Meghan Markle’s crystal necklace has a hidden meaning

When Meghan Markle made a FaceTime cameo during Prince Harry’s recent appearance on “The Late Late Show with James Corden,” she did so wearing a crystal necklace with special significance.

As confirmed to Page Six Style on Tuesday, the Duchess of Sussex, 39, paired her $30 puff-sleeved Velvet Torch dress with a far pricier piece: a $1,295 trapezoid-shaped lapis lazuli pendant from The Airelume, the “collection of wearable talismans” by her friend Taryn Toomey’s brand, The Class.

“Lapis lazuli aids in self-expression and revelation of one’s inner truth,” the product description reads. “This stone is widely regarded as a token of sincerity and wisdom – and is especially helpful to anyone in need of a boost in self-confidence and a stronger connection to their inner voice.”

Markle’s brief appearance on “The Late Late Show” came just days before the Sussexes’ explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey, during which the Duchess said she felt “liberated” to finally be able to speak for herself. The tell-all touched on topics ranging from racism to mental health.

It makes sense that Markle would pick a piece from Toomey’s jewelry line; she’s been pals with the fitness guru for years, and Toomey was even in attendance at her star-studded NYC baby shower in 2019, when the Duchess was pregnant with son Archie.

And it’s far from the first time she’s sent a message with her choice of accessories; for her sit-down with Winfrey, she wore Princess Diana’s diamond tennis bracelet as a way to keep her late mother-in-law close, according to her spokesperson.

And before confirming that she and Prince Harry, 36, are expecting a baby girl, Markle seemed to hint at her second child’s sex with a pink sapphire ring.
