Every Time Meghan Markle Has Worn Princess Diana's Jewelry

Before her tragic death, Princess Diana made it clear that she wanted her stunning collection of jewelry to go to her sons' future wives. In a "letter of wishes," she wrote, "I would like you to allocate all my jewellery to the share to be held by my sons, so that their wives may, in due course, have it or use it. I leave the exact division of the jewellery to your discretion." Over the course of their relationship, Prince Harry's wife Meghan Markle has been seen sporting a number of items that once belonged to his mother, from butterfly earrings to a vibrant cocktail ring. Here are all the pieces of Diana's jewelry that Meghan inherited from Princess Diana.

Gold Butterfly Earrings

Meghan clearly has an affinity for dainty gold earrings, like this pair of butterfly studs, which once belonged to her late mother-in-law. Meghan initially wore the earrings in Australia for her first public appearance following the announcement of her pregnancy.

Simple Gold Bracelet

While in Australia, Meghan paired those butterfly studs with a simple gold bracelet, which once also belonged to Princess Diana. Meghan has actually worn this accessory three times now. Here, she paired it with a sparkling gown for a benefit performance of Cirque du Soleil.

And when Meghan launched her clothing line for Smart Works, she paired the two pieces again. Most recently, the Duchess of Sussex wore the dainty bracelet at the NAACP Image Awards in early 2022.

Aquamarine Cocktail Ring

On Meghan's wedding day, she debuted two rings: a simple wedding band made of Welsh gold, and Princess Diana's Aquamarine ring. After the ceremony, Meghan changed to head to her reception at Frogmore House and was first photographed wearing the colorful piece of jewelry.

In 2018, she brought it out on her royal tour of Tonga, at a welcome reception with the country's king and queen. The ring is actually part of a set, with a matching bracelet, but at this point, it's unclear if the Duchess of Sussex received both pieces.

Aquamarine Cocktail Ring

For the 2022 Ripple of Hope Award ceremony in NYC, where she and Prince Harry were being honored, Meghan wore her late mother-in-law's ring aquamarine again with a gorgeous off-the-shoulder gown.

Meghan's Engagement Ring

Prince William proposed to Kate Middleton with his mother's iconic sapphire and diamond ring, but Meghan's engagement ring also has a special tie to Princess Diana. Harry crafted a custom design for Meghan, which featured one diamond sourced from Botswana and two smaller stones from Princess Diana's collection.

Diamond Bracelet

The duchess selected a symbolic piece of jewelry from her late mother-in-law's jewelry collection to wear during her and Harry's televised, no-holds-barred interview with Oprah in 2021. It was a diamond bracelet and, reportedly, the same one from which the couple selected stones to create Meghan's engagement ring.

Later that year, Meghan seemingly wore the dazzling piece out again (above) with a red Carolina Herrera gown for a gala in NYC.

A Cartier Tank Watch

At the 2022 Invictus Games, the Duchess of Sussex wore a gold Cartier Tank watch. It has long been speculated that Meghan may have inherited the watch from Diana, though it has yet to be confirmed. (Meghan also owns a version of the watch that she purchased for herself to celebrate her pre-royal stint on the show Suits.)

Since then, she has been spotted wearing the timepiece on several occasions, including while promoting her podcast, Archetypes.
