The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, recently shared a glimpse into her family's European summer vacation on Instagram, showcasing a holiday wardrobe that has drawn comparisons to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana. The Sussex family, including Prince Harry and their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, visited Portugal and Althorp, Princess Diana's ancestral home.
During their time in Portugal, Meghan was seen in a backless black swimsuit, a style also favored by Diana. She complemented her beach look with Saucony Women's Cohesion 18 Sneakers. In another instance, the Duchess wore an 80s-inspired Heidi Merrick Finny Cardigan, which royal fans noted echoed Diana's preference for knitted V-neck styles.
Meghan accessorized with several pieces of jewelry, including Princess Diana's Cartier Tank Française watch and a Cartier Love bracelet. She also wore her Virgo and Leo Constellation Rings. While browsing a Portuguese homeware store, she donned a white shirt paired with rattan accessories, including a Sarah Bray Wildflower Sun Hat and a matching bag.
The children's fashion also featured in the post. Princess Lilibet wore a floral-print mini dress from DÔEN, while Prince Archie was seen in an England FIFA World Cup 2026 T-shirt from Zara during a pilot lesson. 
The family visited Althorp, where Prince Harry, Archie, and Lilibet laid flowers at Princess Diana's grave and memorial. According to reports, the trip provided an opportunity for Archie and Lilibet to spend time at a place closely connected to their late grandmother, who died in 1997.
Prior to their visit to England, the Sussexes spent time in Portugal, with images shared showing them on beaches, by a pool, and at a local fish restaurant. The Instagram post also included a landscape that may be Loch Glascarnoch in Scotland, suggesting a possible visit to the Highlands. The vacation occurred before Prince Harry's trip to Britain for the Invictus Games in Birmingham.
Following their European travels, the family had a private meeting with King Charles and Queen Camilla at Highgrove, the King's private estate in Gloucestershire. This visit marked the first time the King had seen his daughter-in-law and grandchildren since 2022. The meeting lasted over an hour, with the King and Queen reportedly spending time with the family at the estate where Prince Harry spent much of his childhood.
