Prince Harry, the younger son of the late Princess Diana, has been vocal about keeping his mother’s memory and legacy alive. One way he includes the former Princess of Wales in his daily life is by sharing some of her treasured jewelry with his wife, Meghan Markle.

Meghan was spotted Saturday during the couple’s trip to Nigeria wearing a delicate diamond cross pendant on a gold chain, a necklace that once belonged to Princess Diana. According to People, the sweet jewelry was a recent gift from Harry to Meghan.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are spending a handful of days abroad without their two children, appearing at engagements around the Invictus Games and their other efforts. Harry, for instance, played volleyball against wounded veterans. He lost.

Meghan doesn’t just dust off her late mother-in-law’s jewels for special occasions: Two of the diamonds in her tri-stone engagement ring also belonged to Diana, and Harry had them set into the special piece of jewelry for his 2017 proposal so his mother would part of the occasion.

She began wearing Diana’s pieces immediately after marrying Harry, donning an aquamarine cocktail ring belonging to her for her wedding reception, keeping it very visible as the newlyweds waved to admirers from their car, and has been spotted wearing a Cartier watch that Diana favored. She also integrates color schemes and nods at the mother-in-law she never met with fashion choices alongside her jewelry pulls, and was reportedly dubbed “Di 2” by some palace insiders early in her royal career.
