On what would have been Princess Diana’s 64th birthday, something happened so quiet, yet so profoundly emotional, it’s shaking the internet to its core.
In a sunlit room, no cameras, no stage, just a piano and a microphone, Meghan Markle, dressed in Diana’s peaceful blue, delivered a promise never spoken aloud. She began to sing “Your Song”—the iconic Elton John ballad from Diana’s farewell.
In Montecito, Meghan Markle stood in a sunlit room, wearing a soft blue silk dress—the color so often worn by Diana when she sought peace. There was no stage, no cameras. Just a piano, a microphone, and a promise that had never been spoken aloud.
She began to sing “Your Song”—the Elton John classic that once bid farewell to Diana in 1997—but in her own way: slowed down, tender, like a whisper to the past. It wasn’t a replica. It was a reply. A memory reborn, reshaped by every word.
But this wasn’t a performance. It was a whisper to the past. Her unpolished, raw voice, full of longing, felt like a private conversation with the grandmother she never met, yet always felt. It wasn’t a tribute, it was a REPLY.
The navy netted hat
For her first Field of Remembrance event at London’s Westminster Abbey, The Duchess of Sussex seemingly drew inspiration from mother-in-law Princess Dianna. Sporting a very similar navy blue hat with navy blue netted detail as Diana did for the 1988 Armistice Service in Paris, the pair looked almost identical – especially as both paired their hats with matching navy blue coats and black leather gloves.
Princess Diana’s ring
Meghan proudly paid tribute to Diana on her wedding day, choosing to wear the Princess’ stunning emerald cut aquamarine ring to her evening reception at Frogmore House. The priceless jewel was likely to be a gift from Harry on their wedding day, and it looked absolutely beautiful paired with Meghan’s Stella McCartney halterneck gown.
Princess Diana’s butterfly earrings
On her first day of the Australasia autumn tour, Meghan paid a touching tribute to Diana by wearing her pretty butterfly earrings. Diana had donned them for her tour of Canada back in 1986. The earrings may well have been a gift from Harry on the news of his wife’s pregnancy. Meghan also accessorised with another piece of jewellery from the late Princess’ collection, wearing a gold bangle with blue stones.
A memory reborn.
This is the kind of profound connection we rarely see. And it’s not the first time Meghan has honored the People’s Princess. From her engagement ring, to her wedding bouquet (filled with Diana’s favorite forget-me-nots!), to subtle fashion nods and heartfelt words, Meghan has consistently kept Diana’s memory vibrantly alive.
