Meghan Markle paid tribute to her groom’s mother on their wedding day by carrying forget-me-nots. Now, are her fashion choices being inspired by the late Diana as well?
Meghan Markle, 36, wore a gorgeous blue and white Oscar de la Renta dress on June 16. She attended the wedding of Prince Harry’s cousin Celia McCorquodale, as she exchanged vows with George Woodhouse. Celia was Princess Diana‘s niece and actually wore the Spencer Tiara, which Diana also wore on her wedding day. Perhaps Meghan was paying homage to Diana as well. Her dress reminded us of an outfit that Lady Di wore way back in 1986.
Diana wore the blue and white printed tunic over white pants while visiting Saudi Arabia. She paired the look with white shoes, which Meghan also did. Meghan’s shoes were actually bespoke AQUAZZURA shoes, which some are speculating were her exact wedding shoes! They were super high and Meghan actually almost took a tumble while walking down a steep hill to the church, but luckily, Harry was there to save her!

Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton has paid homage to Princess Diana on numerous occasions, from her clothing to her haircuts. Most recently, Kate wore a red and white dress while leaving the hospital after the birth of her third child. Diana wore a similar red and white look while leaving the hospital with Harry in 1984. And of course, every day, she wears Princess Diana’s diamond and sapphire engagement ring.

‘Failure’ of Brexit dampens EU ‘success’
By Aubrey Allegretti, political reporter
Brexit is a “failure” of the European Union and has “opened its eyes to reform”, one of Brussels’ top politicians has admitted.
Guy Verhofstadt, the European Parliament’s Brexit coordinator, said Britain’s decision to quit the bloc made it “difficult” to call the project a “success”.
“I still look to the Brexit decision as a failure of the EU,” he told an influential committee of MPs in Westminster on Wednesday.
“Because if an important country like the UK is breaking away from the EU it’s difficult to say ‘oh it’s a success, fantastic’.
“I don’t look at the outcome of the referendum in that way – I think it’s a failure.”

But Mr Verhofstadt, who leads the liberal bloc of MEPs, insisted Brexit had sparked more debate about reforming the EU than “ever before”.
“What we have seen in the continent – if I may say so – is that after Brexit, the European project regained popularity.
“In the sense of ‘OK – maybe there are a lot of things that don’t work very well in the EU, but to break away, maybe that’s not the right solution’.
“So in that sense, since Brexit there have been more debate on reform of the EU than we ever got before. That’s caused by Brexit.
“But I still find the fact that Britain is s going out of the EU a bad thing for Europe, for Britain and I think for everybody.”

His comments come amid major disruption in Brussels following the election of a populist government in Italy and open criticism of the EU’s response to the migration crisis from Hungary.
Mr Verhofstadt also said there had to be a Brexit deal in place by the end of the year if MEPs are to vote on it before the expected departure date – 29 March 2019.
The European Parliament must approve the agreement for it to pass.
Prime Minister Theresa May’s preferred “customs partnership” idea was rejected by Mr Verhofstadt, and he added he was “sceptical” about the “MaxFac” scheme.
MPs are set for a showdown later on Wednesday, as Mrs May aims to defeat her rebel backbenchers’ bid to have the final say on whatever deal is agreed.
Several Labour Brexiteers are expected to vote with the government.

On Tuesday, Brexit Secretary David Davis posted a picture of himself with Mr Verhofstadt on Twitter.
“Pleased to see Guy Verhofstadt in London this evening – we discussed the good progress that has been made since March and our shared, ongoing commitment to getting a deal that works for both the UK and the EU,” he wrote.
