At baby Archie's christening this weekend, Meghan and Harry made sure they paid tribute to Princess Diana in small ways. For example, they posed on the same sofa where Diana and Charles sat with baby Harry at his christening back in 1984.

They also invited the late Princess' sisters to the intimate ceremony, which also included Charles and Camilla, as well as William and Kate.

And speaking of Kate, she too subtly nodded to her late mother-in-law on the special day, via her outfit.

She stood out in the family portrait in a pink Stella McCartney dress, which she accessorised with a headband in the same hue.

But her earrings were even more special, because they used to belong to Princess Diana. The pearl drop earrings, dubbed the Collingwood pearl earrings as they were given by the jeweller to the Princess as a wedding present, were one of her favourite pairs.

In fact, she even wore them to Prince Harry's christening, which just ties everything in quite nicely, doesn't it?

So thoughtful.

Penny grew up in France and studied languages and law at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris before moving to the UK for her MA in multimedia journalism at Bournemouth University. She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).

Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.

However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.

Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
