Meghan Markle Already Has a Present For Her First Child—and It Hints At Their Name
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s first child won’t be here until spring 2019, but he or she is already a celebrity in their own right. In keeping with the news frenzy surrounding the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s announcement, Entertainment Tonight has unearthed an old interview from Hello! magazine in which Markle revealed she already has a present in store for her unborn child.
“I’ve always coveted the Cartier French Tank watch,” she told Hello! back in 2015. “When I found out Suits had been picked up for our third season—which, at the time, felt like such a milestone—I totally splurged and bought the two-tone version.”
While that’s already quite a fitting gift for a tiny royal-to-be (ET discovered it retails for around $6,900), it’s what she says next that might clue us in to Markle and Prince Harry’s baby name choices.
“I had it engraved on the back, ‘To M.M. From M.M,'” she added. “And I plan to give it to my daughter one day. That’s what makes pieces special, the connection you have to them.”

If Markle decides to stick with what she said in the interview, then she might be thinking about naming the child something that starts with ‘M’ (and maybe even with a matching middle name) to make the inscription all the more special. Of course, the duchess could have changed her mind since then (and it’d be a cool gift even if the baby’s initials aren’t M.M.), but it’s something to keep in mind as you place your baby name bets.
