Meghan Markle paid a heartfelt tribute to her late mother-in-law Princess Diana over the weekend.

While the Duchess of Sussex and her husband Prince Harry were on a three-day tour of Nigeria, Meghan accessorized one of her outfits with a diamond cross pendant that once belonged to the late Princess of Wales.

People reported the necklace, a diamond cross on a gold chain, was a recent gift from Harry, which came from his mother’s private collection.

Meghan often pays homage to her late mother-in-law whether it be through fashion or wearing a coveted piece of jewlery.

During the couple’s trip to the African country, Meghan was spotted wearing a gold collar necklace that looked eerily similar to the one Princess Diana wore when she visited Nigeria in 1991.

The Duchess of Sussex had also been spotted wearing Princess Diana’s gold Cartier Tank Française watch, one of Meghan’s favorites.

It’s been said that Princess Diana wrote each of her sons a letter asking them to pass along her jewelry to their future wives.

“I would like you to allocate all my jewellery to the share to be held by my sons, so that their wives may, in due course, have it or use it”, the Princess reportedly stated to both Prince William and Harry.

Meghan’s engagement ring was designed by Harry using diamonds from his late mother’s collection.

“The ring is obviously yellow gold because that’s [Meghan’s] favourite and the main stone itself I sourced from Botswana and the little diamonds either side are from my mother’s jewelry collection, to make sure that she’s with us on this crazy journey together,” he told the BBC during the couple’s first sit-down interview.
