The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have announced the exciting news that they are expecting their first child together – and it seems that is a moment Meghan has been preparing for for many years.
In fact the mother-to-be already has a gift lined up for her future child, if it’s a girl, which she purchased before she had even met Prince Harry.
In an interview back in 2015, almost a year before she began dating her now husband, the then actress revealed the heirloom piece she plans to give to her daughter.
Speaking to Hello! magazine she said: ‘I’ve always coveted the Cartier French Tank watch – I totally splurged and bought the two-tone version.

‘I had it engraved on the back, “To M.M. From M.M.” and I plan to give it to my daughter one day.
‘That’s what makes pieces special, the connection you have to them.’
The classic wristwear retails at almost £5,000 and the engraving is thought to stand for ‘to Meghan Markle from Meghan Markle’ as it was a gift to herself to celebrate the third season of Suits.
However, the message could well influence the couple’s name choice if they do have a little girl as she would inherit the timepiece, and so they could opt with a moniker beginning with M to reflect the engraving.
It is not yet known whether the couple are expecting a boy or a girl and the public are unlikely to find out until its birth next Spring.

The happy news came hours after the couple were seen beaming as they touched down in Sydney for their first major international tour since their Windsor Castle wedding in May.
Announcing their baby, who will be the Queen’s eighth great-grandchild, Kensington Palace said today: ‘Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Sussex is expecting a baby in the Spring of 2019. Their Royal Highnesses have appreciated all of the support they have received from people around the world since their wedding in May and are delighted to be able to share this happy news with the public’.
Kensington Palace announced the news on Monday and said that the couple are ‘delighted’

Meghan is said to be in ‘good health’ and they have had a successful 12 week scan – suggesting that the baby is due in late April, possibly around St George’s Day.
Last month her mother Doria Ragland was also seen taking baby-care classes in Pasadena, California and royal sources have said she may move to London from the US to help her look after the baby because Meghan does not want to hire a nanny.
Ms Ragland issued a statement saying she was ‘very happy at this lovely news and is looking forward to welcoming her first grandchild’- but Kensington Palace declined to comment on whether her father, Thomas Markle, had been told.
The new royal baby is expected to take the surname Sussex in the same way that Prince William’s children, George, Charlotte and Louis have taken his title Cambridge as their last name at school and nursery.
In the same way, Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice have previously used the surname York, after their father’s title Prince Andrew, the Duke of York.
But the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s baby will not be a prince nor a princess unless the Queen steps in.
