Meghan Markle's subtle tribute to Princess Diana in new Netflix show

Meghan Markle appears to have made a sweet tribute to the mother-in-law she never met. The two-minute-long teaser for her new Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, dropped on Thursday and shows the Duchess wandering rows of a meticulously kept garden, choosing fresh flowers, harvesting honey, kneading homemade bread and working in the kitchen with a lineup of famous friends, including Mindy Kaling and Suits star Abigail Spencer.
And throughout the different scenes there is one constant - Princess Diana's gold Cartier Tank Française watch, which Meghan wears alongside another Cartier piece, the designer's iconic gold Love bracelet. The late princess wore her watch regularly after her divorce from then-Prince Charles.
Ironically, Meghan already owned a version of the same watch prior to meeting Harry. In 2015, Meghan told HELLO! that she bought her own two-tone Tank Française to celebrate the third season of Suits, and had it engraved to say "To MM from MM". The Duchess is a longtime fan of Cartier: she's owned one of the brand's signature gold Love bangles (£3,800 and up) since at least 2011, nearly a decade before she married into the Royal Family. She even wore the brand on her wedding day, choosing a £120,000 diamond-encrusted bracelet for the ceremony and matching drop earrings worth around £53,000 for the reception.
Prince Harry reportedly gifted his mother's yellow gold timepiece to his wife, and she was first seen wearing it publicly in 2020. The same model currently retails for upwards of £17,590, though given its historical value, Diana's watch is likely worth much more.
