Meghan Markle appeared to be channeling Princess Diana in Edinburgh today as she chose a tartan coat for the visit.
The royal bride-to-be, 36, looked chic in the £1,995 Burberry coat, while giving a nod to Scotland with the tartan fabric.
Her choice of navy and green check also bears a striking similarity to a dress worn by the Princess of Wales while attending the Highland Games in Bute in 1987.
Diana, who was 26 at the time, wore a tartan wool dress by Bellville Sassoon, which featured a lace collar and sleeves, along with a pleated skirt.

The Duchess of Cambridge has also previously sported tartan in the past, wearing an Alexander McQueen coat dress to mark St Andrew’s Day back in 2012.
Commenting on Meghan’s choice of tartan stylist Lucas Armitage told the MailOnline: ‘Tartan is synonymous with Scottish culture and it’s not just Meghan who has thought about giving a nod to all thing tartan, princess Diana before her also created a bold look utilising the traditional fabric.
‘Diana’s style was closely watched and noted for not always being traditional for a royal so perhaps Meghan has taken inspiration for her own choices.’
Meghan appears to be following in the footsteps of Kate, 36, in mastering the art of diplomatic dressing in choosing a tartan coat for her visit to Edinburgh with Prince Harry today.
However, unlike the tailored coats often worn by the Duchess, the former Suits actress chose an unstructured, androgynous design – adding her own ‘cool edges’ to her ensembles.
Celebrity stylist and designer Lucas Armitage told FEMAIL: ‘Overall it’s a chic look but with a few cool edges.

‘The tartan gives some added interest to an extremely polished appearance. She’s being appropriate but definitely retaining her own look.’
Meghan also gave another subtle nod to Scotland by choosing a cross-body bag by Scottish brand Strathberry.
The £425 bottle green bag sold out within 11 minutes of Meghan and Harry arriving in Edinburgh.
She finished off her stylish look with a pair of Veronica Beard flares and a pair of black heels.

Today is not the first time that Meghan has sported a checked print, appearing to give a nod to her father-in-law to be by choosing a Prince of Wales check for her visit to Cardiff last month.
Diana was photographed wearing tartan on a number of occasions, including on official engagements to Scotland.
Following her death in 1997, Lochcarron of Scotland created a bespoke blue and pink tartan in memory of Diana.
