Meghan Markle’s wedding was one of the biggest TV spectacles of 2018. The stunning former-actress, from LA, became the Duchess of Sussex in May. Meghan’s wedding dress is estimated to have cost a whopping £387,000. And it wasn’t the only precious part of Meghan’s stunning bridal look.
Meghan Markle made a subtle nod to her grandmother-in-law and the monarch, Queen Elizabeth II.
Deborah Papas, gemologist and jewellery expert from Prestige Pawnbrokers of Channel 4’s Posh Pawn told Express.co.uk the piece was given to the Queen’s grandmother Queen Mary in 1932.
In a touching move, Queen Mary left the piece to her granddaughter on her death.
Deborah said: “It was bequeathed to her granddaughter, The Queen on her death in 1953.”

The tiara features a stunning flower shaped brooch made of diamonds in the centre.
According to the expert Queen Mary was given the brooch on her wedding, given the tiara a romantic royal history.
Deborah said: “The centre section was originally a wedding gift from the County of Lincoln to Queen Mary in 1893 and is a pendant/brooch which I believe can be cleverly detached and worn as such.
“It is set with a large brilliant cut (possibly old-cut) diamond estimated to be approximately 10 carats or more and surrounded by nine smaller brilliant-cut diamonds (but not so small at an estimated two to three carats each).”
The tiara is smothered in yet more precious rocks.
Deborah said: “There is a cluster either side also of seven round diamonds and an array of additional round brilliant-cut diamonds all over this 11 jointed art-deco piece.”
Can you guess whose wedding tiara is worth more, Kate, Meghan or Eugenie’s?
One of the pieces for the high profile weddings could auction for £10 million.
There have been rumours of a Prince William and Meghan Markle feud in recent weeks.
It was claimed that William ignored Meghan on Christmas Day as she tried to talk to him.Writing on Instagram, one royal follower said: “It’s sad William ignored Meghans chatter as it looked she said something to him!” [sic]
However, a body language expert has claimed there might be other reasons for William’s behaviour, besides a rumoured “feud”.
Body language expert Judi James said: “This sense of distancing could be caused by tensions but it could also primarily be prompted by William’s aversion to royal ‘soap operas’.
“After the tragic dramas of his parent’s marriage William has always appeared keen to avoid any public emotional displays that might draw too much ongoing attention from the press and it could easily be this, rather than Meghan herself, That he’s keen to avoid.”
