Given how iconic the style became for the late royal, it is, perhaps, little surprise that both of Diana’s daughters-in-law have similar pieces in their own wardrobes. On a visit to Essex in 2018, the then Duchess of Cambridge debuted a black-and-white tweed Smythe blazer with a velvet collar, which she teamed, like Meghan, with a low-key outfit of jeans and a jumper.
The Duchess of Sussex seemed in high spirits at the TIME100 summit, telling the crowd: ‘A confession for you today that I can very comfortably say is I’m the happiest I’ve ever been.’
Meghan elaborated, explaining that her joy was all down to the family she and Prince Harry are raising in Montecito. ‘[T]o 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…’ she added, before her voice broke off.
‘Of all the things that have happened in my life, I never would have imagined getting here at this point. I feel just so happy and grateful, I really do.’
