Prince William is reportedly worried about the whereabouts of jewelry that once belonged to his late mother, Princess Diana, and was gifted to Meghan Markle. According to sources, William has expressed concern over Meghan’s engagement ring, which features diamonds from Diana’s personal collection.
In 2017, Prince Harry proposed to Meghan with a custom-made engagement ring that included two diamonds from his mother’s collection, set alongside a stone from Botswana on a simple gold band. However, less than two years later, the ring underwent a redesign, with the band being replaced by a thinner version. Meghan debuted the updated ring at the Trooping the Colour ceremony in 2019, alongside another ring.
This year, Meghan has been seen without her engagement ring at multiple public events, including a gala in May. It was later reported that the ring was “being repaired.” However, more recently, Meghan appeared without the ring again while attending the Invictus Games with Prince Harry in September.
According to the Mirror, Prince William, 41, is reportedly concerned about the missing jewelry, especially given the strained relationship between the royal family and the couple. The source claimed that Meghan’s engagement ring seems to have “vanished” and questioned why she wouldn’t proudly wear it at such a high-profile event in Germany, raising concerns within the palace.
The insider further explained that the situation has “set off alarm bells at the Palace.” William has reportedly reached out to mutual contacts, seeking clarity on the status of the ring and other pieces of Diana’s jewelry.
Given William’s strong connection to his mother’s legacy, the source noted that Diana’s jewelry holds deep sentimental value for him. “Not knowing where they are is disturbing for William,” the source said. “He’s always been protective of his mother’s memory, and her jewelry is an important part of that.”
The source emphasized the emotional significance these pieces carry for William, adding, “The memories he has of her wearing each piece will never go away.” As tensions between the two brothers continue, this concern over Princess Diana’s jewelry seems to add another layer of complexity to their relationship.
