taylor Swift’s recent appearances at NFL games, stating, “I’d rather break my leg than see Taylor Swift during an NFL game.” The billionaire and tech tycoon’s comment quickly became one of the platform’s top trending topics, with fans and critics alike weighing in on the unexpected sentiment.
Since Elon Musk’s $44bn acquisition of X last year, the platform has undergone a series of notable changes, from overhauling the verification system to the reinstatement of former US President Donald Trump. Musk has not only gutted trust and safety teams but also installed a new CEO, former NBCUniversal executive Linda Yaccarino, making his influence felt in both operational and content aspects of the platform. With this fresh comment about Swift, Musk further establishes his fearless approach to sharing personal opinions on X, regardless of public perception.
Taylor Swift, meanwhile, has recently become a regular face at NFL games, particularly at Arrowhead Stadium, home of the Kansas City Chiefs. Her budding relationship with the Chiefs’ All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce has drawn considerable media attention. Swift’s appearances at these games, coupled with her high-profile relationship, have drawn an avalanche of media attention and a significant increase in game viewership. An average of nearly 27 million viewers tuned into the Chiefs-Jets game, hoping to catch a glimpse of the music icon.
Musk’s comment on Swift’s NFL appearances has predictably divided opinions on X. Supporters of the “Shake It Off” singer were quick to defend her, criticizing Musk for his seemingly unprovoked remark. Others opined that the tech mogul’s comment was perhaps in jest or simply reflective of his known penchant for sparking internet debates.
Regardless of Musk’s intentions, his statement has reignited discussions about celebrity involvement in sports and the cultural impact of such appearances. As the NFL capitalizes on Swift’s newfound passion for the game, Musk’s provocative comment ensures that the intersection of pop culture, sports, and technology remains as dynamic and unpredictable as ever.
In a world where every tweet can spark a global conversation, it remains to be seen if Swift will respond to Musk’s remark or if the NFL will weigh in on the matter. What is certain, however, is that the lines between entertainment sectors continue to blur, and public figures like Musk and Swift are at the forefront of this evolving narrative
