Meghan Markle Proudly Wore a Pasta Necklace Given to Her by a Cute Kid

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle [1] have had no shortage of sweet interactions with kids during their trip to Australia [2], but the most recent one might just top them all. While greeting the crowds along Government House Drive in Melbourne's Royal Botanic Gardens, Meghan spotted a young boy named Gavin who was holding a sign saying "I made you a necklace." Crouching down to meet him, she happily accepted the handmade gift and put it on immediately.

According to News.com.au, Gavin made the necklace from pasta dipped in gold paint [3], and while it's worlds away from Meghan's usual accessory choices (which often come courtesy of Princess Diana's jewelry box [4]), we reckon she pulls off the statement piece perfectly. Meghan continued to wear it as she and Harry worked the crowds, shaking hands and dishing out hugs [5] in their continued efforts to wave goodbye to old-fashioned royal protocol [6]. Take a closer look at her very special accessory ahead.
