Catherine, Princess of Wales, was seen in a pastel blue Catherine Walker gown, which strikingly resembled an outfit Diana wore for an Easter observance in 1987. Royal fans on social media quickly spotted the similarity, noting both outfits had the same pale blue colour and white piping details. This decision was reportedly made four and a half decades following Princess Diana's inaugural attendance at the Trooping the Colour event, according to social media commentators.
