Meghan Markle debuts a new $4,100 Logan Hollowell choker necklace in New York — and it’s a sweet tribute to Prince Archie!

Meghan Markle paid a sweet tribute to her son Archie by wearing a necklace featuring his birthstone at an event in New York to mark World Mental Health Day.

The Archewell Foundation Parents’ Summit was the first-ever in-person event for the foundation, named after Meghan and Prince Harry’s son.

Meghan’s quintessentially stylish $987 white off-the-shoulder Altuzarra blazer was the perfect piece to show off her new $4,100 Queen Emerald Cut Cuban Choker.

The beautiful 14-karat solid gold choker from the Los Angeles-based jewelry brand Logan Hollowell has a bezel set with Colombian Emerald.

Meghan loves meaningful accessories and the classic emerald stone is said to inspire healing and friendship, adding a new dimension to the Duchess of Sussex’s choice for the mental health summit.

This isn’t the first time Meghan has honored her children with pieces from the LA-based brand.

In 2021, the mother of two shared a sweet tribute to her two children with a necklace featuring their zodiac stars, celebrating her 40th birthday.

The Duchess wore a dainty silver necklace that resembled the astrological signs of Tauras Archie, born in May 2018, and Lillibet, a Gemini, born in June 2021.

She wore the $1,785 necklace in a clip on the Archewell website, where she chatted with Hollywood actress Melissa McCarthy via video call.

Last October, the Duchess also debuted an additional tribute necklace from the LA-based designer.

The former actress was spotted shopping in Montecito wearing a necklace featuring four-year-old Archie’s emerald gemstone birthstone.

Unlike the piece Meghan wore yesterday, the Baby Queen Water Drop Emerald Solitaire necklace featured a pear-shaped Zambian emerald.

The Logan Hollowell piece cost $3,450 and was made of 14-karat gold with a gold solitaire halo.

For yesterday’s event, Meghan chose to style her locks in her signature bun: a casual yet sophisticated updo.

Elsewhere, Prince Harry looked dapper in a navy blue suit for the event, which was launched to highlight Harry and Meghan’s charity activities.

The couple were all smiles as they arrived at the venue, but they appeared to become emotional once the event got underway, and both looked incredibly somber as the panel began – with parents who have suffered ‘tragic losses related to the use of social media by their child’ ‘ take the stage to share their stories.

They revealed at the event that they have been working behind the scenes with parents over the past year to ‘create a community of shared experiences’, with Harry and Meghan taking to the stage later in the event to thank all the parents. mothers and fathers sharing their stories.

“I can’t begin without thanking all the parents, the mothers and fathers who have been here today for being here physically today, but also for their journey over the past year that has created this community of shared experiences,” Harry said in a video shared by The Hollywood Reporter.

“We know it’s not easy for you to be here, so thank you very much.”

Meanwhile, Meghan admitted she was left in tears by some of the stories the parents told when they first met.

“When we met some of the families a year ago, not all of them, it was impossible not to be in tears because I’m sure so many of you have heard these stories today,” she said.

“You can hear these stories over and over again, and it will still have the same emotional impact because it’s so devastating.”

Meghan then shared her fears for her own children, who are growing up in a time when social media plays such a big role in everyone’s lives.

“As parents, even though our kids are very young, they’re two and a half and four and a half… but social media isn’t going away,” she continued.

“I think by design there was an entry point that was supposed to be positive in creating a community and something was conveyed, and there’s no way to hear that and not try to help these families tell their stories to belong.’

In a video shared by Huffington Post reporter Carly Ledbetter, Meghan described her role as a mother as the “most important thing in her life… outside of being a wife” to Harry, before opening up about her concerns regarding their children Archie and Lilibet via social media.

“Being a mother is the most important thing in my entire life…other than being a wife to this one, of course,” she said, when Carson asked her how much of a “priority” social media safety is to her, as a mother of two young children.

“But I will say that I feel fortunate that our children are at an age that, again, is still quite young, so this is not in our immediate future, but I also fear the way it continues to change.

“And this will be before us. As they say, “As a parent, the days are long, but the years are short.” So it worries me, but I also get a lot of hope and a lot of energy from the progress we’ve made over the past year.”

Another video taken at the event and posted to Twitter shows Meghan hugging some of the speakers as they walked off stage after addressing the gathered crowd.

Yesterday’s event, at which the couple was joined by Today show host Carson and U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy, marks their first appearance together in New York since the infamous ‘car chase’ they became embroiled in in May after attending the Women of Vision awards.

For the occasion, the pair appeared to have taken some rather strict measures to ensure their safety – with a high-profile NYPD escort accompanying their SUV fleet to the event venue at Hudson Yards.

Questions still remain about Harry and Meghan’s account of the chase, which was described as “nearly catastrophic” in a statement from the couple’s spokesperson.

The spokesperson said the couple, as well as Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland, were victims of a “relentless pursuit lasting over two hours” by “very aggressive paparazzi.”

It has been suggested that they were trying not to be followed to their residence on the city’s Upper East Side.

However, New York police subsequently told NBC that they did not believe the chase was “nearly catastrophic,” describing it instead as a “bit of a chaotic scene.”

Julian Phillips, New York’s deputy commissioner for public information, also revealed that the NYPD was “assisting” the couple’s private security team.

Meanwhile, New York Mayor Eric Adams expressed empathy – describing the paparazzi’s actions as “reckless” and “irresponsible” – but said he would find it “hard to believe” that a two-hour chase high speed occurred.

For the event, Harry and Meghan seemingly took every precaution, arriving at Hudson Yards in a fleet of blacked-out vehicles, driving straight into an underground garage, where they were quickly surrounded by several security guards.
