Meghan Markle channeled Princess Diana’s fashion prowess as she recreated her late mother-in-law’s iconic jacket ensemble upon her return to Los Angeles.
The Duchess of Sussex, 42, and Prince Harry, 39, returned to the United States on Monday after an 18-hour flight home from their three-day trip to Nigeria.
Mother-of-two Meghan wore a sophisticated ’90s-inspired outfit as she landed at Los Angeles International Airport, quickly typing on her phone as she walked.
The actress-turned-royal donned a khaki linen and wool blend blazer from Loro Piana, called Jamilla, which retails for around £2,900.
Under her jacket, the duchess wore a cashmere and silk blend sweater, the Takao Jumper, also by Loro Piana, which costs £990.
Meghan wore a sophisticated ’90s-inspired outfit when she landed at Los Angeles International Airport yesterday, similar to the one Princess Diana wore.
In the autumn of 1994, the late Princess of Wales was photographed shopping in Knightsbridge wearing a very similar outfit.
Meghan coordinated the ensemble with a pair of £815 Chris canvas and leather sneakers from Yves Saint Laurent in golden brown.
She then paired it with a pair of cropped, skinny white jeans, a style she has favored several times in the past.
But eagle-eyed royal fans may notice how similar the outfit is to the one Princess Diana wore while shopping in London.
In the autumn of 1994, the late Princess of Wales was photographed shopping in Knightsbridge wearing a smart white jacket and trousers.
She opted to wear a pair of oversized sunglasses, a cream turtleneck with a jade green jacket, and an ivory and brown back elegantly draped over her shoulder.
She paired it with a brown belt and white skinny jeans, along with shoes that look almost identical to the flats Meghan wears.
This isn’t the first time the Duchess has channeled her mother-in-law. During her tour of Nigeria, Meghan looked to her for inspiration when choosing her accessories.
Meghan wore chunky gold earrings from Lanvin, her AURate necklace and an array of dazzling bracelets, as well as her wedding rings.
Meghan Markle has apparently paid a subtle tribute to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, as she joined Prince Harry on a ‘three-day royal tour’ in Nigeria.
The jewelery resembled what Diana wore when she visited the country in 1990 with her then-husband Charles, just two years before they separated.

Meghan added a little more glamor by wearing Diana’s gold Cartier Tank Française watch.
Diana wore the £17,800 gold watch 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.
Meghan is known to be a fan of the stylish watch and splurged on her own two-tone version in 2015, when Suits was picked up for a third season.
Meghan has been given several items from Diana’s collection. They include Diana’s butterfly earrings and gold bracelet that she wore on her tour of Australia in 2018.
However, the watch is one of her favorites and she has been seen wearing it frequently. The watch had been given to Diana by her father when she turned 21.
On May 10, Meghan was seen wearing the AURate necklace with an elegant white suit.
Harry and Meghan were seen arriving in Los Angeles on Monday after a marathon 18-hour flight from Nigeria amid a dispute over the operational status of their charity in California.
The couple was photographed being taken in a car to the ‘Private Suites’ facility at Los Angeles International Airport.
The duke and duchess called the semi-royal tour “fantastic” and said it will be “the first of many memorable trips,” which included a moment when Meghan hailed Nigeria as “her country” after a test DNA suggested it was part of their country. Nigerian.
They landed back in the United States a few hours before California authorities confirmed that a “late payment” dispute involving their charitable initiative, the Archewell Foundation, had been resolved following a mix-up over an unprocessed check.
The charity, which raised around $9 million (£7.1 million) less in donations in 2022 than the previous year, was listed as “not in good standing” by the California Department of Justice due to alleged non-payment of a $200 renewal fee.
