Meghan Markle’s baby girl will inherit some very fashionable genes – along with a very special piece of jewelry.
“I’ve always coveted the Cartier French Tank watch,” Markle, 39, told Hello! magazine back in 2015. “When I found out that ‘Suits’ had been picked up for our third season – which felt like such a milestone at the time – I wasted myself and bought the two-tone version.”
The Duchess of Sussex continued, “I had it engraved on the back, ‘To MM From MM’ and I intend to give it to my daughter one day. That’s what makes pieces special, the connection you have with them. “
Markle’s version of the Tank Française retails for $ 6,200, making it an accessory worth keeping in the family for generations to come.
Coincidentally, the Duchess’s late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, owned two versions of the same watch: a Tank Louis with an alligator strap and a Tank Française in yellow gold.
It is believed that Prince Harry, 36, inherited the latter after his mother’s death and eventually gave it to Markle, as she was seemingly seen at a Fortune Magazine virtual summit in 2020.
Markle revealed that she and Harry were expecting a baby girl during their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, which aired on CBS on Sunday, March 7.
For the sit-down, the Duchess accessorized her symbolic lotus print Armani dress with two more special Cartier pieces: her yellow gold Love bracelet ($ 6,550) and Princess Diana’s diamond tennis bracelet, which Harry used to create her three-stone engagement ring . 2017.
“They wanted to wear the bracelet [Harry’s] mother there with them during the interview, ”a spokesman for Markle told the“ Today ”show.
Cartier also donated the Duchess’s wedding jewelry when she said to her Prince, “Yes.”
