Meghan Markle surprises by wearing Princess Diana’s unseen necklace in poignant first

Meghan Markle paid a heartfelt tribute to her late mother-in-law Princess Diana during her three-day tour of Nigeria with her husband Prince Harry.

On Saturday afternoon, the couple attended a special lunch with the country’s chief of defence staff, General Christopher Musa, at the Nigerian Defence Headquarters in Abuja. All eyes were on Meghan in her bridal white, strapless dress which perfectly coordinated with Harry’s crisp white suit.

A cross pendant adorned with sparkling diamonds hung from her neck – the very same necklace that once belonged to Diana, according to Page Six.

A source revealed to the publication that the new accessory was actually from Prince Harry’s mother’s private collection.

In fact, Meghan had channelled her late mother-in-law via her poignant choice of necklace on Friday too. Rocking her stunning gold AURate collar necklace and gold Lanvin earrings with a floaty peach backless dress, Meghan’s statement jewellery was eerie similar to Diana’s accessory during her own visit to Nigeria in 1990.
