It is highly unlikely that Princess Lilibet will get such a gift from her mother Meghan Markle on her birthday today - after all, she just turned 2 years old - but in the end, Lili has a wonderful gift: a Cartier Tank Francaise watch (list price £5,000) The gift is waiting for her. Princess Meghan bought the watch after learning that she would be continuing her role as Rachel Zane on the hit TV show Suits, and had it engraved "To M.M. From M.M.," The Sun reports. [I plan to give it to my daughter someday." That's what makes it so special.

Princess Meghan said this in 2015 and met Prince Harry on a blind date the following year. They announced their engagement in November 2017, married on May 19, 2018, had their first child, Prince Archie, on May 6, 2019, and on June 4, 2021, Lilibet Diana, named after the familial nickname of Queen Elizabeth and of course her late paternal grandmother, Princess Diana

The couple had a baby, a daughter, and a son.

In an interview with Hello, Princess Meghan explained why the watch meant so much to her: "I've always admired Cartier's French Tank watch. When I found out that 'Suits' had been chosen for the third season, it felt like such a milestone at the time.

Meghan also owns another watch, the Tank Francaise by Cartier. This one belonged to Princess Diana, and the late Princess Diana wore it regularly for her engagements in the 1990s, according to the Mirror. The watch was given to Princess Diana by her father on her 21st birthday and passed to Harry after her death, who reportedly gave it to Meghan early in their relationship.

Princess Meghan wears this watch frequently, but it is not the only piece of jewelry Princess Diana wears. At her wedding reception with Harry, Meghan wore an aquamarine ring on her right hand, surrounded by small solitaire diamonds and set in 24-carat gold, and Meghan also frequently wears Princess Diana's Cartier tennis bracelet, said to be worth £17,000.

So while Lili will not be getting this watch for her birthday this year, the Daily Express quotes a source as saying, "No doubt she will get a truckload of gifts. Princess Meghan is in love with her Cartier music box. (Harry has left most of Lili's gifts to Meghan, but she has talked about adding more of his childhood favorite British books to the nursery, like Paddington Bear and the Frog and Toad series."
