Meghan Markle Is Seen Wearing A Gold Watch On The Set Of 'Close Personal Friends'
The internet nearly broke this week when it was revealed that the As Ever founder was finally making a comeback regarding her acting career. She was recently seen on set filming a bit for the upcoming romantic comedy, Close Personal Friends, which also stars Brie Larson and Lilly Collins.
This marks the first time she's taken on a film or television gig aside from her Netflix series in seven years, as the last time she worked as a professional actress was when she filmed her final episodes for Suits, the legal drama that made her a breakout star. Then, in 2018, she announced she was leaving the show and departing for the UK to become a member of the royal family, as she married Prince Harry that year.
Photographers and reporters who caught a view of the former royal allegedly saw her with a gold watch on her wrist. This isn't the first time she's been seen wearing a gold watch; in fact, she's famously worn her husband's mother, Princess Diana's Cartier Tank Française watch, which he reportedly gifted to her. However, on set, she was allegedly seen with what might've been a Panthere De Cartier watch, according to sources from The Daily Mail.
Fans React To Meghan Markle's New Watch, Which Might've Belonged To Princess Diana
Once sources got a glimpse of the new watch the mom-of-two was wearing in California, many believe it could be the same gold watch the late and beloved Princess Diana, her mother-in-law, was gifted by her partner, Dodi Al Fayed, before she passed away in 1997.
Meghan has been seen wearing Diana's jewelry before, and while fans of hers believe it's a touching tribute to the mother-in-law she never got to meet, other royal family enthusiasts do not like seeing her wear her things, feeling they were too different from each other.
Therefore, when it was revealed that Meghan might've been wearing a new watch that previously belonged to Diana, the internet shared mixed reactions.
"Guess who she really wants to be," wrote a user.
"How dare she?" asked another.
"Ironically, it is doubtful whether Diana would have tolerated Meghan," commented a user. "Diana had a habit of seeing people for who they truly are."
