Meghan Markle Pays Emotional Homage to Princess Diana on a Chic Date Night with Prince Harry

In a touching tribute to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, graced a gala event in Canada wearing Diana's iconic diamond and sapphire earrings. The dazzling accessories added an extra dose of royal glamour to Markle's sleek black dress by Canadian designer Greta Constantine. Accompanied by her husband, Prince Harry, who donned a classic tuxedo for the occasion, the couple attended the 40th anniversary celebration of David Foster's foundation on Friday night. The event was followed by a star-studded free concert at Victoria Inner Harbour the following day, where they mingled with celebrities like Adam Levine and Josh Groban. David Foster, the renowned music producer, has been a close friend of the Sussexes for quite some time now. Their friendship can be traced back to Foster's wife, Katharine McPhee, who shares a middle school alma mater with Meghan Markle - Immaculate Heart in Los Angeles. Speaking about their relationship, McPhee revealed during an "Access" interview in 2020 that Harry and her husband share a special bond, reminiscent of a father-son duo. The "American Idol" alum also mentioned that Harry and Meghan have a lot in common, with both women being compassionate, empathetic, confident, and warm. Over the years, Meghan Markle has shown her admiration for Princess Diana's style, despite never having met the beloved royal who tragically passed away in 1997. During their 2024 visit to Nigeria, Markle was spotted wearing a gold cross necklace believed to have belonged to Diana. A year earlier, she was seen donning Diana's Cartier watch during a hike. More recently, during an appearance on "The Jamie Kern Lima Show" in April, Meghan spoke about the similarities between herself and her late mother-in-law, as highlighted by Harry. According to Markle, she wishes she could have met Diana in person. By clicking here, you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
