Meghan Markle channeled the fashion prowess of Princess Diana as she recreated her late mother-in-law's iconic blazer ensemble upon her return to Los Angeles. 

The Duchess of Sussex, 42, and Prince Harry, 39, arrived back in the US on Monday after an 18-hour flight home from their three-day trip to Nigeria.

Mother-of-two Meghan sported a sophisticated, 90s-inspired outfit as she landed at Los Angeles International Airport, typing quickly on her phone as she walked.

The actress-turned-royal donned a khaki linen and wool mix blazer from Loro Piana, called the Jamilla, which retails for around £2,900.

Underneath her jacket, the Duchess wore a cashmere and silk mix sweater - the Takao Jumper - also from Loro Piana, which costs £990.

In the autumn of 1994, the late Princess of Wales was snapped shopping in Knightsbridge sporting a very similar ensemble

Meghan co-ordinated the ensemble with a pair of £815 Chris canvas and leather slippers from Yves Saint Laurent in the gold brown colour way.

She then tied it the ensemble together with pair of fitted, cropped white jeans - a style she has favoured multiple times in the past. 

But eagle-eyed royal fans may notice how similar the outfit is to one famously worn by Princess Diana while out shopping in London.

In the autumn of 1994, the late Princess of Wales was snapped shopping in Knightsbridge sporting a chic blazer and white trousers. 

She opted to wear a pair of oversized sunglasses, a cream turtleneck with a jade green blazer and an ivory and brown back elegantly slung over her shoulder.

She paired this with a brown belt and some white skinny jeans, along with shoes that look almost identical to the flats worn by Meghan. 

This isn't the first time the Duchess has channeled her mother-in-law. During the tour in Nigeria, Meghan looked to her for inspiration when choosing her accessories. 

Meghan sported chunky gold earrings from Lanvin, her AURate collar necklace and an array of dazzling bracelets, as well as her wedding rings. 

Meghan Markle has seemingly paid a subtle tribute to her late mother-in-law Princess Diana as she joined Prince Harry on a 'three-day royal tour' in Nigeria 

The jewels resembled those worn by Diana when she visited the country in 1990 with her then-husband Charles, just two years before they separated

The jewels resembled those worn by Diana when she visited Nigeria herself with her then-husband Charles, just two years before they separated. 

Meghan added a bit more glamour by wearing Diana's gold Cartier Tank Française watch. 

The gold £17,800 watch was worn by Diana at a number of occasions, including a 1997 visit to London's Shri Swaminarayan Mandir Hindu Temple and an engagement at the British Lung Foundation that same year.

Meghan is known to be a fan of the elegant timepiece and splurged on her own two-tone version back in 2015 when Suits was picked up for a third season.

Meghan has been gifted several items from Diana's collection. They include Diana's butterfly earrings and gold bracelet which she wore on their Australian tour in 2018.

Yet the watch is a favourite and she has been spotted wearing it often. The watch had been gifted to Diana by her father on her 21st birthday.

On May 10, Meghan was spotted wearing the AURate collar necklace with a chic white suit 

Harry and Meghan were spotted arriving in Los Angeles on Monday after a marathon 18-hour flight from Nigeria amid a row over their charity's operating status in California.

The couple, were pictured being whisked away by a car at Los Angeles International Airport's 'Private Suites' facility.

The Duke and Duchess have called the semi-royal tour 'fantastic' and said it will be the 'first of many memorable trips' - which included a moment where Meghan hailed Nigeria as 'her country' after a DNA test suggested she was part-Nigerian.

They landed back in the United States a few hours before Californian authorities confirmed a 'delinquency' row involving their charitable endeavour, the Archewell Foundation, had been resolved following confusion over an unprocessed cheque.

California's Department of Justice listed the charity, which brought in around $9million (£7.1million) less in donations in 2022 than it did the year before, as 'not in good standing' because of an alleged failure to pay a $200 renewal fee.
