Meghan Markle shares an almost extinct hobby with Princess Diana! Read here

There is a saying -- like father, like son! However, in Meghan Markle's case, it is -- like mother-in-law, like daughter-in-law!

Meghan shares a nostalgic hobby with her late mother-in-law Princess Diana and it is about handwritten letters. Diana used to love writing letters and over the years many of them have popped up and some have even made it to auctions.

It looks like Meghan also shares the same interest. It was revealed on her now-inactive lifestyle blog, The Tig, that the Duchess is passionate about writing letters and loved sending them to family and friends.

A report on The Mirror quoted a few lines from the blog. It reads, "Amongst the throwback things that I love (a '62 porsche speedster à la Dylan McKay in 90210, a bevy of Vargas girls, a Busby Berkeley film, or cooking over a charcoal grill), what trumps all is my love of writing (and receiving) a handwritten note."

Meghan also recollected how much she enjoyed reading and writing letters. "I absolutely relish it. I know my mailman's name, I race to the door when the mail comes (usually just fliers or bills), but I always hold out hope there will be a letter. A sweet letter. And that I will have the tactile experience of un-creasing the paper, reciting the words, and holding someone's thoughts in my hands."

Ever since the blog popped up, fans were quick to compare Meghan's nostalgic hobby with Princess Diana.

It was also reported that Diana completed a tough task of sending handwritten replies to 47,000 congratulation letters and 10,000 gifts after her wedding with Prince Charles in 1981.

Interestingly, this is not the first time Meghan is being compared with her mother-in-law. During her recent official visit to Ireland, Meghan was seen wearing suits and tuxedos, which didn't go well with many members of the royal family including the Queen.

However, there were clearly comparisons as Lady Diana also loved wearing suits. She was often seen in black and white suits attending events and parties. Indeed, Meghan, who has always been vocal about various women's issues, seems to be following her late mother-in-law's footsteps.
