Touching meaning behind Meghan Markle's necklace worn for royal baby reveal

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry looked delighted to reveal their newborn son to the world this afternoon - with the Duchess choosing some very appropriate jewellery for the occasion.

As they stepped out in Windsor Castle, Harry clutched the little one while Meghan hooked her arm around his and walked alongside her husband.

The pair spoke about their first two days of parenting, with Meghan saying it was "magical".

Along with a white shirt dress, Meghan wore a gold and turquoise gem necklace by Jen Meyer and earrings by Adina Reyter.

Turquoise is regarded as the love charm and is also a symbol of good fortune and success - maybe hinting at her love and hopes for health and happiness for her son.

Speaking about her first few days as a mum, the Duchess said: "It's magic, it's pretty amazing. I have the two best guys in the world so I'm really happy."

The new mum described her son as a "dream", adding: "He's just been the dream so it's been a special couple of days."

The American former actress gave birth to the overdue 7lb 3oz boy on Monday at 5.26am.

The baby, whose name has not yet been announced, is seventh in line to the throne and the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh's eighth great-grandchild and the Prince of Wales's fourth grandchild.

Amid surroundings steeped in royal history, the latest royal baby made his debut behind closed doors, with a small press pool of only one reporter, one photographer, three cameramen, as well as the couple's own private photographer and a household press officer photographer.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry bumped into somebody very special when walking to baby photocall  

Asked who the baby takes after, Meghan said: "We're still trying to figure that out."

Harry said: "Everyone says that babies change so much over two weeks. We're basically monitoring how the changing process happens over this next month really. But his looks are changing every single day, so who knows."

Baby Sussex was sleeping soundly, wrapped in a white blanket and wearing a delicate white knitted hat.

Asked how he was finding parenting, Harry said: "It's great. Parenting is amazing.

"It's only been two-and-a-half days, three days, but we're just so thrilled to have our own little bundle of joy."

Harry said they were looking forward to spending some "precious times with him as he slowly, slowly starts to grow up."
