MEGHAN AND KATEDazzling Duchesses
Prince Harry and Meghan are the royal poster couple for romance. And since their wedding the former TV star’s jewelry box has been full of Cartier – Meghan owns two pairs of earrings and a bracelet that formed part of her trousseau. One of her favorite wedding gifts from Harry is an Asprey emerald-cut aquamarine cocktail ring, priceless because it once belonged to his beloved mother Diana. Of course, the iconic Princess’s most famous sparkler is the engagement ring worn by her other daughter-in-law. To go with it Prince William gave Kate a Cartier Ballon Bleu watch, featuring blue hands. It’s also thought that he marked the birth of Prince Louis with the gift of a ring set with a large citrine, a stone which is said to represent new life.
