Absence of Princess Diana’s jewellery sparks concerns within royal circles
Prince William is reportedly concerned over the whereabouts of a piece of jewellery that once belonged to his late mother, Princess Diana, and was given to Meghan Markle. The engagement ring, featuring two diamonds from Diana’s collection, was presented to Meghan by Harry in 2017. Less than two years later, the ring was redesigned with a thinner band and was last prominently displayed by Meghan at the Trooping the Colour in 2019.
Recently, Meghan has been spotted without the ring at several high-profile events, including the Invictus Games last month. While it was previously reported that the ring was "being repaired," its absence has raised concerns. According to a source speaking to New Idea, William is reportedly seeking answers through mutual contacts, alarmed by the jewellery’s disappearance.
The source explained that William’s attachment to his mother’s legacy, particularly her jewellery, is deeply personal. The significance of each piece, and the memories tied to them, make the situation all the more unsettling for him. William’s protective nature over Diana’s jewellery has prompted questions about why Meghan isn’t wearing the ring, sparking concerns within the royal family.
