The Duchess of Sussex sported an eclectic collection of jewellery as she made an appearance at the star-studded Vax Live telecast yesterday. Does Meghan Markle see Fergie as an unlikely role model? Meghan has long been a fan of Carolina Herrera, having opted to wear the designer several times during her time in the royal family. Meghan Markle, 39, piled on stacks of jewels as she appeared in a pre-recorded message from her $14 million Californian mansion at the concert yesterday in which she claimed COVID has wiped out a generation of progress for women of color. The Duchess, who is known for her love of expensive designer clothing and symbolic jewellery, opted to wear a red £1,200 Carolina Herrera shirt dress emblazoned with poppies for the occasion. During her appearance yesterday, she donned the Poppy Print Tie Waist Shirtdress which is described online as a flowery silk shirtdress styled with a tie-cinched waist and flowy A-line midi skirt. Meanwhile she paired the look with a stack of gold jewellery, including Princess Diana’s £17,800 Cartier watch, a £5,000 Cartier bracelet, £2,361 bracelet and a £102 necklace featuring a ‘woman’s power’ charm (check this site out). On the last day of their royal tour of Morocco, the royal swept into a meeting with King Mohammed VI in a custom version of a £3,222 chiffon gown from Herrera’s AW19 collection.

The Duchess of Sussex is a fan of wearing several pieces of jewellery at once, bucking the royal trend for keeping accessories to a minimum. The elegant timepiece was worn by Diana at a number of occasions, including a 1997 visit to London’s Shri Swaminarayan Mandir Hindu Temple and an engagement at the British Lung Foundation that same year. She also wore a Cartier Tank Française watch, as pictured, gifted by Harry that once belonged to Princess Diana. From M.M.’ and I plan to give it to my daughter one day.

Yet the watch is a favorite and she has been spotted wearing it often. It’s a feeling of joy we share with millions of other families around the world. Prince Harry appeared in person, but Meghan reportedly pulled out at the last minute. The only way to remove it is with a screwdriver, like the 18-carat one supplied – a feature said to be inspired by medieval chastity belts. The Duke of Windsor and Wallis Simpson each had earlier versions of the Cartier Love Bracelet as well. The watch had been gifted to Diana by her father on her 21st birthday. This was also thought to be a present from Harry, gifted before the couple were engaged.

So our goal is that the Welsh Government should gradually become a truly bilingual organisation; one in which it is routine for the Welsh and English languages to both be used naturally and interchangeably. The First Minister has also pledged to “mainstream” the Welsh language into the development of policy and to the way we work more generally. The year 2050: the Welsh language is thriving, the number of speakers has reached a million, and it is used in every aspect of life. This is something we can all do together. But its future across Wales cannot be taken for granted. This is the Welsh Government’s vision for the Welsh language in Wales (Cymraeg 2050: A million Welsh speakers, Welsh Government, 2017). It is to see, by 2050, a million speakers using the language in every aspect of their lives, and doubling the percentage of people in Wales who speak and use the language daily. Set in this context, the Welsh Government’s goal for the Welsh language within the organisation is that by 2050 all staff working for the Welsh Government will be able to understand Welsh. We are proud of the Welsh language and want it to thrive. The Welsh language – y Gymraeg – is integral to our culture, our heritage and our daily lives. Welsh is spoken for cultural, commercial, social and emotional reasons, but it is also a vocational skill – a skill that should be better recognised and utilised.

An important part of the vision involves renewing the association between the language and the workplace. There is an onus on us to take proactive steps to support and increase the use of the language, and to pass it on to future generations. It is part of our shared inheritance and identity as a nation.
