New mum Meghan Markle was reportedly given an eternity ring by Prince Harry to celebrate the birth of baby Archie, who is reportedly being christened this weekend.

Now she might be adding to her jewellery collection, as Prince Harry has been given a meaningful bracelet to pass onto her.

The royal attended the National Youth Mentoring Summit in London this week, and according to People, was given a lapis lazuli bracelet made by 'Afghan War widows in a partnership that hopes to foster hope and healing with American war widows'.

Harry apparently thought it was 'lovely'. Lapis lazuli signifies wisdom, healing and love, so it might be significant for someone who is navigating early motherhood, and according to the Daily Mail, Meghan has also been wearing lots of turquoise jewellery, 'to bring blessings' for new mums.

More importantly though, the mentoring meeting was set up in the name of Harry's mother, the late Princess Diana, so it could also be a nice nod to her.

Penny grew up in France and studied languages and law at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris before moving to the UK for her MA in multimedia journalism at Bournemouth University. She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).

Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.

However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.

Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
