Daily Mail article mentioning Meghan’s Ring Posted by 992234177 on June 21, 2021, 7:08 am This article states that the two diamonds in the Duchess of Sussex’s engagement ring come from Princess Diana’s Pearl Choker with Sapphire Clasp from The Queen Mother. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/you/article-9693711/The-incredible-adventures-Dianas-iconic-dresses.html

Re: Daily Mail article mentioning Meghan’s Ring Posted by Sam (The Beau Monde) on June 21, 2021, 7:23 pm, in reply to "Daily Mail article mentioning Meghan’s Ring" Just like most things, I think the Daily Mail is wrong on this one. Wasn’t Diana gifted some loose diamonds on a state visit to Oman? Why dismantle a perfectly good and iconic piece just to get two small stones.

I must admit that I am not persuaded by the simple assertion, and I very much doubt that the Princes would have resorted to taking two smallish diamonds from such an iconic piece as the sapphire and diamond brooch/centre piece.

Re: Daily Mail article mentioning Meghan’s Ring Posted by Paisley25 on June 23, 2021, 5:03 am, in reply to "Daily Mail article mentioning Meghan’s Ring" Earlier this year, People Magazine said the diamonds came from Diana’s diamond bracelet that is currently worn by Meghan. I don’t know if that’s true or not, but Harry and Meghan’s spokesperson does release things to People. https://www.google.com/amp/s/people.com/royals/meghan-markle-wears-princess-diana-bracelet-oprah-winfrey-interview-prince-harry/%3famp=true

Re: Daily Mail article mentioning Meghan’s Ring Posted by Paisley25 on June 23, 2021, 5:09 am, in reply to "Re: Daily Mail article mentioning Meghan’s Ring" I should also mention that if this is true, then I’m more curious about when and how Diana acquired this bracelet. If Harry chose to use diamonds from it, then I’d think it would have had a certain significance to him.

Re: Daily Mail article mentioning Meghan’s Ring Posted by Dave on June 24, 2021, 12:08 pm, in reply to "Daily Mail article mentioning Meghan’s Ring" I'm also dubious about this claim. I'm sure it was said that all gifts/ loans to Diana PoW from the Queen or via official avenues were promptly returned to the Royal household on her passing. Would I be presumptuous in saying that gifts to Diana from top members of the royal family were life time loans to be passed on to further ruling descendants. The prominence of the brooch may have fitted a life long loan especially if it was in the Queen Mother's keep from an early age. Somehow I believe that the sapphire brooch was returned to HM as was all of her mom's treasures on her passing. For instance the tiara most associated with Diana was also a loan and not a private/ personal holding. Regards, Dave.
