Meghan Markle certainly knows how to turn every appearance into a promotional event, and her recent outing in Los Angeles is no exception. This time, she’s making headlines not for anything groundbreaking, but for allegedly paying tribute to her children, Archie and Lilibet, by wearing an outrageously expensive and somewhat tacky necklace.
While attending the launch of a new hair care line by the brand "Highbrow Hippie," Meghan was spotted wearing a gold and diamond "Call on Your Angel" pendant by Logan Hollowell. The piece, which reportedly features the names of her children engraved on it, is a strange mix of motherhood tribute and fashion disaster. Nothing says "I'm a devoted mom" like a necklace that looks like it belongs in a B-grade 90s thriller about a secret society.
The pendant itself isn’t exactly a symbol of divine protection, as the brand claims. Instead, it seems more like a reminder of how much you can spend on a piece of jewelry that has no real elegance. The design features an eye-shaped diamond surrounded by smaller diamonds, with Archie and Lilibet’s names engraved at the top and bottom. The necklace is priced between £4,747 and £4,867, depending on the chain length. If that’s a bit too rich for your taste, there’s a lab-created diamond version for a mere £1,730 to £1,851—still a hefty price for something that looks like it could’ve been plucked from the back pages of a tabloid magazine from years ago.
But, let’s be honest here: the necklace is not just a tribute to her kids; it’s also a business opportunity. Meghan is likely eyeing this as the first of many potential revenue streams. Perhaps there’s a whole collection of Sussex-themed jewelry on the way? Who knows, maybe even a series of pieces celebrating the *mysterious* existence of her children, whose existence continues to spark debate.
Let’s talk about the necklace’s appearance for a moment. It looks like something you’d find at a booth at a county fair where you get your pet’s name engraved on a cheap tag—something you buy when you’ve got a few extra dollars from carnival games. It’s gaudy, over the top, and definitely not a look of understated elegance.
And let’s not forget the outfit Meghan paired it with: an all-black ensemble that was about as glamorous as a wrinkled napkin. The pantsuit—if that’s what we’re calling it—looked more like something a teenager might wear to a high school party. It wasn’t polished, it was sloppy, and it gave off the vibe of someone trying too hard to project A-list status while still figuring out how to put an outfit together.
If Meghan’s trying to follow in the footsteps of Catherine, Princess of Wales, she’s missing the mark. Catherine wears simple, elegant jewelry with her children’s names, pieces that are subtle, graceful, and tasteful. Meghan’s necklace, however, is none of these things. It’s just another example of how she tries to outshine everyone, only to make herself look more and more ridiculous with every new piece of merchandise she promotes.
So, who’s actually going to buy this necklace with her kids' names engraved on it? Not likely anyone who has taste. But let’s give Meghan some credit: she always manages to get publicity, even if it’s in the most cringeworthy way. Maybe next, she’ll start selling gold watches with the faces of her kids on them. At this point, who would really be surprised?
