MEGHAN Markle once revealed exactly what she would like to receive for Mother’s Day – and her list was very boujee indeed.
Before she married Prince Harry, the former Suits actress uploaded a gift guide to her blog at the time, The Tig, and it included six items she would want.

On the now-defunct page, the Duchess of Sussex, 43, wrote: “To all of the wonderful mamas in this world, thank you. For all the lessons, for all the love. For you.”
Now she is mother to Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three, she now has kids of her own to help her celebrate the special day.
Included in the six items in her Mother’s Day guide is Lacoste Sensuelle Eau de Parfum.
Although the perfume has now been discontinued, it is selling on eBay for around £100 for a 50ml bottle.
We’ve seen with her recent With Love, Meghan cooking show on Netflix that she likes to whip up tasty treats in the kitchen.
And this passion was seen way back in her Tig days, as the list also included a cookery book – Clean Eats book by Alejandro Junger, which retails for £12.86 and over 200 healthy recipes.
Next, Meghan picked a gold necklace that spelled out “laugh” with a diamond stone in the chain.
It was the SHY BY SELaugh Pendant Bezel Diamond Necklace, which was available from luxury department store Bergdorf Goodman, but is currently unavailable.
Other similar pendant necklaces sell for $590 (£460) in the designer shop.
Her Mother’s Day gift guide also featured three further products that were very on-brand for her healthy Californian lifestyle, which she has now returned to after stepping down as a working royal with Prince Harry in 2020.

The final items on the list were a ‘Magic Carpet’ yoga mat that retails for $99 (£77), a £69 NutriBullet machine and a boho-style robe.
The list could also be items she has previously bought for her yoga-instructor mum Doria Ragland, who lives nearby to the Sussexes’ £12million Montecito mansion.

Kate’s modest Mother’s Day

On the other side of the pond, the Princess of Wales could have a slightly less expensive Mother’s Day on Sunday.
Previously Kate Middleton shared how Prince George made her an adorable homemade card for Mother’s Day.
The then-six-year-old had made a bunch of flowers in a vase using paper and pens.
Meanwhile, in 2021, Prince George and his siblings Charlotte and Louis baked the Princess of Wales an amazing cake for Mother’s Day.
The delicious cake, adorned with hearts and smarties covered blobs of cream, was made to mark Kate’s special day.
Kate Middleton’s ‘golden rule’ with George, Charlotte and Louis
KATE’S key rule for Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis is about kindness.
According to HELLO! Online’s Royal Correspondent: “Based on observations of photographs of Princess Diana at the time, and the current Princess of Wales, they are both very affectionate with their children.
“Kate is often seen holding her children’s hands or picking them up for cuddles when they were smaller.
“There are often lots of comforting gestures, such as a pat on the back or stroking their hair. When interacting with other children on her public engagements, Kate often crouches down to their level to engage with them – something that Diana would often do.”
When she’s at the family’s home of Adelaide Cottage in Windsor, despite her royal status, insiders say Kate is just like any other “normal mum”.
A friend explained that behind closed doors, the 42-year-old is “very chilled at home” but definitely not a pushover and will tell the kids off when needed.
They told PEOPLE: “It’s a normal, busy family home with kids running around and knocking things over. There’s no airs and graces.
“She is doing that to help her children be more grounded and keep their reality in check. That’s what really matters to her.”
