Meghan Markle brazenly uses ‘royal logo’ again after ditching it years ago

Eagle-eyed royal watchers noticed Meghan Markle appearing to show off the royal cypher that she and Prince Harry were given when they married on a brand new piece of jewellery

Meghan Markle has raised eyebrows by appearing to flash her royal cypher – despite previously ditching it.

Eagle-eyed royal watchers spotted that during her trip to the Invictus Games in Canada, the Duchess of Sussex has been sporting a brand new signet ring on her pinky finger on her right hand.

And it seems that the new piece of jewellery is engraved with Prince Harry and Meghan’s joint cypher that they unveiled when they married back in 2018. The monogram is made up of the letters ‘H’ and ‘M’ in cursive writing. The logo is topped with a coronet with two cross pattées, four fleurs-de-lys and two strawberry leaves.

The monogram was used on their previous Sussex Royal website and social media accounts – and even after they dramatically quit as working royals back in 2020, they continued to use the logo on their letterheads.

However, in 2021, after coming under fire for still using the cypher despite stepping back from their royal roles, they started to use stationery with the Archewell logo instead. Their current Sussex.com website does not feature this cypher, however, instead, it features Meghan’s coat of arms.

The coat of arms honours her Californian background – with a blue shield representing the Pacific Ocean, and rays, symbolising sunshine. When it was unveiled, Kensington Palace revealed how the duchess worked closely with the College of Arms in London to create the design.

Meghan isn’t the only royal to wear a pinky finger signet ring. King Charles also wears one with the Prince of Wales feathers and he gifted one to Princess Diana the night before their wedding in 1981.

It is not the first time that Meghan’s jewellery has been the subject of much debate. Just weeks ago many believed that her engagement ring had gone through yet another tweak.

Meghan was first given the ring, which was made with two diamonds from Princess Diana’s collection and one from Botswana, when she and Harry became engaged in 2017. It underwent a major redesign two years later when the plain gold band was swapped for a thinner micropave style.

In 2023, she was spotted without the ring on several occasions and it was reported this was due to the delicate piece being fixed due to a loose stone. And now fans believe the ring might have had another change – and it’s all down to the shape of the central diamond.

In one moment of the trailer for her new Netflix show With Love, Meghan, the duchess can be seen reaching for some flowers with her full ring on show. And many believe that the main diamond appears to now be a square cut – rather than the round cut of the original.

PA)Taking to X, one asked: “Is that a new engagement ring?” While another said: “Looks like she’s changed the centre stone from a round diamond to the more expensive square cut.”

Meghan then made a string of appearances in 2023, including at the Invictus Games in Dusseldorf, where she was seen not wearing the ring. However, speaking to Page Six at the time, a source claimed the ring was “being fixed”, hence the fact that it is missing from her ring finger. In recent months she has been seen wearing it again.
