Meghan Markle just released a brilliant video launching her new 40×40 project, but it was her jewellery that really caught our eye.

And no, we don’t just mean the huge diamond engagement ring Prince Harry proposed with years ago.

For her first appearance since giving birth to her and Harry’s daughter, Lilibet ‘Lili’ Diana, the Duchess of Sussex chose some fitting accessories.

Dressed in a white, ribbed shirt and matching cardigan for the video, she kept her jewellery simple with two dainty necklaces.

Held up on fine silver chains, the pendants showed two constellations picked out in small diamonds.

The top necklace shows the Taurus constellation, a touching nod to her son Archie, who was born on May 19, 2019.

And the second shows the constellation Gemini, for – you guessed it – daughter Lili, born on June 4, 2021.

The pendants are reportedly Logan Hollowell designs and retail for $2,167 and $2,418 respectively.

And mum-of-two Meghan isn’t the only royal who has paid tribute to her children through her jewellery.

Kate Middleton regularly wears a necklace that features sweet nods to her own kids, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

She recently donned a customised Gold Midnight Moon necklace from Daniella Draper that bears each of her children’s initials.

Perhaps the two duchesses have been sharing style tips from across the pond?

Meghan looked effortlessly chic in her latest appearance, sporting a white singlet top and what looked to be white linen trousers.

She paired it while a luxe white cardigan which she wore off her shoulders and a pair of neutral pumps.

As well as her constellation pendants, Meghan wore gold bangles and a pair of diamond stud earrings to complete her understated yet chic look.

While her necklaces may be a little pricey, you can still shop this delicate jewellery trend on a budget.
