Meghan Markle revealed that she has a warm relationship with the Queen during her candid interview with Oprah, telling her that she was gifted some beautiful jewellery during her first official engagement with Her Majesty.

Saying that she has always been “warm and inviting”, the Duchess said that the Queen gave her “some beautiful pearl earrings and a matching necklace” for the pair’s first joint engagement together, and that the monarch also shared her blanket in the car while travelling together between visits.

It’s not confirmed whether the earrings are the pair Meghan wore during the engagement in June 2018 – which saw the pair visit Chester on the royal train – though it would make sense, since they feature a beautiful pearl and diamond detail, and were confirmed to have been gifted to her by the Queen at the time.
