Meghan Markle Wore Designer Dress & Princess Diana's $25,000 Gold Watch For VAX Live Appearance
Meghan Markle donned the $25,000 gold piece in addition to a Carolina Herrera dress for her televised appearance.
Though Meghan Markle didn't attend Global Citizen’s VAX Live: The Concert to Reunite the World in person like husband Prince Harry, she did make a virtual appearance — and eagle-eyed fans noticed that aside from her designer duds, she wore a watch that once belonged to Princess Diana.
According to reports, the pregnant actress was donning the late royal's gold Cartier Tank Française watch, which is worth $25,000.

The piece was originally a gift to Diana from her brother, John Spencer, and after her death, it was given to Prince William, who passed it down to Harry.
“Women, and especially women of colour, have seen a generation of economic gain wiped out. Since the pandemic began, nearly 5.5million women have lost work in the US, and 47million more women around the world are expected to slip into extreme poverty.”

During her televised appearance for the COVID-19 relief event, Meghan also donned a Carolina Herrera dress, Cartier bracelet and an Awe Inspired necklace that featured the female Venus symbol.
While dressed tot the nines, the star made a passionate speech.
"Women, and especially women of color, have seen a generation of economic gain wiped out," she stated. "Since the pandemic began, nearly five-and-a-half million women have lost work in the U.S. And 47 million more women around the world are expected to slip into extreme poverty."
"My husband and I are thrilled to soon be welcoming a daughter," she gushed. "It's a feeling of joy we share with millions of other families around the world. When we think of her, we think of all the young women and girls around the globe who must be given the ability and the support to lead us forward."
"Their future leadership depends on the decisions we make and the actions we take now to set them up, and set all of us up, for a successful, equitable, compassionate tomorrow. We want to make sure that as we recover, we recover stronger," the actress concluded. "That as we rebuild, we rebuild together. Thank you."
Meghan and Harry acted as cochairs for the concert, which featured performances by Jennifer Lopez, Eddie Vedder and more. Global Citizen reported that the event raised $300 million.
