Last Sunday the Duchess
of Sussex turned heads at a special charity polo match as she channeled
Eliza Doolittle with her outfit, but there was one small detail that went
largely unnoticed by royal fans.
As Meghan Markle presented
Prince Harry and his Los Padres team with the winner’s trophy and went on to
kiss her husband on the lips, an elegant gold ‘L’ initial ring could be seen on
her right hand, no doubt a sweet tribute to her 11-month-old daughter, Lilibet Diana.
This adorable nod to her
youngest child is not the first time the royal has worn sentimental jewellery
as a means to honour her nearest and dearest.
Back in 2019, the mum-of-two
was seen wearing a delicate ‘A’ initial necklace as she attended Serena
Williams’ Wimbledon match. As an obvious tribute to her son, Archie, Meghan
looked effortlessly chic as she paired the simple jewellery with a white
pinstripe blazer, oversized sunglasses, and a woven fedora hat.

The revelation comes in the
run-up to Lilibet’s first birthday which is due to be celebrated here in the
UK. On 5 June, Lili – as she is known to close family members– will mark her
milestone birthday alongside her parents and older brother as they arrive just
in time for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

Lilibet’s birthday will be a
particularly momentous occasion seeing as it will be her first time meeting her
great-grandmother and namesake the Queen. Her passing visit will also allow the
small tot to spend plenty of time with her grandparents, Prince Charles and the
Duchess of Cornwall.

As part of the Jubilee
celebrations, it was recently revealed that Meghan and Harry will not be
joining the Queen on the Buckingham Palace balcony during Trooping the Colour.
Making the announcement, a
spokesman for Buckingham Palace said: “After careful consideration, The
Queen has decided this year’s traditional Trooping the Colour balcony
appearance on Thursday 2 June will be limited to Her Majesty and those members
of the Royal Family who are currently undertaking official public duties on
behalf of the Queen.”
