Meghan Markle gave Kate Middleton a touching gift at her wedding
And it's lovely.
And it's lovely.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tied the knot this weekend at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, in quite possibly the most star-studded ceremony in history.
But while the royal wedding guests ranged from Victoria Beckham and Amal Clooney to Serena Williams and Oprah, the whole event will go down as one of the sweetest in royal history, with the royal family making a huge effort to welcome Meghan into the fold.
The Queen lent Meghan the Queen Mary Diamond Bandeau tiara from her collection to wear on the big day and Prince Charles walked the 36-year-old down the aisle after her father Thomas Markle pulled out.
And of course the Queen gave the newlyweds a very generous gift, bestowing upon them the title, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and giving them York Cottage on her Sandringham Estate as their second home.
But the couple weren’t just receiving gifts, with Meghan giving some wedding presents of her own on the big day, with one of her recipients being now sister-in-law, Kate Middleton.
That’s right. Meghan reportedly gave seven of her closest friends, including Kate, a specially created yellow gold bracelet from Zofia Day, as a keepsake from the day.

It’s name? The Kensington Bracelet.
‘It’s an overwhelming honour to be part of history and for my pieces to be given as a keepsake for this momentous occasion,’ Zofia Day founder Lisette Polny told People.
‘I have always wanted to create a petite line, and my daughter loves to wear my designs,’ she continued, going on to explain how she also created pieces for the young bridesmaids, Benita Litt's children. ‘So I decided to make Benita’s girls some special pieces for their special day.’
This is lovely.
