Having two women of a similar age with near identical tastes in fashion is a difficult prospect for any shopper in search of the perfect gift. Heck, we’ve lost count the amount of times we’ve bought our best mates the same present in the hope they never notice.

So, this might explain why it’s widely believed that Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, might have gifted her stepdaughter-in-laws, Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton, the same bracelet when they joined the royal family.

Following the Duchess of Cambridge’s wedding to Prince William in April 2011, HELLO! reports Camilla gifted the bride a gold link charm bracelet which featured a disc engraved with both of their monograms—’C’ for Catherine and a coronet on one side, and ‘C’ for Camilla and a crown on the other.

The mother-of-three was spotted wearing the bracelet in June 2011, just two months after her royal wedding, and again days later at Wimbledon.

The bracelet appears to be of great sentimental value to Kate, who reportedly went for a girls’ lunch with the Duchess of Cornwall, her daughter Laura Lopes, and sister Pippa Middleton days before the royal wedding at Koffman’s in the Berkeley Hotel.

As a result, royal fans have speculated whether Camilla has given a similar present to Meghan, who married Prince Harry in May.

Before her big day, the former actress’ cypher was unveiled to the public which featured a script uppercase of her initial ‘M’ underneath a coronet, which is near identical to William, Kate, and Harry’s cyphers.

Since her royal engagement in November 2017, Markle has formed a close bond with the Royal Family and even asked Prince Harry’s father, Prince Charles, to walk her down the aisle on her wedding day.

Days later, the 37-year-old was seen in good spirits with Camilla at Charles’ 70th birthday garden party and were even spotted holding hands at one point.

For the event, the star appeared to wear a dazzling diamond tennis bracelet from Cartier.

According to the Cartier website, a similar bracelet costs a staggering $32,300. Named the ‘Essential Lines Bracelet’, the accessory is made of gold and diamonds, set with 61 brilliant-cut diamonds totalling 3.34 carats.

Months earlier, the former Suits star wore a delicate diamond bracelet following her baptism, which was widely believed to have been a gift from Prince Harry.

The stunning piece of jewellery was stacked on top of another diamond band, a Horizontal Bar Bracelet made from her favourite brand Birks’ Rosée du Matin collection which costs approximately $1,217.

We’re sure whatever gift Camilla has given Meghan, it will be utterly adorable and a keepsake for generations.
