Meghan,
the Duchess of Sussex, paid tribute to Princess Diana by wearing a piece of her jewelry during a tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey. In her and Prince Harry's first major TV appearance since leaving their roles as senior royals, Meghan can be seen wearing the sparking diamond tennis bracelet once owned by her late mother-in-law.
Reportedly by French luxury brand Cartier, the item was worn in public by Diana several times prior to her death. Harry is thought to have taken stones from the very same bracelet to produce the engagement ring he proposed to Megan with in 2017.
It's not the first time that Meghan has worn the bracelet, having appeared to do so during a royal tour in 2018. She also wore a ring owned by Harry's mother before the pair's wedding reception that same year.
In the wide-ranging interview, which aired Sunday evening on CBS, Prince Harry told Winfrey that Princess Diana would have been "very sad" about the couple's decision to step back from the royal family.
"I think she would feel very angry with how this has panned out, and very sad. But ultimately, all she'd ever want is for us to be happy," he said, adding that he "felt her presence throughout this whole process."
The topic of jewelery also came up during the two-hour primetime special, with Meghan revealing that the Queen had given her a gift of pearl earrings and a matching necklace on their first joint engagement.
Nods to the past.
Wearing Diana's bracelet was one of a number of style statements made during the interview, in which Meghan and Harry addressed their decision to step back from the royal family.
Meghan also sported a gold and aquamarine necklace by British designer Pippa Small, who markets her designs as being hand-crafted and ethically sourced. The Duchess of Sussex, who is expecting the pair's second child -- revealed in the interview to be a girl -- completed the look with earrings by Canadian jeweler Birks.
