Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, was all smiles when she dined with friends Kadi Lee and Cleo Wade in Los Angeles this week. Meghan’s glowing appearance was captured in a candid snapshot posted by Kadi as she hugged her close pals.
Meghan looked effortlessly chic in a simple black tank top and a beautiful gold pendant necklace, with her hair perfectly fashioned in an updo. However, keen royal observers couldn’t help but notice a notable absence: Meghan’s $200,000 diamond engagement ring was noticeably absent from her finger.
The Duchess’ engagement ring, which is usually placed atop her gold wedding band and diamond eternity ring, was glaringly missing, sparking a frenzy of conjecture among royal watchers. The curious adjustment in Meghan’s jewellery sparked heated debate on social media.
“I wonder what happened to the engagement ring?” one interested user tweeted. “Not everyone wears their engagement rings every day,” commented another. I’m sure I don’t.” Netizens proposed several possibilities, including resizing or temporary removal, with one proposing, “Perhaps her ring was sent for resizing.”
Meghan’s choice to forego a wedding ring is not unique. She briefly removed her engagement and wedding rings during her first pregnancy with Prince Archie, later admitting that the set had been lavishly upgraded. On their first wedding anniversary, Prince Harry, ever the romantic, opted to enhance his wife’s wedding band and present her a handmade eternity ring.
“Prince Harry was the loveliest person ever,” jeweller Lorraine Schwartz said of the wonderful gesture in the royal memoir Finding Freedom. “How romantic and thoughtful.” As Meghan’s friends gathered to celebrate her birthday, the missing engagement ring sparked a wave of conjecture.
