Your support makes all the difference.The Duchess of Sussex appeared to pay tribute to her newborn son by wearing a special necklace for a surprise appearance at this year's Wimbledon Championship.
On Thursday, the duchess took her seat in the Royal Box on Centre Court to support her close friend Serena Williams in her victorious second-round match against Kaja Juvan.
Meghan donned a casual look for the fourth day of the tennis tournament, wearing a white striped L'Agence blazer, a black Lavender Hill top, a pair of Finlay and Co sunglasses and a pair of jeans.
While the duchess' laid-back look has drawn praise on social media, the most interesting aspect of her outfit was her subtle choice of jewellery.
The royal wore a gold necklace with a small "A" charm hanging at the centre, in an apparent nod to her two-month-old son Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.
The delicate necklace worn by the duchess is reportedly a design by Sydney-based jeweller Verse Fine Jewellery.
"Thrilled to see beautiful mama Meghan, Duchess of Sussex wearing Verse fine jewellery letter A for baby Archie when she visited Wimbledon to watch friend Serena Williams," the jeweller wrote in an Instagram caption.
One person commented on an Instagram post that it was a "lovely necklace for her little boy".
"I love the little 'A' necklace she has on!" another added.
The duchess attended Wimbledon with close friends and fellow Northwestern University alumni Lyndsay Roth and Genevieve Hillis.
Some have speculated that Roth and Hillis may be named godmothers to Archie Harrison, whose christening is due to take place at Windsor Castle on Saturday 6 July.
On Wednesday 3 July, Buckingham Palace announced that the identities of Prince Harry and Meghan's son's godparents will remain private "in keeping with their wishes".
