Royal Rift: William's Plea on Diana's Jewels
10 Apr
Summary
- Prince William reportedly asked Meghan not to wear Diana's jewelry.
- Meghan wore Diana's aquamarine ring to the reception.
- Tensions existed behind the scenes of the royal wedding.
According to royal expert Robert Jobson, Prince William expressed reservations about Prince Harry's relationship with Meghan Markle. Jobson's 2024 biography details that William allegedly asked the Queen to ensure Meghan would not wear any of Princess Diana's jewelry on the wedding day, unlike his own wife. Despite these reported private tensions, the wedding in May 2018 was publicly seen as a success.
On the wedding day, Meghan Markle wore Queen Mary's Diamond Bandeau Tiara. While she did not wear Diana's jewelry during the ceremony at St. George's Chapel, she later donned Princess Diana's aquamarine ring at the reception held at Frogmore House. This ring has been worn by Meghan on multiple occasions since the wedding.
These behind-the-scenes conflicts were also hinted at in Prince Harry's 2023 memoir, "Spare," which mentioned a disagreement between Meghan and Kate Middleton over a bridesmaid's dress. Meghan and Harry also discussed wedding-related tensions during their interview with Oprah Winfrey.
