October 17, 2020Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry have posed for a beautiful new black-and-white portrait, which also features the Duchess of Sussex paying a sweet, subtle tribute to Princess Diana.
Matt Sayles took the gorgeous image, which is being used by TIME to promote the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s upcoming TIME100 Talk, scheduled for Oct. 20. In the picture, Harry smiles at the camera, while Meghan laughs and rests her arm on his knee. She’s wearing an Alexander McQueen suit, and the couple look relaxed and happy.

Eagle-eyed royals fans will probably notice the Duchess of Sussex’s left wrist she’s wearing a gold watch, and it looks like it may be the late Princess of Wales’s Cartier Tank Française watch.
Meghan also owns a two-tone version of the watch, which she bought in 2015 to celebrate Suits being renewed for a third season.

If it is Diana’s watch, it isn’t the only item Meghan has inherited from Diana. She wore a ring that once belonged to her late mother-in-law on her wedding day. During the Sussexes’ tour of Australia, New Zealand, Tonga and Fiji in 2018, the duchess also wore a pair of butterfly earrings and a gold bracelet that once belonged to Diana.
Meghan’s engagement ring also contains two smaller stones from Diana’s collection, along with one diamond from Botswana. In the couple’s engagement interview, Harry said he wanted Meghan to have two of his late mother’s jewels “to make sure that she’s with us on this crazy journey together.”
“Everything about Harry’s thoughtfulness and the inclusion of [Princess Diana’s stones] and obviously not being able to meet his mom, it’s so important to me to know that she’s a part of this with us,” Meghan also said in the interview with BBC at the time.
Diana would have loved Meghan, so we’re thrilled to see the Duchess of Sussex paying tribute to her!
