In a shocking turn of events, Prince William has accused Meghan Markle of stealing Kate Middleton’s treasured gold Cartier watch.
The watch in question is a significant heirloom that once belonged to Princess Diana and was subsequently passed down to her two sons, William and Harry, after her tragic death.
The accusations against Meghan extend beyond just the gold Cartier watch.
It is alleged that she has also kept several other valuable pieces of jewelry that rightfully belong to the royal family.
One such item is a rare aquamarine ring given to Diana by Harry on her wedding day.
Additionally, Meghan is said to possess a golden sapphire bracelet that was once worn by Diana herself.
While the exact value of the jewelry that Meghan allegedly took is still uncertain, the fact that she possesses these items raises questions about the validity of the accusations.
The National Enquirer has reported inflated estimates of the stolen jewelry’s worth, but the mere presence of these heirlooms in Meghan’s possession cannot be ignored.
Of particular concern to Prince William is the gold Cartier watch.
Originally, William received this watch while Harry inherited their mother’s diamond and sapphire engagement ring.
However, in 2009, when William was preparing to propose to Kate Middleton, he passed on the gold Cartier watch to Harry, who later gave it to Meghan.
According to Woman’s Day, tensions within the palace escalated when Meghan was seen wearing a watch similar to the one owned by Princess Diana.
A source close to the royal family claims that Prince William was furious upon seeing Meghan wearing the watch.
His anger stems not only from the alleged theft but also from his disappointment in Harry and Meghan’s decision to distance themselves from the royal family and release a biased biography.
The source further reveals that William often wonders what Diana would think of his brother’s actions.
The possibility that Harry may have given Meghan one of their mother’s watches intensifies William’s anger.
It is clear that he expected Meghan to be delighted with the exchange, considering her previous fondness for the Cartier French Tank Watch.
In 2015, Meghan confessed her admiration for the watch and even purchased her own two-tone model, engraving it with her name and expressing her intention to pass it on to her future daughter.
Meghan’s ownership of the solid gold upgrade has not gone unnoticed, and she has been photographed wearing the watch on multiple occasions.
However, even this seemingly innocent gesture has sparked controversy.
Meghan often chooses to stack her watch with other bracelets and bangles, which some view as disrespectful to the significance of Diana’s watch.
This practice raises concerns about potential damage to the valuable timepiece and suggests that Meghan may simply be trying to outdo Kate in acquiring her favorite possessions.
Critics argue that burying the Cartier watch amidst a collection of random accessories is questionable at best and outright disrespectful at worst.
The sentiment was echoed in an Instagram comment, stating, “You don’t stack heirloom jewelry.”
This reaction highlights the public’s perception of Meghan’s actions and the scrutiny she faces in every aspect of her life.
As the accusations continue to swirl, it remains to be seen how the royal family will address this matter.
The alleged theft of valuable heirlooms has undoubtedly strained relations between William and Harry, adding another layer of complexity to the already complicated dynamics within the royal family.
