When the Princess of Wales parted ways with long-time aide Natasha Archer, royal watchers were primed for a change of style, the Daily Mail<\/a> writes.<\/p>\n

Not just in the management of her diary – but her wardrobe. Archer, 38, was Kate’s senior private executive assistant between 2010 and last year.<\/p>\n

She became a trusted confidante and, while her role as Kate’s ‘stylist’ was never confirmed, unofficially she very much had a hand in shaping her clothing choices.<\/p>\n

Fashion commentators often described the two women as going on a ‘style journey’ together, with Archer’s own fondness for neat shift dresses, Breton shirts and pussy bow blouses frequently finding echoes in the Princess’s wardrobe.<\/p>\n

Since Archer left, however, a new and more distant echo has emerged.<\/p>\n

Fashion observers have noticed that Kate has been taking style cues from the former Princess of Wales.<\/p>\n

Diana transformed royal fashion, blending elegance with accessibility, even if she didn’t reach for high street labels as frequently as Kate. She popularized power dressing, sleek tailoring and bold eveningwear, influencing designers and fans across the globe.<\/p>\n

So frequently has Kate paid tribute to Diana’s style in recent months that it’s unlikely to be coincidence.<\/p>\n
