The fact that dresses made by the British designer, who was born in Canada, were first handed to Kate would have gone down badly with the Sussexes.
Today, the princess wore her long dark brown locks pinned up in an elegant updo, revealing her late mother-in-law’s earrings, and opted for a touch of makeup for the outing.
Diana was seen wearing the earrings several times before her death in 1997, including when she attended the Met Gala in New York City in 1996 and while visiting Canada in 1991.
Now they’ve been passed down to Kate, who previously wore them in June when she attended Trooping the Color as part of the Queen’s birthday celebrations.
