While the royals might have made themselves at home in the USA and have removed themselves from the British Royal Family, they are still owners of some precious items.
Their little girl is already the indirect owner of more than some people can only dream of.
Included in her inheritance are some very costly and unique pieces of jewellery, consisting of rings, watches, earrings, and more.
According to The Sun, these items are valued at a massive £980k (estimated R23-million) and include some from Princess Diana.

Here is a more in-depth look at the collection:
Princess Diana's Cartier Tank Française Watch
- Worth R12-million.
- Meghan has worn the watch multiple times.
Diana’s Cartier small Tank Francaise in 18ct yellow gold, on matching bracelet, is a classic and timeless watch, as well as a functional piece of jewellery.
Oooh correcting myself twice today! Meghan does indeed own a identical Tank watch that she bought for herself years ago, however it was two tone. The one she’s wearing today is gold so it probably is Diana’s. Catherine got Diana’s engagement ring and Meghan was gifted her watch pic.twitter.com/0MouPehHfo

The Duchess's Wedding Bands
- Worth R3.1-million.
- Prince Harry and Meghan got engaged in 2017 with Harry presenting a custom-designed three-stone engagement ring.
- It holds two diamonds from Princess Diana's collection and a cushion-cut diamond.
- Her wedding band, made of rare Welsh gold gifted by the late Queen Elizabeth II, is part of a 95-year-old tradition.
It appears that Meghan’s engagement ring has been modified to include pavé set diamonds inserted on the band, which appears to be more narrow. @TandCmag have great side-by-side images of the ring before (R) and after (L) pic.twitter.com/TdPGRl5WXm
