Diana wore her version – a mid-length coat – on a number of occasions, including a visit to the charity Barnardos in 1984.
On at least two occasions she wore the piece over a white collared shirt and a sort of tie — either a bowtie or a black ribbon.

Diana wore her version – a mid-length coat – on a number of occasions, often wearing it over a crisp white shirt and black tie.
Although Kate is known for recycling her looks, the £625 blazer from Canadian brand Smythe she wore yesterday is believed to be a new purchase.
It is not the first time Kate has drawn comparisons to Diana with her wardrobe choices.
