KATE’S TRIBUTE TO DIANA AT ARCHIE’S CHRISTENING: The former Kate Middleton regularly channels her mother-in-law's impeccable style. So it's totally unsurprising that she selected the most apt jewelry to wear at Archie’s christening, in order to honor the baby's late grandmother, Princess Diana.

The Duchess of Cambridge wore a beautiful Stella McCartney dress to the christening at Windsor Castle, which she accessorized with a Juliette Botterill headband and a pair of Emmy London red pumps. And, most notably, Kate wore a pair of pearl earrings which belonged to Princess Diana.

With so many incredible earrings in her arsenal, Duchess Kate's choice of jewelry at Archie's christening was completely inspired. Not only did the Duchess channel her late mother-in-law, but she attended the occasion wearing the exact same pair of earrings that Princess Diana wore to Prince Harry's christening.

WHY THE QUEEN WEARS BRIGHT COLORS: In the documentary The Queen at 90, Sophie, Countess of Wessex explained her mother-in-law's penchant for rainbow shades. "She needs to stand out for people to be able to say 'I saw the Queen,'" she said.

"Don't forget that when she turns up somewhere, the crowds are two, three, four, 10-15 deep, and someone wants to be able to say they saw a bit of the Queen's hat as she went past.”

Robert Hardman, the Queen's biographer, even quoted her once as saying, “I can never wear beige because nobody will know who I am.”

It’s something her granddaughter-in-law Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge has already started to mimic. On the royal tour of Canada in 2016, for example, Kate was spotted wearing bright red several times because she wanted the crowds to be able to see her.

But Meghan Markle has yet to learn to learn this style tactic. At each of her royal events in the month following her May 19th wedding, Meghan chose to wear a neutral, or pastel outfit. A white ensemble at ascot, a blush look at Trooping the Colour, and a beige Givenchy dress on her day of events with the Queen.

Perhaps in that last appearance, she was indicating that this was the Queen's day, and she was only there to support her; but Meghan would be wise to learn from her grandmother-in-law. Enthusiasm for the newly named Duchess of Sussex is high, and the crowds that come to see her at appearances are most certainly trying to get a once-in-a-lifetime look at the most recent addition to the royal family.
