At the reception, Meghan Markle had chosen a stunning pair of Cartier earrings to complement her attire, and these earrings, along with a matching bracelet, held a combined value of nearly a quarter of a million pounds. These exquisite pieces were adorned with 19 brilliant-cut diamonds totaling 0.81 carats and 10 baguette-cut diamonds totaling 1.8 carats, all set in 18K white gold. Notably, the bracelet alone bore a price tag of £241,000.
However, in the aftermath of that reception, Meghan Markle seemed to have refrained from wearing these highly expensive jewels. Jackie Meekin, who is responsible for cataloging and preserving valuable jewelry for the royal family, confirmed that the jewelry worn by Meghan and other members of the Royal Family on that evening indeed belonged to the Royal Family's collection.
These pieces, on special loan from the late Queen Mother, were promptly returned, cataloged, and preserved for future royal events. The only items that mysteriously disappeared were the Cartier bracelet and earrings, known as "the Reflection." These were the pieces Meghan wore during the reception, and it appears that she took them with her when she left the Royal Family. Speculations have arisen, suggesting that she may have sold these pieces to cover various expenses.
Rumors have also circulated regarding Meghan selling some of her high-end clothing and billing Prince Charles for her extravagant wardrobe costs. During her 22-month tenure as a working royal, Meghan reportedly wore clothing worth a staggering £977,309, primarily consisting of designer outfits from renowned brands like Givenchy, Prada, and Chanel, along with an array of expensive accessories. While she was part of the royal family, the expenses for Meghan's work-related clothing were covered through the budget provided by Prince Charles from the Duchy of Cornwall.
In recent news, Meghan Markle has faced criticism for portraying herself as a duchess in the United States. Brandon, a cultural expert, presented these claims, suggesting that the couple's public separation was an attempt to undo the negative impact of the Harry and Meghan documentary, which portrayed them as a toxic couple. Brandon emphasized that Megan needed to distance herself from the victim narrative and Prince Harry to reveal her true identity.
He suggested that Meghan should focus on her celebrity status, much like the Beckhams, where each half of the couple pursues their own endeavors while occasionally coming together. Brandon believed that Meghan could easily earn a substantial income, potentially reaching a million dollars, as long as she pursued her ventures independently from Prince Harry.
