Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, has paid tribute to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, in a variety of ways during her three-year marriage to Prince Harry. Her most recent nod to the Princess of Wales, however, had to be the sweetest yet. Meghan’s accessory honored the late princess without saying anything during a whirlwind tour of New York City, where Meghan and Harry attended the Global Citizen Live event.
Meghan Markle has paid tribute to Princess Diana on numerous occasions.
Meghan began paying tribute to the late Princess of Wales when Prince Harry presented her with an engagement ring. Harry’s mother once owned the center diamond. Diana’s favorite flower, Forget-Me-Nots, were included in her wedding bouquet. Meghan arrived at her reception wearing an Aquamarine ring, a gift from Prince Harry’s mother’s collection.
Other nods were more subdued. For her first mother’s day, Markle shared a photo of her first child, son Archie’s feet. Markle paid tribute to “lost but forever remembered” mothers in the caption. In another instance, Markle attended a Commonwealth Day service wearing an Amanda Wakely coat and a Stephen Jones hat. Princess Diana’s favorite designers were both of them.
How did Markle’s stylish accessory pay homage to Diana?
According to Us Weekly, Markle was seen carrying a Dior handbag. She wore this as part of her ensemble for the Global Citizen Live event.
The black Dior Lady D-Lite Bag in Markle’s hand was a special edition of the Dior Lady D-Lite Bag. On one side of the Duchess of Sussex’s bag is engraved “DSSOS.”
Markle’s late mother-in-law inspired the handbag design.
What is the significance of Princess Diana’s name on the chic purse?
According to Us Weekly, the purse’s original name was quite different.
The Chouchou was its original name.
According to the Financial Times, Diana was given the accessory by France’s first lady in 1994.
Diana reportedly adored the quilted pattern and boxy style of the bag. In 1996, Dior named the bag after Princess Diana of Wales. It quickly became a part of her personal style.
The Dior Lady D-Lite Bag costs $4,800 right now.
