Meghan Markle has been paying tribute to her late mother-in-law a lot during her royal tour, by wearing Princess Diana's ring and her earrings.

And it seems the Duchess of Sussex is also keen to pay homage to her father-in-law Prince Charles, as she's been wearing the wedding gift he gave her, a lot.

The gift in question is a delicate Cartier diamond tennis bracelet, which she first wore the night before her wedding to Prince Harry.

She also wore it to Prince Charles' 70th birthday celebrations, and more recently, the day she arrived in Australia, and then a few days later to meet the President of Fiji.

It's rumoured to cost around £21k, is crafted from 18k white gold and is covered with 52 brilliant cut diamonds, totalling around 4.68 carats.

As it's a wedding present from Prince Charles, it made sense that Meghan would wear it for her first royal tour since her big day. A sweet touch.

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.
