The sweet way Kate pays tribute to Princess Diana revealed – 'The epitome of elegance'

it has been revealed that the ever-stylish Duchess, always ensures that she keeps her handbag in her left hand, after she learned the technique from her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana. Etiquette expert Myka Meier revealed on Instagram that Diana would do this, so she was able to have her right hand free when greeting people.

Alongside pictures of Princess Diana carrying her bag in her left hand, Ms Meier wrote: “Royal Etiquette Hack: When entering a room or event, handbags or briefcases are held in the LEFT hand so that your right-hand stays open to meet, greet and shake hands! Prince Charles does this too!”

Social media users gushed over the heartbreaking revelation in their droves.

One said: “Solid advice.”

Another replied: “That is adorable!”

A third commented: “Kate is the epitome of elegance and class.”

And this is not the only thing Catherine has seemingly picked up from Princess Diana’s royal life.

Another royal expert has also previously pointed out that Catherine’s approach to motherhood is similar to how Diana raised William and Harry.

Royal commentator Neil Sean said on Australia’s Today Show, “If you remember, when Princess Diana was with us, what she did was very clever. She sort of made sure that William and Harry had normal lives if you like.

Mr Bentley struck up a conversation with Kate before taking her hand and placing a delicate kiss on the back of it.

As she bent down to chat with him the Duchess said: “I hope you’re keeping warm enough. You’ve wrapped up well? It’s that chilly wind.

“Thank you for coming to say hello to us. Very nice to meet you. I’ll get William to come and say hello.”

After the royal encounter, Mr Bentley had nothing but praise for Kate and her husband Prince William.

“They are the nicest people you could meet,” said Mr Bentley, a retired motor mechanic.

It is traditional for members of the public to curtsy or bow when appropriate and shaking hands is also acceptable.

However, Kate and William are known to be down to earth and engage informally when they are on public outings.
