Did the Queen make a subtle tribute to Harry and Meghan through her jewellery?
Queen Elizabeth has one of the world's largest collections of brooches with each one carefully chosen to compliment her outfits. Her Majesty has shown off three different brooches across the weekend as she carried out a number of engagements as the G7 Summit was held in southern England. But one of the Queen's brooches, in particular, has piqued the interest of royal watchers who suggest it was chosen as a subtle nod to Prince Harry and Meghan.

But the choice of name has come under fire amid accusations Harry didn't ask his grandmother for permission before using such a personal name. Lilibet is the childhood nickname of the Queen used by her family and her late husband Prince Philip. Much has been made over whether the Queen is happy about her 11th great-grandchild sharing her intimate name.

Her Majesty wore the Millet brooch, gifted to her by the President of Botswana in 2007 at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Uganda. It features 11 pear-shaped diamonds set in yellow gold that form a spray of sorghum (millet), the main crop of Botswana. Botswana is a country that has close ties to Prince Harry and Meghan.

Speaking of that trip during his engagement interview with the BBC Harry said, "I managed to persuade her to come join me in Botswana, and we camped out with each other under the stars". And Meghan's engagement ring features a central diamond sourced from Botswana, alongside two stones taken from the jewellery collection of Princess Diana. In 2017 Harry said of the country, "This is where I feel more like myself than anywhere else in the world". Meghan Markle wearing her engagement ring prior to marrying Prince Harry, in 2018.

And during her final engagement of the weekend - hosting the Bidens at Windsor Castle - the Queen wore her Jardine Star brooch. Featuring a collet diamond surrounded by eight points, the piece is one of the Queen's most loved pieces and came into her collection in 1981 by someone called Lady Jardine. Her exact identity remains a mystery.
