Duchess Kate’s touching tribute to Princess Diana in beautiful outfit

Although it’s been nearly 22 years since Princess Diana’s passing, her sons and daughters-in-law are doing everything they can to make sure her legacy lives on.

When the Duchess of Cambridge visited Bletchley Park on Tuesday, she turned heads in her £1,750 ($3,425 NZD) blue and white polka dot dress that was designed by Alessandra Rich.

However, what slipped under the radar was that the Duchess’ dress was a very close resemblance to a dress that was worn by Princess Diana in 1985. She wore the outfit for a photo shoot at Kensington Palace.

Naturally, eagle eyed royal fans spotted the similarities and were thrilled with the tribute.

“Diana and Kate in almost the same dress,” one fan account mentioned.

“Diana and Kate in almost the same dress. Good taste goes never out of style!”

“I absolutely love all the ‘subtle’ tributes to Princess Diana,” another said. “She was beautiful, kind and loved by many.”

“Kate is all class… just like Diana!” one other added.

Diana wore the dress nearly 34 years ago, and the dress that is worn by the Duchess of Cambridge is clearly a favourite of hers as she wore the same style for Prince Charles’ official 70th birthday portraits last year.
