Meghan Markle honored late mother-in-law Princess Diana on a date night with Prince Harry in Canada.
The Duchess of Sussex wore Dianaâs diamond and sapphire earrings at a gala celebrating the 40th anniversary of David Fosterâs foundation on Friday, according to People.
Markle, 45, paired her special jewelry with a black dress by Canadian designer Greta Constantine.
Harry, meanwhile, looked dapper in a classic black tuxedo with a matching bow tie.
The couple joined Fosterâs wife, Katharine McPhee, Adam Levine, Josh Groban and others in attending the David Foster Foundation gala, which was followed by a free concert at the Victoria Inner Harbour on Saturday.
Foster, 76, is close friends with the Sussexes, having famously arranged their private Vancouver Island getaway in late 2019 before the couple quit their royal duties
But their bond actually stems from McPhee, 42, and Markle attending the same middle school in Los Angeles.
âShe went to a school called Immaculate Heart, as did I,â McPhee said in an âAccessâ interview in 2020. âShe went there for middle school and high school, and I went there just for middle school. My sister was in her class, my sister was in middle school with her, and I was in middle school when she was in high school, so I did a couple shows with her.â
The âAmerican Idolâ alum also said at the time that her husband âhas a really, really beautiful relationshipâ with Harry, comparing them to âfather and son.â
Over the years, Markle has paid homage to Dianaâs style, despite never meeting the late royal, who died in a car accident at the age of 36 in 1997.
During her and Harryâs 2024 trip to Nigeria, Markle wore a gold cross necklace that a source told Page Six belonged to Diana.
One year earlier, the âSuitsâ alum was seen wearing Dianaâs Cartier watch during a hike.
Markle also spoke about Diana on âThe Jamie Kern Lima Showâ in April, when the host read a quote from Harry â who was 12 when Diana died â about how his wife and mom are âso similar.â
âShe has the same compassion. She has the same empathy. She has the same confidence. She has this warmth about her,â Lima said, quoting Harry, before she asked Markle, âHow do you feel about him sharing that?â
âItâs beautiful,â Meghan replied. âI wish I could have met her.â
