Meghan Markle honored her children by weaning a personalized necklace during her and Prince Harry ’s visit to Colombia. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex visited a local drum school , Escuela Tambores de Cabildo, in Cartagena on Saturday, August 17, with Colombian Vice President Francia Márquez . The visit marked the third day of their trip to Colombia.
Meghan, 43, wore a black striped maxi dress from Colombian designer Johanna Ortiz and a gold “Imperial Dic Pendant” from Ariel Gordon Jewelry. The necklace is personalized with the names of her children, “Archie” and “Lilibet.” Meghan and Harry, 39, welcomed son Prince Archie , 5, in May 2019, and daughter Princess Lilibet, 3, in June 2021.
Harry, for his part, wore a bright blue button-down shirt and khaki pants for the couple’s visit to the school. This is not the first time Meghan has worn jewelry to honor her children. In August 2021, she released a video with Melissa McCarthy in honor of her 40th birthday, in which she wore two diamond necklaces with Archie and Lilibet’s respective zodiac signs — Taurus and Gemini.
Created by designer Logan Hollowell , the Gemini design featured 11 diamonds and was valued at $1,785, while the eight-diamond Taurus necklace cost $1,600. While visiting Escuela Tambores de Cabildo on Saturday, Meghan and Prince Harry were all smiles as they participated in a drum lesson led by students at the school, which preserves the traditional art form of African drumming.
