Their fashion sense often correlates, too. Kate has regularly worn outfits that look very similar to Diana's, and let's not forget that she wears her precious engagement ring, given to her by Prince William

WATCH: The royals were at Wembley stadium

Sometimes, the mother-of-three sports looks that are almost identical to Prince Charles' former wife. On 29 June, Kate, Prince George and William headed to Wembley to watch England play Germany in the nail-biting Euro 2020 game.

Princess Diana also wore a red blazer at the rugby World Cup in 1991

Perhaps Kate looked through old photographs ahead of the match and took inspiration from her mother-in-law's impeccable style? After all, sporting events are moments in history.

This isn't the first time the royals' looks have paralleled recently. In May, Kate and William took part in the official tour of Scotland together. On a visit to a leading social care charity, Kate rocked a blue Zara blazer and a stunning blue pleated skirt by Hope, with nude heels and a nude bag. Amazingly, Diana wore an almost identical outfit in 1992. Uncanny!
