Meghan Markle’s jewelry choices are paying a subtle tribute to her two children.
The Duchess of Sussex cheered on her husband at the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club in California over the weekend — andgave him a congratulatory kissas she presented the team with awards for winning the tournament.
Meghan, 40, stepped out in a black-and-white polka dot blouse and white shorts, accessorizing with a black wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses. She also wore one of hergo-to initial necklaces, which features an “A” for the couple’s 3-year-old son, Archie Harrison.
But daughterLilibet Diana, who turns 1 on June 4, wasn’t forgotten — Meghan also sported a new gold ring with an “L” initial.

An observer at the polo club tells PEOPLE that despite his status as sixth in the line of succession to the British throne,Prince Harry “is just one of the guys"when it comes to his weekend polo tournaments.
“Prince Harrylooks so comfortable and happy on the polo field, and everyone treats him like he is just one of the guys!” the observer says.
The observer adds, “His presence this season has brought a really cool vibe to the club, but it hasn’t changed the way the games have been played — it’s business as usual and all the teams are fighting for the win.”
