YOU Magazine Fashion Beauty Celebrity Health Life Relationships Horoscopes Food Interiors Travel Home Celebrity Meghan Markle plans to pass this meaningful heirloom down to her baby By You Magazine - April 29, 2019 As the world eagerly awaits the arrival of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s first baby, royal watchers have been scouring articles past and present for any hint of what kind of parents the royal couple might be. And now, one particular interview has surfaced from the archives in which Meghan makes a touching revelation about the gift she bought for herself in the past that she intends to hand down to her future children. Meghan previously opened up about the significant keepsake.

From M.M.’ and I plan to give it to my daughter one day,’ she continued. ‘That’s what makes pieces special, the connection you have to them.’ Meghan Markle in 2015, when she was still starring in Suits.

Even the engraving might remain accurate if the couple choose an ‘M’ name for their child. Although Meghan and Harry generally go by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and may choose to use this as Prince William and Kate’s children do, often going by Cambridge, their child’s official surname will technically be Mounbatten-Windsor. Bookies are favouring Diana and Elizabeth as front runners for the moniker if the couple has a daughter, but there’s also talk of other traditional royal names like Mary and Margaret – both of which would end up replicating the M.M. initials Meghan had added to her luxury piece.

Speaking to Marie Claire last week, gemologist Grant Mobley said Queen Elizabeth II is likely to pass on the Botswana Flower brooch – featuring 11 pear shaped diamonds set in yellow gold – from her own selection to the newborn. ‘Botswana has significant meaning to Meghan and Harry – after traveling to the country together in the early days of their relationship, Harry later chose a diamond from Botswana as the feature stone in Meghan’s engagement ring,’ he noted.
