MUST READ: Mumbai's iconic Dabbawalas have a very special gift for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's new-born son Archie, here's what it is

Mumbai's famed Dabbawalas plan to gift a special set of silver jewellery to Britain's Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle's newborn Prince Archie. 

"We shall present the baby with a typical Maharashtrian gift packet comprising silver 'kamarpatta' (waist-band), a pair of wristband (toda) and anklets (wala)," Mumbai Dabbawalas Association spokesperson Subhash Talekar told the news agency. He explained that as per Maharashtrian traditions, the grandfather gifts these three items on the birth of a grandson.

When asked for the proposed value of these gifts, Talekar replied diplomatically: "We would have loved to present these auspicious items in gold, but we are constrained by resources. It is not the value of the gift but the thought that is valued. And this will be adorned by the blessings of all the Dabbawalas."On Friday, a group of Dabbawalas will scour some of the reputed jewellers in Mumbai for shopping the best-design items for Prince Archie to make it a memorable gift, who is, so to say, already "born with a silver spoon".
