Royal fans long obsessed over what Diana wore and they now do the same with her daughter-in-law.

Not that she needs the help, but the 40-year-old has often turned to Diana for style inspiration.

Or the red houndstooth jacket the two women donned decades apart?

Indeed, Kate is no stranger to paying homage to Diana with her look.

And fans are going gaga over the latest example of imitation being the highest form of flattery.

The widely-admired princess chose Diana’s South-Sea pearl earrings to complete her Royal Ascot look.

The lucky duchess has also donned Diana’s tiara as well as her pearl bracelet.

She recently debuted sapphire and diamond earrings that were also part of Diana’s envy-inducing collection (viaPeople).

With Kate also emulating Diana’s look head-to-toe, the effect was taken note of on Twitter.
