Meghan Markle stuns in Princess Diana's viral jumper in new video

Meghan Markle may have never met her late mother-in-law Princess Diana, yet the Duchess of Sussex seizes every opportunity to honor the beloved royal. 

In a new Instagram video, the 43-year-old Meghan is seen strolling through her Montecito garden in a purple Northwestern jumper—a style choice that mirrors the one the late princess famously wore in 1996.

The video captures Meghan looking effortlessly chic, smiling broadly as she takes a break from her busy schedule. “A small break from work to soak in the weekend sunshine,” she captioned her post, keeping the tone light and personal. 

In a heartwarming moment, one of her children can be heard saying, “Mommy, I can do it if you want me to.” Meghan then playfully shows either Prince Archie, five, or Princess Lilibet, three, how to water the garden with a hose.

The jumper holds a special significance; it was originally gifted to Princess Diana after her 1995 visit to the University of Northwestern’s Evanston campus, where she helped raise funds for the College’s Robert H. Lurie Cancer Center. 

This subtle nod to Diana not only pays homage to her timeless style but also reinforces Meghan’s ongoing commitment to celebrating the legacy of the late princess.

What other tributes has Meghan Markle made to Princess Diana?

Meghan frequently honours Diana’s memory through subtle style choices and public statements that celebrate her legacy. 

Earlier this month, during the Invictus Games in Vancouver, Meghan opted for a navy blue knitted jumper from La Ligne, paired with Veronica Beard flared jeans in Indigo and black Stuart Weitzman boots. However, the real standout piece was her Doen’s Duccio jacket in castle grey, which bore an uncanny resemblance to one of Princess Diana’s most iconic coats.
