Meghan Markle Forced to Steal Gems Worth £20,000 from Kate to Celebrate Pregnancy
Following the announcement of her pregnancy with Archie, Meghan Markle debuted a stunning set of jewels gifted by Prince Harry.
The gems hold significant symbolism for the couple, with some pieces belonging to Harry's late mother, Princess Diana.
Meghan has often paid tribute to Diana by wearing her jewellery on special occasions, and her decision to wear them during her pregnancy was seen as a way of including Diana in their jubilant baby news.
Among the pieces that Meghan wore were a pair of butterfly earrings thought to feature diamonds and onyx set in yellow gold.
She also wore a gold cuff bracelet that may have looked familiar to royal fans.
Both the earrings and the bracelet previously belonged to Princess Diana, who left her jewellery to Harry and Prince William after her death in 1997.

Meghan has inherited several other pieces from Diana, including dainty gold butterfly studs encrusted with diamonds and blue stones that Princess Di wore on a trip to Canada in 1986.
She has also inherited Diana's gold and cabochon sapphire cuff worth more than £20,000, a Cartier diamond tennis bracelet worth more than £17,000, and Diana's famous Cartier Tank watch worth more than £17,000 when it was gifted to her for her 21st birthday.
The Cartier Tank watch is one of Diana's most coveted heirlooms, which was originally allocated to Prince William who swapped it for Diana's sapphire engagement ring that was originally allocated to Prince Harry.
It would be worth more than £500,000 today.
Meghan and Harry have made sure to pay tribute to Diana with the announcement that they were expecting their second baby, Lilibet, in 2021.
The Duke and Duchess announced that Archie would be a big brother on Valentine's Day, the same day that Princess Diana's pregnancy with Prince Harry was announced in 1984.
Prince Harry has made it clear that he carries Diana's memory forward in his family life, and Meghan has also ensured that Diana was a part of their wedding celebrations in 2018 by wearing another of her classic gems, an aquamarine ring.
Diana often wore the huge blue sparkler after her divorce from Prince Charles in 1996, and it was known to be a firm favourite.
Meghan wore the ring for her and Harry's wedding reception, acting as her something blue for her second wedding outfit.
However, recent events have shown that not everyone is happy with the couple's actions.
Some royal fans were upset after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stole the limelight from Prime William and Kate Middleton at Wimbledon.
They believe that the US-based royal couple may have deliberately leaked their son Archie's pictures to the media on the 4th of July parade.
The royal fans are of the view that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were looking spectacular, and Archie's pictures somehow overshadowed their presence at the tennis match.
Despite stepping down from their royal duties and moving to the US, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle continue to dominate headlines in the UK.
However, their recent actions have caused controversy among some royal fans who believe that they are stealing the limelight from other members of the royal family.
In conclusion, Meghan Markle's decision to wear Princess Diana's jewellery during her pregnancy was seen as a way of including Diana in their jubilant baby news.
While some royal fans are critical of the couple's recent actions, it is clear that Meghan and Harry are determined to honour Diana's memory and continue her legacy in their family life.
