Meghan Markle wore one of Princess Diana’s rings to her wedding reception on Saturday (19.05.18) evening. The Duchess of Sussex paid tribute to her late mother-in-law by donning the huge aquamarine cocktail ring, which was believed to have been given to her as a wedding gift by her new husband, Prince Harry, to accessorise the high-necked Stella McCartney gown she chose for her intimate reception at Frogmore House, and its colour perfectly matched the soles of her Aquazurra shoes.

The ring – which Diana was pictured wearing to an auction of her own clothes in 1997 – was part of a set, including a matching bracelet and earrings, but it is not clear if Meghan received those too.

Following her death, a “letter of wishes” from Diana revealed she had left her jewellery collection to her sons, Harry and William – who gave his spouse, Duchess Catherine, a pair of her earrings for their own wedding in 2011 – to pass on to their “future wives”.

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.”

When Harry proposed to Meghan last year, he did so using a ring he designed himself which featured two diamonds from Diana’s personal collection. The stones were either side of a larger diamond from Botswana,which is where the couple enjoyed a safari holiday in September. The ring was made by Cleave and Company, Court Jewellers and Medallists to Her Majesty The Queen.
