Back in 2019, the mum-of-two was seen wearing a delicate 'A' initial necklace as she attended Serena Williams' Wimbledon match. As an obvious tribute to her son, Archie, Meghan looked effortlessly chic as she paired the simple jewellery with a white pinstripe blazer, oversized sunglasses, and a woven fedora hat.

The revelation comes in the run-up to Lilibet's first birthday which is due to be celebrated here in the UK. On 5 June, Lili – as she is known to close family members– will mark her milestone birthday alongside her parents and older brother as they arrive just in time for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
