<p id=”par-2_21″>Meghan Markle’s tribute to her late mother-in-law Princess Diana wasn’t apparent. But eagle-eyed royal watchers picked up on it right away.</p>
<p id=”par-3_47″>In the trailer for her new Netflix series, <em>With Love, Meghan</em>, the Duchess of Sussex, is featured preparing food and sharing lifestyle tips and tricks with <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/mindy-kaling-reveals-meghan-markle-asked-her-new-show-would-love-that.html/?swcfpc=1″>celebrity friends Mindy Kaling</a> and Abigail Spencer. Visible among these interactions is an item that belonged to Prince Harry’s late mother.</p>
<p id=”par-4_55″>Throughout the trailer, Meghan wears Princess Diana’s gold Cartier Tank Française watch. It is unclear when Harry first gifted the family heirloom to Meghan, but she was first seen wearing it in early 2020. The same model currently retails for upwards of $22,000, though given its historical value, Diana’s watch is likely worth much more. </p>
<p id=”par-5_30″>Diana’s timepiece is the second Cartier watch Meghan owns. She purchased her own yellow gold and steel watch from the brand, which cost more than $5,000, as an heirloom. </p>
<p id=”par-6_80″>“I’ve always coveted the Cartier French Tank watch. When I found out <em>Suits</em> had been picked up for our third season — which, at the time, felt like such a milestone — I totally splurged and bought the two-tone version,” Markle told <a href=”https://www.hellomagazine.com/fashion/news/2018050959344/meghan-markle-cartier-watch/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Hello!</a> in 2015. “I had it engraved on the back, ‘To M.M. From M.M.’ and I plan to give it to my daughter one day. That’s what makes pieces special, the connection you have to them,” she said.</p>
