If you experienced a royal déjà vu when Kate Middleton and Prince William stepped out at the Lindo Wing, there’s a reason. Kate channelled her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana while debuting her second son to the world (as seen above). Kate wore a similar dress as Princess Diana had when she debuted Prince Harry to the world. The red dress with the Peter Pan collar has now gone viral and we can’t help but love how the Duchess paid tribute to the Princess. But this isn’t the first time that Kate channelled Diana vibes. Not sure what we’re talking about? Take a look…

Diana and Charles announced their engagement in February 1981 where Diana was seen wearing a blue trench dress. Kate and William announced their engagement in November 2010 and for the occasion, Kate too donned a classy navy blue dress styled with black court shoes. The two, in their blues, looked gorgeous. We love how Kate paid a sartorial homage to Diana with this chic dress.

Diana and Charles presented Prince William to the world in 1982 when Diana had worn a dress with white polka-dots all-over. Kate too, when she debuted her first-born, Prince George on the day after his birth back in 2013 chose to go with a polka-dotted dress but in baby-blue. We bet Diana would have found this tribute to be rather touching, don’t you think?

Princess Diana attended her first public event with Prince Charles at London's Goldsmith's Hall, in 1981 wearing a gorgeous black strapless gown featuring a long train. Kate too chose a black strapless gown to make her appearance with Prince William back in 2011 at the Sun Military Awards. However, we can’t help but notice that Kate chose the rich texture of velvet to stun in.

Diana was spotted in Victor Edelstein, as she awarded a prize to Prince Charles' polo manager in 1987. The white dress with black polka-dots kept the Princess looking as chic as ever. Kate, on the other hand, worked a very similar dress, if not the same one at Bletchley Park wearing Alexander McQueen back in 2014. While Princess Diana accessorised her look with a string of pearls, Kate kept it looking sharp and smart with a black blazer.

Diana was seen working the military-chic shirt and skirt by Catherine Walker for a passing out parade in Surrey in 1987 and while Diana chose to go with white for her look, Kate chose to go with the classic, navy blue and white colour combo. Visiting Bletchley Park wearing Alexander McQueen back in 2014, Kate was seen working a navy blue skirt styled with a military-chic shirt. Whose look do you prefer?

Diana, at the Remembrance Sunday Ceremony in London in 1991 was seen working a black coat styled with a black turtle-neck dress. She went with a black hat and a patent black waist-belt to complete her look with. Kate, on the hand, was seen wearing a similar look at the Remembrance Sunday Ceremony in London, 2016 comprising of a black coat and a hat. Sporting scarlet poppies on the lapels, just like Diana had, she completed her look.

Diana wore a gorgeous neutral blue Catherine Walker gown to the Cannes Film Festival in 1987. She styled it with a matching drape wrapped around her neck. Kate wore a similar light-hued gown to the BAFTA event in Los Angeles in 2011 but worked a lighter than light lilac Marchesa gown. Both the red carpet looks oozed of elegance and we can’t make up our minds as to whose red carpet look we liked better. Can you?

While Princess Diana was seen working a red coat styled with a black turtle-neck dress and a hat adorned with net and a bow on Christmas Day back in 1993, Kate chose to work a similar look as she attended the Sovereign's Parade At The Royal Military Academy in Berkshire in 2006. Kate too opted for a chic black hat and a red coat styled over a lacy black dress for the event. Black and red is a classic combination and here are two royals to take cue from to work it!
Kate Middleton proves that Princess Diana's style transcends time…
