The Duchess of Sussex might have celebrated her 40th birthday on Wednesday, but we're still not over the gorgeous at-home outfit that she wore to mark the occasion with actress Melissa McCarthy.

Meghan looked beautiful wrapped up in creamy cashmere and wearing some of her most treasured jewellery, including two new constellation necklaces that represented the star signs of her two children, Archie and Lili.

In fact, we've taken a closer look at the jewels she chose to wear in the tongue-in-cheek Instagram video, which saw the royal call on 40 of her friends to offer 40 minutes of mentorship to a woman in need.
