Princess Lilibet is set to receive an “incredible” gift one day from Meghan Markle. In 2015, six years before welcoming Lilibet, Meghan revealed in an interview she had purchased a luxury gift for herself, one that she would someday pass on to her own daughter. As Lilibet celebrates her second birthday today, the little one is likely to be given many thoughtful presents from her parents and big brother, Archie.

When the Duchess of Sussex starred on the US legal drama series Suits, Meghan decided to treat herself to a special gift.

As the series got extended to a third series, Meghan splashed out on a Cartier Tank Francaise watch – costing an estimated £5,000.

As well as having a big price tag, Meghan also got it engraved to make it extra special.

In 2015, in an interview with HELLO!, Meghan explained: “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 a two-tone version [of the watch].”

Meghan added: “I plan to give it to my daughter one day.

“That’s what makes pieces special, the connection you have to them.”

Meghan also has a Cartier Tank Francaise watch that was previously owned by her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana.

It is believed to have been passed to Meghan – from Harry – in the early days of their relationship.
