Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, paid tribute to Princess Diana by wearing a piece of her jewelry during an insightful interview with Oprah Winfrey.

In her and Prince Harry's first major television appearance since leaving their roles as leading members of royalty, Meghan can be seen wearing the sparkling diamond bracelet once owned by her late mother-in-law.

The item, from French luxury brand Cartier, was reportedly worn by Diana in public several times before her death.

Harry is believed to have taken stones from the same bracelet to produce the engagement ring with which he was proposed to Meghan in 2017.

It is not the first time that Meghan has worn the bracelet, as she appeared to do so during a royal tour in 2018. She also wore a ring owned by Harry's mother before the couple's wedding reception that same year.

In the extensive interview, which aired Sunday night on CBS, Prince Harry told Winfrey that Princess Diana would have been "very sad" over the couple's decision to walk away from the royal family.

“I think she would be very upset by how this has developed, and very sad.

But ultimately, all she would want is for us to be happy, "he said, adding that he" felt her presence throughout this process. "

Meghan also sported a gold and aquamarine necklace from British designer Pippa Small, who markets her designs as handcrafted and ethically sourced.

The Duchess of Sussex, who is expecting the couple's second child, who was revealed during the interview to be a girl, completed her look with earrings from Canadian jeweler Birks.

Speaking to UK Town and Country magazine ahead of the couple's CBS interview, Small said Meghan "really helped to highlight ethical fashion and jewelry by choosing brands like ours."

"Meghan has made a wider audience aware of what ethical means and why it is important," he added.

Meghan has earned a reputation for choosing ethical and sustainable brands.

She wore a dress by Stella McCartney, one of the first responsible fashion promoters, to her wedding night reception.

It was also named the most powerful clothing of 2019 by the global fashion search platform Lyst, which said its outfits had caused, on average, a 216% increase in searches for similar pieces.

The black Armani dress that she wore for the interview with Winfrey is made entirely of silk and was produced in Italy.

The dress, which is embroidered with lotus flowers, is described on the label as "sensual with a subtle and refined touch."

Cartier did not immediately respond to CNN's request for comment.
