Duchess Meghan (43) plans to pass on a particularly valuable piece of jewelry to her daughter Princess Lilibet (3). It is a two-tone Cartier Tank watch that Meghan bought for herself when her series Suits was renewed for a third season. “It felt like a milestone,” Meghan explained to Hello! . The watch is engraved on the back with the words “To MM From MM” and is intended to be a special heirloom for Lilibet, now three years old, who is to receive the piece of jewelry for her 18th birthday.

The watch has a personal meaning for Meghan, as she bought it at a time when she had no connection to the British royal family and her career was at its peak. In addition to this watch, Meghan also owns a second Cartier Tank watch that once belonged to Princess Diana (✝36). She received this iconic piece as a gift from her husband Prince Harry (40) in 2022 after his mother had stipulated before her death that her sons would later be allowed to share her jewelry with their wives. Meghan was first seen in public with Diana’s watch during an Invictus Games event and has worn it regularly since then.

The Cartier Tank watches will not only become a symbol of Meghan’s own achievements but also become cross-generational heirlooms that trace back to Diana. Lilibet, currently the youngest Windsor descendant, will thus become part of this story that keeps Diana’s legacy alive. This clearly shows how important family values and personal memories are to Meghan, who has repeatedly stressed how much she values her connection to Diana.
