The portrait, taken by Meghan's close friend and personal photographer Misan Harriman, showcases the duchess leaning against a wall with her arms folded, elegantly displaying the Cartier watch and a gold bracelet. The Cartier Love Bracelet, valued at £5,000, is a piece Meghan has worn on several occasions and is believed to have been a gift from her husband, Prince Harry. Princess Diana was frequently seen wearing the gold Cartier watch, including during her visit to London's Shri Swaminarayan Mandir Hindu Temple in 1997. By choosing to wear the watch in the portrait, Meghan pays tribute to Diana's enduring style and influence.
For this particular portrait, Meghan opted for one of her signature looks, donning a stylish sleeveless grey dress with a high neckline, priced at £310. Her hair flowed down her back, with a few wavy strands framing her face. Keeping her makeup simple yet elegant, Meghan highlighted her deep brown eyes with dark mascara and eyeliner and wore rose-tinted blush and pink lips.
Meghan is often seen wearing halter neck outfits, which exude a chic and sophisticated vibe. Her choice of a halter neck design for her second wedding dress, a white gown by Stella McCartney, sparked a remarkable 185 percent increase in online searches for similar styles.
The debut of the Cartier watch took place in May 2018 when Meghan arrived at Cliveden House Hotel, the evening before her wedding to Prince Harry. While it is believed to be a gift from Harry, there was speculation at the time that the watch could have been a wedding gift from her father-in-law, Prince Charles. Just days after her wedding, Meghan proudly wore the watch during her first official engagement as a member of the Royal Family, accompanied by King Charles and Queen Camilla.
In her podcast announcement, Meghan expressed her pride in joining the talented team at Lemonada, emphasizing her continued passion for podcasting. She highlighted the importance of supporting a female-founded company that offers thought-provoking and highly entertaining podcasts, considering it an excellent way to begin the year 2024 on a positive note.
