The Duke and Duchess of Sussex may have returned to Los Angeles after their New York trip, but we're still pouring over every little detail of their trip, and of course that includes their wardrobes.

Sharp tailoring and colour-coordinating aside, the pair made sure to add special touches to their outfits.

And it turns out the Duchess also paid tribute to Princess Diana, but you may have missed it. The moment happened when the pair arrived at Saturday’s Global Citizen Live event, where they would go on to urge global governments to make the vaccine accessible to all.

They were papped on their way in, and Meghan was seen carrying a Lady Dior bag, which was named after the late royal as she loved it so much and carried it everywhere.

MINI LADY DIOR BAG, £3,050 at DIOR
The Lady Dior handbag epitomizes the House's vision of elegance and beauty. Sleek and refined, the timeless yet relevant style is crafted in black lambskin with Cannage stitching, creating the instantly recognizable quilted texture. The pale gold-finish metal 'D.I.O.R.' charms embellish and illuminate its silhouette. The miniature Lady Dior bag features a removable chain shoulder strap that allows it to be carried by hand, worn over the shoulder or crossbody as an ideal evening companion.

It was first given to her in September 1995 by France’s First Lady, Bernadette Chirac, on the occasion of her visit to the Cézanne exhibition at the Grand Palais in Paris, sponsored by the LVMH group.

She loved it so much she ordered it in several colours, and was photographed carrying it around the world in the subsequent year. So much so, that Dior decided to rename it 'Lady Dior', with her blessing of course.

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.
