Princess Charlotte, nine years old, charms everyone around her, becoming a favorite among the Crown’s staunch supporters. She amuses observers with her strong character and serves as a true right-hand girl to her parents, Prince William and Kate Middleton. Never missing an opportunity, she reminds her brothers of their duties.
Recently, she has asserted her status as a mini-fashion icon with matching hairstyles and coordinated outfits. During official ceremonies, the Princess of Wales and her daughter form a harmonious duo. In May 2023, they wore matching flower crowns at the coronation of Charles III and Queen Camilla. Crafted by Jess Collet for Alexander McQueen, these diadems, made of silver ingots, crystals, and silver threads, added to a treasure trove of jewelry, though they are far from the most beautiful pieces.
The Legacy of Meghan Markle
Steven Stone, an expert interviewed by the media outlet Express, estimated Kate Middleton’s jewelry collection to be worth at least 82 million pounds ($107,000,000). In the coming years, Princess Charlotte is expected to inherit many of them, including some that belonged to Princess Diana. The famous Spencer tiara, a headpiece worn by Lady Di on her wedding day, could potentially be hers.
What about Lilibet of Sussex? Well, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s youngest daughter is also not expected to miss out on accessories. Consequently, the three-year-old stands to inherit a fortune that is still the stuff of dreams. Furthermore, Lilibet will receive some exquisite gems as she grows up.

The Israeli #Ambassador to the #UnitedNations said afterwards: “The UN Secretary-General, who shows understanding for the campaign of mass murder of children, women, and the elderly, is not fit to lead the UN. I call on him to resign immediately. There is no justification or point in talking to those who show compassion for the most terrible atrocities committed against the citizens of Israel and the #Jewish people. There are simply no words.” #gaza
Princess Diana’s Jewels Worth £650,000 ($844,000)
Stored in her former actress mother’s safes, £980,000 ($1,270,000) worth of jewelry is set to become symbolic gifts from mother to daughter. Not all of the Duchess of Sussex’s pieces will immediately go to her offspring. By the time she turns 18, she will have more than enough to cover her in jewels, receiving just a few pieces on special occasions.
Indeed, Meghan Markle has more than enough jewelry and luxury watches to adorn Lilibet without lacking any herself. She owns about £650,000 ($844,000) worth of jewels from Princess Diana’s personal collection. Meanwhile, she purchased the rest of her collection with her own money.

The Duchess’ Cartier Bracelet
Among these jewels are some rarely worn by their owner. These include those she wore on her wedding day to Prince Harry and sumptuous gifts from him. At the royal wedding in 2018, the Duchess of Sussex notably wore a Cartier bracelet estimated at £150,000 ($195,000).
@matta_of_fact Who do you think #Lilibet resembles? 🥰 #royal #royalfamily #meghanmarkle #princeharry #princesseugenie #queenelizabeth #royaltea #lilibetdiana
Diamond expert Maxwell Stone mentioned that Lilibet should cherish this piece with all her heart: “Worn by Meghan on her wedding day, this jewel would be an emotional piece for Lilibet. She might eventually wear it with her own wedding dress in the future.” Moreover, as with all these iconic royal jewels, the value of this evocative bracelet for the Sussexes is expected to increase significantly over time.
