And back in 2015, Meghan said she hopes to one day pass down her £4,800 Cartier watch to her daughter.
Meghan bought the pricey Cartier Tank Française after learning Suits – the television programme she starred in – had been commissioned for a third season.
The Duchess previously told Hello: “When I found out Suits had been picked up for our third season – which, at the time, felt like such a milestone – I totally splurged and bought the two-tone version [of the watch].”
She continued: “I had it engraved on the back, ‘To M.M. From M.M.’
“And I plan to give it to my daughter one day. That’s what makes pieces special, the connection you have to them.”
The engraving on the inside of the watch is thought to stand for “to Meghan Markle from Meghan Markle” as the former actress purchased the £4,800 watch to celebrate Suits’ success.
When asked by Oprah what his first thoughts about the baby’s gender were when they found out they were expecting a girl, Prince Harry said: “Just grateful. To have any child, any one or any two, would have been amazing.
“But to have a boy and then a girl, I mean what more can you ask for? Now we’ve got our family, we got the four of us and our two dogs.”
