Meghan Markle wears Princess Diana’s bracelet for Oprah Interview
Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, was seen in the interview with Oprah Winfrey wearing a diamond bracelet that belonged to the late Princess of Wales Diana. Markle told Winfrey that the jewelry had unique symbolism and sentimental meaning to her because it belonged to Prince Harry's mother, Princess Diana.
It's worth noting that the Duchess' three-stone engagement ring in 2017 was made with the same bracelet.
Prince Harry, 36, explained at the time, “The main stone itself I sourced from Botswana, and the little diamonds [on] either side are from my mother's jewelry collection to make sure that she's with us on this — on this crazy journey together.”
“The inclusion of that and, obviously not being able to meet his mom, it's so important to me to — to know that she's a part of this with us,” Markle continued.
Prince Harry made a similar reference to his mother, saying that he and his wife Meghan were leaving the royal duties because “history was repeating itself.” Prince Harry said he was “relieved” to have his wife Meghan Markle by his side and related to his mother's departure from the Royal family three decades earlier. “I can't imagine what it must have been like for her [Diana], going through this process by herself all those years ago.” The Duke said, “It's been unbelievably tough for the two of us, but at least we had each other.”
