Meghan Markle has been known to use her influential wardrobe to send a message, and her latest appearance was no exception.

In the latest of just a few appearances since returning to the United States, the Duchess of Sussex sat down with Emily Ramshaw, CEO of The 19th, a non-profit newsroom dedicated to reporting on gender, politics and policy. The duo discussed the role of race and gender in the media, and the importance of voting in this year’s presidential election.

Touching upon her experience as a biracial woman in America and her life as a new mother, the 39-year-old royal said that it’s “good to be home,” despite the many challenges currently facing the country.

The Duchess was dressed for the occasion in an orange Hugo Boss tank top, which she accessorized with one of her favourite pieces of sentimental jewelry.

Along with a gold Cartier Love bracelet, Meghan wore a Linear Friendship Bracelet designed by Monica Vinader, which happens to feature a hidden meaning in every bracelet.

Featuring a simple curved bar made from rose gold, the Linear Friendship Bracelet is available in a range of different colours, with each one representing a particular emotion.

Messages like strength, positivity, and imagination are all included in the collection of colourful bracelets, along with harmony — the sentiment of choice in the rose-coloured bracelet that was spotted on the Duchess.

Meghan has been seen wearing the $230 friendship bracelet frequently over the past few weeks, including while speaking as a panelist at this year’s U.N. Foundation Girl Up Leadership Summit, as well as including during her graduation address to the students of her L.A. alma mater, Immaculate Heart High School.

While the bracelet is beautiful and offers a sweet sentimental message, it does come with a steep price tag of $230. If you’re after a similar look that doesn’t break the bank, we’ve also gathered a few similar friendship bracelets to shop below.

Exclusive-Trump team asks three US senior career diplomats to resign, sources say
Aides to President-elect Donald Trump have asked three senior career diplomats who oversee the U.S. State Department's workforce and internal coordination to step down from their roles, two U.S. officials familiar with the matter said, in a possible signal of deeper changes ahead for the diplomatic corps. The team overseeing the State Department's transition to the new administration, the Agency Review Team, has requested that Dereck Hogan, Marcia Bernicat and Alaina Teplitz leave their posts, the sources said. While political appointees typically submit their resignations when a new president takes office, most career foreign service officers continue from one administration to the next.

North Korea's suicide soldiers pose new challenge for Ukraine in war with Russia
After a battle in Russia's snowy western region of Kursk this week, Ukrainian special forces scoured the bodies of more than a dozen slain North Korean enemy soldiers. But it is among mounting evidence from the battlefield, intelligence reports and testimonies of defectors that some North Korean soldiers are resorting to extreme measures as they support Russia's three-year war with Ukraine. "Self-detonation and suicides: that's the reality about North Korea," said Kim, a 32-year-old former North Korean soldier who defected to the South in 2022, requesting he only be identified by his surname due to fears of reprisals against his family left in the North.
