Meghan Markle’s Nostalgic Nod to Princess Diana in Cozy Weekend Look
Over the weekend, Meghan Markle took a stroll down memory lane—and all she needed was a purple Northwestern University sweater to do it! The Duchess of Sussex shared a heartwarming snapshot on Instagram flaunting the same college crewneck once worn by her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana.
Diana, who tragically passed away in 1997, sported the iconic pullover during a visit to Northwestern back in June 1996, a few years before Meghan even knew Prince Harry. Talk about destiny! Meghan, a proud alumna of the university from 1999 to 2003, has always had a soft spot for her alma mater. This little throwback moment didn’t just showcase a stylish nostalgia but also reflected her deep connection to Diana’s legacy.
The sweetness continued as the photos not only featured Meghan watering her garden—but also a glimpse of one of her little ones lending a hand (literally). With two adorable kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, things clearly never get dull, even when she’s just chilling in the sun. Between watering her plants and lounging in the backyard, Meghan reminded us all that she can balance being a royal, a mom, and an entrepreneur in style.
And speaking of entrepreneurship, she’s gearing up for the launch of her new Netflix show, *With Love, Meghan*, dropping March 4th, along with her lifestyle brand, As Ever. With reports hinting that the show will dive into everything from cooking to gardening (which Meghan inherently loves), it’s clear she’s using her platform to share her creative passions. Actress Mindy Kaling has even dropped hints that Meghan schooled her on how to throw the perfect kid’s party—with proper lamp lighting, of course!
Not to be overlooked, Meghan has also been spotlighting her family’s newest addition—a rescue beagle named Mamma Mia—following the passing of her first beagle, Guy. In a touching tribute, she shared her gratitude, proving once more that her heart is as expansive as her wardrobe. So whether she’s channeling Diana or watering the garden, Meghan Markle keeps reminding us that she’s a stylish blend of royal tribute and modern mom life.
