Meghan Markle was reportedly told off by palace officials after she was photographed in 2016 wearing a necklace with the letters “M” and “H” on it.

The necklace, from Canadian jewellers, The Right Hand Gal, seemingly irked the hierarchy at the palace, after Meghan was spotted carrying a bouquet of flowers in Toronto, wearing the $230 14-carat gold chain.

In an extract from a new biography about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, called Finding Freedom, authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand claim the duchess was advised in a call that wearing the necklace was encouraging photographers to take photos of her and causing the headlines the couples got at the time.

Meghan reportedly “said little during the call, choosing instead to simply listen to the counsel. But after hanging up, she felt frustrated and emotional. While she knew the aide had good intentions, the surreal experience of having someone from her boyfriend’s office tell her what kind of jewelry to wear or not to smile at a photographer was too much,” the extract reads, according to People.

It’s reported that a ‘distraught’ Meghan called her friend saying she “felt damned if she did and damned if she didn’t.”

While reports claimed the necklace was bought for Meghan by Harry, the jewellers actually told Meghan fan account meghansmirror.com that her best friend, Jessica Mulroney commissioned the piece for the duchess.

Meghan was again seen wearing the necklace in October 2018 when she visited Cockatoo Island in Sydney with Prince Harry to watch the Jaguar Land Rover Driving Challenge at the Invictus Games.

The Right Hand Gal sells the ‘Meghan Necklace’ on their website and also released a special creation with a crown on it around the time of the royal wedding in 2018.

Finding Freedom, which Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are said to have had no involvement in, makes a series of controversial claims, including that Prince Harry called Prince William a ‘snob’ after he told him to to “take as much time as you need to get to know this girl”
