Meghan Markle was seen stepping out in California alongside Prince Harry with a $30,000 diamond necklace that glittered around her neck.
In a new photograph shared by royal author Elizabeth Holmes, the Sussexes were attending a launch party for Godmothers bookstore in Santa Barbara.
Elizabeth Holmes, author of HRH: So Many Thoughts on Royal Style, shared a photograph alongside Harry and Meghan on her personal Instagram.
The post was shared with the caption: "I was invited to the opening weekend festivities of @godmothersbooks, a new bookstore in this picturesque oceanside enclave - along with Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, as well as Oprah Winfrey and more from the rarefied Montecito set."
According to royal style blog, Royal Fashion Police, Meghan's necklace is a new addition in her ever-growing jewellery collection.
She wore the '18k Fortuna Tennis Necklace with Diamonds in Yellow Gold' from Logan Hollowell - a piece that sets its wearer back $30,000 (£23,261), reports Hello!
It's not clear when the diamonds came into Meghan's possession. However the necklace's hidden meaning of embodying luck and fortune suggest it may have been a birthday present from Prince Harry.
The jeweller writes: "Introducing the 18k Fortuna Tennis Necklace with Diamonds, a divine embodiment of luck and fortune inspired by the Roman goddess herself. Fortuna, the goddess of fortune and luck, serves as the muse for this exquisite piece, seamlessly blending elegance with the whims of fate."

ReutersWhile the Duchess is still yet to see a total positive rating higher than 50 per cent, 18-24-year-olds surveyed by YouGov handed Meghan a 48 per cent positive score, and a net 18 per cent positive rating.
Some 30 per cent of the group rated Meghan either fairly or very negatively - but among young Britons, only three other royals were ranked higher than the duchess.
When looking at net favourability, Gen Zs in the UK were more taken in by Prince William at 20 per cent, Princess Anne at 22 per cent, and Princess Kate at 23 per cent.
