Amidst her ongoing rift with the Royal family, Meghan Markle wore Prince Harry's mother jewels to send a "subtle message" to them. On May 11, the 42-year-old Duchess of Sussex attended an Abuja reception for military families in Nigeria while sporting a special necklace that had once belonged to Princess Diana.
Prince Harry recently gifted Meghan a necklace, which features a modest diamond cross on a gold chain.
Speaking to GB News, James Harris, Regional Sales Manager of Austen & Blake, described the sentimental significance of the necklace.
Harris mentioned that the Duchess sported the several jewelry pieces during her three-day Nigeria visit. And one of these exquisite pieces, included a beautiful cross-pendant with glittering diamonds and a gold chain.
“The cross pendant, while beautiful in its craftsmanship, could have carried a deeper significance,” he said, adding that the cross pendant signifies protection, hope, and faith.
The pendant serves as a reminder of an individual's spiritual beliefs and resilience and strength in the face of hardship.
In Meghan’s case, the stylist said that the cross can be referred to as a symbol of unity and peace, highlighting her devotion to humanitarian efforts and her commitment to promoting understanding across cultures.
