Meghan Markle, Kate Middleton invoke Princess Diana in battle for spotlight, royal experts say
Fox News
Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, and Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, are married to Princess Diana's two sons and have taken inspiration from Diana over the years.
Meanwhile, Kate Middleton has her own way of invoking the princess, usually through her wardrobe. Stephanie Nolasco covers entertainment at Foxnews.com.
Princess Diana, once called "Shy Di" for her quiet demeanor, transformed herself into a style icon during the ‘80s and ‘90s. Before her tragic death in 1997 at age 36, the "People’s Princess" made her mark with couture, which consisted of Chanel suits, Versace evening gowns and Dior handbags. As the most-photographed woman in the world, the royal proved to be influential in both her humanitarian work and personal style.
"Diana was a breath of fresh air for the royal family, shaking things up during their rather staid early 1980s and setting the new standard for charity work, going where no royal had dared go before, but she will always be remembered most for her fashion," Miranda Holder, royal fashion expert and celebrity stylist, told Fox News Digital. "The Princess brought a healthy dose of flair and drama to the royal wardrobe, placing the Monarchy firmly back on the style map for her fashion forward, often daring ensembles that had the world transfixed."
