Meghan Markle has worn an evil eye pendant signifying ‘protection from negative vibes’, six months after she wore the symbol to keep foes away on her and Prince Harry’s South Africa tour.
The Duchess of Sussex, 38, in her role as Smart Works patron, spoke with the British youngster virtually from her home in Los Angeles on 27 March to offer words of advice and encouragement ahead of a job interview.
