Comparisons have long been made between them, but as the Duchess of Cambridg e dazzled in

her late mother-in-law�s tiara she was firmly crowned her successor as our Queen of Hearts.

Kate paid touching tribute to Diana when she chose to wear the princess�s favourite headpiece

to the Queen�s annual Diplomatic Reception at Buckingham Palace this week.

The gorgeous diamond and pearl Cambridge Lover�s Knot tiara was given by the Queen to the Princess

of Wales as a wedding present in 1981.

Diana wore it for the first time at the state opening of parliament that November.

Kate adopted a more business-like look, with a skirt suit and a shorter haircut at the

23rd ICAP annual Charity Day in the City of London where one burly trader met her while

wearing stilettos and hotpants in the fancy-dress fundraiser.

But since before she even slipped on Diana�s famous sapphire-and-diamond engagement ring,

Kate�s fashion choices have often mirrored those of husband Prince William�s beloved

late mum.

Surely our modern royal couple couldn�t have been unaware of the similarity between

Kate�s royal blue engagement dress and Diana�s own in 1981?

Or the polka dots both women wore to present their newborn sons on the same hospital steps?

Those close to the Duchess have noted their strikingly similar personalities and manners,

too.

Just like Diana, Kate has the easy smile, the genuine warmth, the unself-conscious charm

and ability to reach out to the public which, until recently, had always seemed to elude

our royal family.

Diana ignored royal protocol, taking sick children and Aids victims alike into her embrace.

Kate also truly seems to care.

She wrote a letter of comfort to young leukaemia sufferer Fabian Bates, who she met on a visit

to the Royal Marsden hospital in Chelsea, west London.

It was a personal touch worthy of the People�s Princess.

Kate also seems to share Diana�s zest for life.

When she cheered and grimaced watching Andy Murray crash out of Wimbledon last year it

brought to mind Diana singing along to Freddie Mercury at Live Aid or giggling while dancing

with John Travolta.
