Meghan Markle wore a sweet tribute to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, during the first leg of her royal tour to Australia with Prince Harry.

The former “Suits” actresses stepped out wearing two pieces of jewelry ― earrings and a gold bracelet ― from Diana’s collection.

Royal commentator Omid Scobie also noted that Meghan appeared to be wearing a gold bracelet with blue stones that also once belonged to Diana:

Meghan’s engagement ring also has stones from Diana’s jewelry collection. Prince Harry explained the connection during a BBC interview just after he and Meaghan announced their engagement.

“The [engagement] ring is yellow gold because that’s her [Meghan’s] favorite,” he said. “And the main stone itself I sourced from Botswana and the little diamonds on either side are from my mother’s jewelry collection to make sure that she’s with us on this ― on this crazy journey together.”
