Kapanlagi.com - Meghan Markle is once again the center of attention on social media after sharing a photo of herself wearing a purple t-shirt from Northwestern University. The post initially seemed like an ordinary casual moment, but soon sparked debate due to its resemblance to an outfit worn by the late Princess Diana.
Many fashion observers and netizens quickly realized that the t-shirt Meghan wore was almost identical to the one worn by Princess Diana in 1996. This prompted various reactions, with some accusing Meghan of trying to imitate her mother-in-law, while others believe that the choice of clothing was merely a coincidence.
Additionally, this controversy arises amid the promotion of Meghan's latest show on Netflix, WITH LOVE, MEGHAN, which is set to premiere on March 4. This adds to speculation that the appearance could be part of a strategy to remain in the public eye.
1. Meghan Markle's Relaxed Look That Became the Spotlight
In a video shared on Instagram Story, Meghan is seen casually walking in the garden of her home in Montecito, California. She is wearing a purple shirt with the text Northwestern Wildcats.
This shirt is sold at Nordstrom for about 63.91 euros, and features a casual design that Meghan often wears on various occasions. However, it didn't take long for netizens to connect her look with that of Lady Diana or Princess Diana.
2. Resemblance to Princess Diana's Shirt from the 90s
In the 90s, Princess Diana was often seen wearing oversized sports shirts paired with leggings and sneakers. This style became her trademark, especially after her divorce from Prince Charles.
The shirt worn by Meghan bears a striking resemblance to one of the outfits worn by Diana in 1996. This quickly sparked discussions on social media, where many people began comparing the two looks.
3. Coincidence or Effort to Imitate Diana?

Since the beginning of her relationship with Prince Harry, Meghan has often been compared to Princess Diana. Some observers have noted that not only her fashion style but also Meghan's gestures and poses often resemble those of her mother-in-law.
However, Meghan's fans dismiss the notion that she is intentionally imitating Diana. They argue that Meghan is simply wearing a shirt that holds sentimental value as it is part of her alma mater at Northwestern University.
4. Is This Shirt an Heirloom from Lady Diana?
Speculation has also arisen that Meghan may have inherited this shirt as part of Diana's personal collection. As is known, some of Princess Diana's jewelry has indeed been passed down to the wives of her sons, including Meghan's engagement ring.
However, this claim was quickly refuted. The shirt worn by Meghan is a modern version with slightly different fabric and design. Additionally, this item is still available for sale on the market, making it unlikely to be an original heirloom from Princess Diana.
