Meghan Markle made a striking appearance at the TIME100 Summit in New York City. She wore an oversized tan silk-linen blazer with matching trousers and a white blouse. Her outfit was a clear homage to Princess Diana’s iconic style.
Meghan accessorized with a Cartier watch and a diamond tennis bracelet. Both pieces once belonged to Princess Diana. The ensemble was remarkably similar to an outfit Diana wore on August 21, 1997, just ten days before her tragic death.
Prince Harry accompanied Meghan to the event at the Lincoln Centre. During her conversation with TIME CEO Jessica Sibley, Meghan expressed her happiness.
Fashion homage to Princess Diana
“I am the happiest I’ve ever been,” she shared, to the applause of the audience. This is not the first time Meghan has paid tribute to Diana through fashion. In February, while preparing for the launch of her Netflix series “With Love, Meghan,” she wore a Northwestern University sweater.
Diana had famously donned a similar sweater in 1996 after visiting the university’s campus. Meghan, a Northwestern alumna herself, graduated in 2003 with a double major in theater and international studies. Her fashion choice highlighted a deeply personal connection to Diana’s legacy.
Reflecting on her current state of happiness, Meghan shared, “To have a partner and a husband who’s just so supportive and to have healthy kids that are so joyful in the freeness of their life and the safety of the life that we create for them – I never would have imagined getting here at this point. I feel just so happy and grateful, I really do.”
As Meghan continues her public appearances, she honors Princess Diana’s legacy while embracing her own unique approach to royal fashion. Her thoughtful choices showcase the deep familial connection she maintains through her wardrobe.
