Meghan's Ring: Diana's Diamonds, Royal Secrets

Prince Harry's engagement ring for Meghan Markle is a testament to his thoughtful nature, incorporating elements deeply meaningful to their relationship. He entrusted Cleave & Company, a jeweller for the late Queen Elizabeth, to design the ring, even using diamonds from Princess Diana's personal bracelet. This significant tribute aimed to ensure Diana's presence on their journey together, a sentiment Meghan described as "incredibly special."

The ring itself is a blend of personal history and royal tradition. Prince Harry selected a diamond from Botswana, the site of their early romance, and chose a yellow gold band, Meghan's favorite. The proposal occurred in November 2017 at Kensington Palace. Since then, reports suggest the ring has been modified multiple times, with changes including a thinner band, added diamonds, and a possible shift in the central stone's cut, reflecting evolving personal style.

Beyond the ring's design, the proposal itself was a recreated scene of Botswana, where Harry first considered proposing. He set up electric candles on a blanket, evoking the African landscape. This romantic gesture culminated in Meghan saying "yes" twice. The ring's alterations, including a recent potential change noted by fans, highlight its enduring significance and the couple's continued personal connection to it.
