    Harry sets a trap for Meghan by installing cameras at home

     

    In a shocking turn of events, Prince Harry has reportedly caught Meghan Markle in a compromising situation, fueling rumors and speculation across the globe. According to sources close to the royal couple, Harry, suspicious of Meghan’s recent behavior, decided to take matters into his own hands by secretly installing cameras throughout their home. What he allegedly uncovered was beyond what anyone could have imagined: Meghan was reportedly caught on camera with another man, sparking a scandal that threatens to shake the very foundation of their relationship.
    The leaked footage, which has since gone viral, shows Meghan in a private and intimate setting with a man who is not her husband. This revelation has sent shockwaves through the media and among the public, who have closely followed Harry and Meghan’s journey ever since they stepped away from their royal duties. The couple, who have been vocal about their desire for privacy and independence, now find themselves at the center of a media firestorm, with every aspect of their personal lives being scrutinized.

    The implications of this incident are profound, not just for Harry and Meghan, but also for the royal family as a whole. As the news spreads, questions arise about the future of their marriage, and whether this latest scandal will lead to a permanent rift between them. Harry, who has always been protective of Meghan, is now faced with a deeply personal and public betrayal, leaving many to wonder how he will respond in the coming days

    For Meghan, this incident could have serious consequences for her reputation and public image. She has long been a polarizing figure, with both ardent supporters and fierce critics. This latest scandal may only serve to deepen the divide, as some will see it as a confirmation of their worst suspicions, while others may view it as a targeted and unjustified attack on her character.

    As the world waits for an official response from either Harry or Meghan, the tension surrounding this scandal continues to grow. The royal family, already dealing with numerous challenges, now faces the difficult task of managing the fallout from this latest controversy. How they choose to handle the situation could have lasting effects on the monarchy and the public’s perception of the royal institution.

    LONDON, UK: Prince Harry and Kate Middleton were once quite close to each other but things reportedly began to worsen when Harry decided to marry Meghan Markle and they eventually separated from the royal family.

    Harry used to share ‘uncomplicated relationship’ with Kate

    Royal author Tom Quinn told The Mirror, “He really misses that warm, uncomplicated relationship, and he is torn between loyalty to his wife and regret about the loss of the woman he was so close to.”

    He explained, “Megan doesn’t feel guilty about Kate, because she feels that Kate should’ve been the one person in the Royal Family to back her against every difficulty.”

    Quinn continued, “Apart from anything else, Meghan knew Kate was an outsider, so she just couldn’t understand why Kate always towed the Royal line rather than supporting her, Meghan, the other outsider.”

    The author shared that though the Duchess of Sussex has been shocked by Kate’s cancer, “she can see no way to patch up the relationship simply because it has become so poisonous.”

    “She also doesn’t want people saying that she is trying to make things up with Kate just because Kate is ill. Meghan still feels Kate was in the wrong and should apologize before they try to build bridges,” Quinn added.

    Kate Middelton’s shocking health update

    This came after in March, Kate released a video statement on Instagram, letting people know about her health.

    She said, “It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family. In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London. At the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous.”

    The mother-of-three further mentioned, “The surgery was successful, however, tests after the operation found cancer had been present.”

    “My medical team therefore advised I should undergo preventive chemotherapy, and I am now in the early stages of that treatment. This of course comes as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this for our young family.”

    “Having William by my side is a great source of comfort, and the love and support and kindness that has been shown from so many of you. As a family, we need some time, space, and privacy while I complete my treatment,” she added.

  • Harry Believes Meghan Markle ‘Should Take Over As Queen’

    Harry Believes Meghan Markle ‘Should Take Over As Queen’

    Prince Harry is reported to have opined that Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, possesses the qualities to lead the royal family into modernity, according to royal biographer Angela Levin.

    In an interview with Uncancelled’s Dan Wooton, Levin delved into the couple’s perspectives on the monarchy’s need for updates and Meghan’s potential role in such a transformation.

    “[Harry] thinks that it was very bad that Meghan wasn’t questioned about what should be done to make the royal family up to date,” Angela said in the interview published on Monday, April 8, about the dynamic Prince Harry and Meghan shared with the firm before they moved to California.

    “And [Meghan] said herself that she felt that they should have asked her what should be done rather than Kate because she is a self-made woman and she’s got much more experience,” she went on.

    Levin recounted conversations indicating Harry’s dissatisfaction with the royal family’s approach to modernization, particularly noting an omission in consulting Meghan on the matter. Meghan, a self-described self-made woman with considerable experience, reportedly felt overlooked in favor of Princess Kate, despite her own insights into progressive changes for the monarchy.

     

    This sentiment underscores the couple’s estrangement from traditional royal protocols and their eventual move to California.

    The notion of Harry and Meghan assuming leadership of the monarchy presents a scenario fraught with unprecedented shifts in succession. For such a change to occur, Prince William, along with his three children, would need to step aside, paving the way for Harry, currently sixth in line, and Meghan to potentially guide the royal institution.

    Levin, who spent considerable time with Harry while penning the biography “Harry: Conversations with the Prince,” also reflected on Queen Elizabeth II’s efforts to accommodate the Sussexes within the royal fold. The late queen’s concessions, including offering top aides and allowing Meghan the flexibility to continue her acting career, highlighted attempts to integrate Meghan’s preferences into royal life.

    However, Levin suggests a premeditated plan by Meghan to exit the royal setting, fueled by ambitions extending beyond her royal title and financial expectations.

    The biographer further critiqued the Sussexes’ motives, accusing them of aiming to dismantle the traditional royal framework and alter media dynamics, particularly the print press. Harry’s legal battles against media entities over privacy violations and defamation underscore his contentious relationship with the press, aligning with Levin’s portrayal of a broader strategy to reshape media engagement.

     

    Complicating these narratives are recent challenges faced by the royal family, notably Princess Kate’s cancer diagnosis and the subsequent internal turmoil. Levin claims that Prince William harbors frustration towards Harry, exacerbated by disparaging remarks about Princess Kate and alleged breaches of trust.

    This tension, according to Levin, has deepened the rift between the brothers, with William particularly incensed by Harry’s public criticisms and actions perceived as undermining the family’s unity.

    “There you have their priorities. Harry wasn’t on the list. If you are unwell the last thing you want is somebody who’s going to start telling you how they want you to behave. Quite rightly William is absolutely furious about the comments that Harry made about his wife, insinuating that she didn’t have a big personality, that she did what she was told, she was deeply boring and that she was lazy,” the royal author of the tense dynamic shared between the Waleses and the Sussexes.

    “The other thing is, of course, they can’t trust Harry because he’s taken sentences and sold them to journalists to make another documentary. He’s not having that. Harry’s been very rude about William – you can’t take it,” she furthered.

    Meanwhile, Meghan reportedly aspired to emulate Princess Diana’s legacy within the Royal Family, embodying the same spirit and dedication to public service that defined Harry’s late mother.

    From her early days within the royal fold following her engagement to Prince Harry in 2017, Meghan sought to make a significant impact, akin to that of Diana, who transitioned from obscurity to global recognition through her marriage to Prince Charles and her subsequent philanthropic endeavors.

     

    Darren Stanton, a body language expert, observed that Meghan’s entry into the Royal Family marked a dramatic shift in her public stature, drawing parallels between her experiences and those of Princess Diana. Both women, according to Stanton, shared a profound commitment to humanitarian causes and a willingness to forge their own paths, even when it meant stepping away from traditional royal expectations.

    “She holds great precedence with Princess Diana,” Stanton told The Mirror, highlighting the strength and conviction both women demonstrated in facing the challenges of royal life.

    In addition to her philanthropic efforts, Meghan has ventured into the business world with the launch of her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard. Despite facing initial skepticism, the Duchess has been described as “headstrong” and “empowered” in her pursuit of this new endeavor, which offers an array of products including homewares, table linens, cookbooks, and gourmet food items. The brand, announced via a series of Instagram posts, has generated considerable excitement among royal and lifestyle enthusiasts alike.

    Stanton believes that through American Riviera Orchard, Meghan has embarked on a path that resonates deeply with her personal values and aspirations. He remarked on the Duchess’s newfound sense of self-assurance and purpose, suggesting that her latest venture represents a culmination of her journey towards self-discovery and fulfillment. “It’s a natural transition for her to embark on,” he said, noting the alignment between Meghan’s interests and the ethos of her lifestyle brand.

    However, the timing of the brand’s introduction has not been without controversy. Amidst reports that King Charles and Kate Middleton are battling cancer, Meghan has reportedly tempered plans for a global expansion of American Riviera Orchard. Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield expressed concerns that an aggressive rollout could be perceived as opportunistic, especially during a period of health crises within the Royal Family.

    “Meghan knows that if she appears even remotely opportunistic while the Royal Family has a cancer cloud hovering, she will be vilified,” Schofield explained, indicating the delicate balance Meghan must navigate as she seeks to build her brand without overshadowing her commitment to empathy and compassion.

    Meghan Markle Contemplates Legal Action Against Royal Family Following Charles’ Decision to Remove Archie from Line of Succession: ‘UNFAIR’

    In a move that has sent shockwaves through both the British royal family and the public, Meghan Markle is reportedly considering legal action against the Royal Family after King Charles III made a controversial decision to remove her son, Archie, from the line of succession. This development has sparked widespread debate and criticism, with Meghan labeling the move as “unfair” and expressing her intent to challenge it through legal channels.

    The issue began when King Charles III announced a significant change in the line of succession. Traditionally, the line of succession follows a clear protocol, but recent adjustments have led to Archie’s removal from the immediate line of succession. This decision is reportedly rooted in changes to royal protocols and Charles’ desire to modernize the monarchy’s approach to succession.

    Meghan Markle has been vocal about her dissatisfaction with the decision. In a statement issued through her legal team, Meghan described the removal of Archie from the line of succession as a direct attack on her family and a move that undermines the values of fairness and justice. She has expressed deep concern over how this decision might impact Archie’s future and the legacy of her family.

    “To exclude Archie from the line of succession is not only unjust but also reflects a broader issue of fairness within the royal institution,” Meghan stated. “We are deeply troubled by this move and are exploring all legal avenues to address this injustice.”

    The potential legal action is significant as it could challenge the very foundation of royal succession protocols. Meghan’s legal team is reportedly consulting with constitutional experts and solicitors specializing in royal law to evaluate the viability of their case. The situation has drawn parallels to previous legal battles involving royal family members, but this case is unique in its focus on succession rights for a non-heir family member.

    Public reaction has been mixed. Supporters of Meghan argue that her stance is a necessary fight for fairness and equality within the royal system. They believe that the decision to remove Archie reflects outdated practices and fails to consider the evolving dynamics of the modern monarchy. Critics, however, contend that such legal battles could further tarnish the public image of the royal family and undermine its credibility.

    This situation is unprecedented in modern British history. Historically, changes to the line of succession have been rare and often involve extensive deliberation within the royal family. The last major change occurred with the passing of the Succession to the Crown Act 2013, which ended the practice of male primogeniture. However, the current situation involving Archie is more complex, as it involves an individual who was previously in the line but is now being removed.

    The Royal Family has yet to issue an official statement on the matter. However, sources close to the family suggest that the decision was made with careful consideration and reflects the need to adapt to contemporary royal protocols. The move has been described as part of a broader effort to streamline royal roles and responsibilities, particularly in light of the changing roles of younger royals.

    As Meghan Markle and her legal team prepare to challenge King Charles III’s decision, the world watches with bated breath. The outcome of this legal battle could have far-reaching implications for the British monarchy and its approach to succession. For now, Meghan’s assertion of unfairness and her fight for her family’s place in royal history remain at the forefront of this unfolding drama.

  • Prince William and Princess Catherine’s iconic romance

    Prince William and Princess Catherine’s iconic romance

    “I went bright red and sort of scuttled off”: Prince William and Princess Catherine’s iconic romance – in their own words

    Their romance reads like a real-life fairytale – from their fateful meeting at university to their incredible wedding on April 29, 2011, and of course their three gorgeous children.

    On the 29th of April, Prince William and Duchess Catherine’s relationship takes another exciting turn to mark their 10th wedding anniversary.

    Despite the pressure of their royal roles, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have always managed to put their young family first.

    As they ring in the exciting milestone, we relive their best quotes of all time…


    Ten years on and three babies later, the couple are still having a ball!

    On their engagement

    “We had a little private time away together with some friends and I just decided that it was the right time really. We had been talking about marriage for a while so it wasn’t a massively big surprise. I took her up somewhere nice in Kenya and I proposed,” William said.

    “It was very romantic. There’s a true romantic in there,” Kate added.

    On their extravagant wedding at Westminster Abbey in London

    “It was supposed to be a small family affair,” Prince William joked to father-in-law Michael Middleton as he gave his daughter away.

    On Catherine’s sense of humour

    “She’s got a really naughty sense of humour, which kind of helps me because I’ve got a really dry sense of humour,” the Duke of Cambridge pointed out.
    “When I first met Kate I knew there was something very special about her!”

    The Cambridge clan are incredibly close.
    On raising their children and the struggles of parenthood

    “Catherine and I are clear that we want both George and Charlotte to grow up feeling able to talk about their emotions and feelings,” the Prince once told CALMzine.

    “It is lonely at times. You do feel quite isolated. But actually so many other mothers are going through exactly what you’re going through. But it’s being brave enough, like you obviously were, to reach out,” Catherine said of the challenges of motherhood.

    On their festival wish-list

    “I’ve talked about going to Glastonbury before because I do love my music and Catherine as well. I’ve got into enough trouble with my dancing recently. So it’s probably best to stay away from that one,” William joked on Radio 1.
    The gorgeous duo beamed with excitement when they announced their engagement in 2010.

    On how they unwind together

    Although they don’t watch The Crown, the couple love bingeing on box sets like Game Of Thrones and Homeland “once the kiddies are in bed.”

    They also love ordering in. “It’s a real conundrum when it comes to it – pizza, curry or Chinese,” William quipped to Catherine during their Radio 1 chat. “You do struggle for choice,” Kate teased back. “I’m not so good with the spicy food,” the Duke explained.

    On their first encounter

    “We obviously met at university – at St Andrews we were friends for over a year first and it just sort of blossomed from then on. We just spent more time with each other had a good giggle, had lots of fun and realised we shared the same interests and just had a really good time,” Wills reflected.

    “Well I actually think I went bright red when I met you and sort of scuttled off, feeling very shy about meeting you. Actually William wasn’t there for quite a bit of the time initially, he wasn’t there for Freshers Week, so it did take a bit of time for us to get to know each other but we did become very close friends from quite early on,” Kate remembered.

    On their famous break-up in 2007

    “I think at the time I wasn’t very happy about it, but actually it made me a stronger person, you find out things about yourself that maybe you hadn’t realised, I think you can get quite consumed by a relationship when you are younger and I really valued that time for me as well although I didn’t think it at the time,” the mother-of-two has confessed.

    “We were both very young, it was at university, we were both finding ourselves as such and being different characters and stuff, it was very much trying to find our own way and we were growing up, it was a bit of space and a bit of things like that and it worked out for the better,” the future King of England explained.

    On why they work

    “When I first met Kate I knew there was something very special about her. I knew there was possibly something that I wanted to explore there. But we ended up being friends for a while and that was a good foundation,” Wills has gushed.

    “I think if you do go out with someone for quite a long time you do get to know each other very, very well, you go through the good times, you go through the bad times. Both personally and within a relationship as well. I think if you can come out of that stronger and learn things about yourself,” Kate pointed out.

  • Sir Tom Jones Moves BBC Viewers with Powerful Performance at Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance

    Sir Tom Jones Moves BBC Viewers with Powerful Performance at Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance

    Sir Tom Jones, 84, left hardly a dry eye among BBC viewers on Saturday night with his powerful performance at this year’s Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance.

    Singing before King Charles III, Princess Anne, the Prince and Princess of Wales, and the nation’s military heroes, Jones rose to the occasion, delivering show-stopping vocals that honored the significance of the event.

    The Voice UK judge Sir Tom Jones was one of the first acts welcomed onto the stage by host Adrian Lester, delivering a heartfelt rendition of *I Won’t Crumble With You If You Fall.*

    Jones had previously performed this emotional track at the D-Day 80 commemoration in Normandy earlier this year, paying tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

    During Saturday’s show at the Royal Albert Hall, Jones once again honored the fallen, remaining at his spot on stage, accompanied by the military orchestra. Within moments of his performance, social media lit up with praise for the singer, and several viewers couldn’t help but mention a rather eye-catching detail they noticed during the performance.

    Sir Tom Jones received widespread praise from BBC viewers following his moving performance. While many fans were left teary-eyed by his rendition, others couldn’t help but marvel at how Jones, at 84 years old, can still deliver such powerful vocals.

    One amazed fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “Tom Jones seems to be defying nature. His voice hasn’t deteriorated one iota #RemembranceDay2024.”

    Another echoed the sentiment: “Sir Tom Jones still has an incredible voice and looks physically strong and well #RoyalBritishLegionFestivalofRemembrance.”

    “Sir Tom Jones sounds amazing considering he is 84 years old. #FestivalOfRemembrance,” a third fan noted, while a fourth added, “Sir Tom Jones, at 84, still sings like an angel. Extraordinary. #RemembranceDay2024.”

    Sir Tom Jones shared a heartfelt message on Instagram about his performance.

    Meanwhile, fans continued to express their emotions. One viewer wrote, “Watching Tom Jones at the Festival of Remembrance has left me in tears. It’s the first time since my great nanny’s funeral in February that I’ve listened to *I Won’t Crumble With You If You Fall.*”

  • Meghan Markle often compared to Grace Kelly

    Meghan Markle often compared to Grace Kelly

    Meghan Markle and Grace Kelly: Parallels Between Two PrincessesWhat do Meghan Markle and Grace Kelly really have in common? From 'fairy tale' weddings with Prince Harry and Prince Rainier III to struggles with royal life | South China Morning Post

     

    Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is frequently compared to Grace Kelly, the iconic American actress who became Princess of Monaco. Both women captured the world’s imagination with their beauty, talent, and eventual transition from Hollywood to royalty. While they lived in different eras, the striking similarities between Meghan and Grace reveal a shared narrative of love, resilience, and reinvention in the face of tradition.

    From Hollywood Spotlight to Royal Court

    Grace Kelly was already a celebrated film star when she met Prince Rainier of Monaco in 1955, leaving behind a successful career to marry him and embrace her role as a European royal. Decades later, Meghan Markle would make a similar choice, stepping away from her acting career after her role on Suits to marry Prince Harry. For both women, this decision marked a drastic shift, trading the independence and glamour of Hollywood for the duty-bound life of royalty.

    Their journeys from Hollywood to royalty transformed their lives but also brought challenges. Grace had to adapt to a life of diplomacy, leaving behind her acting career and adopting a new role as Monaco’s princess. Similarly, Meghan left the familiarity of her career and home in the United States, facing the demanding and traditional life of British royalty.

    Bridging Cultures: The American Princesses

     

    How Meghan Markle Could Use Grace Kelly as a Blueprint for Future Success - Newsweek

     

    As American women entering European royal circles, Meghan and Grace both introduced a fresh perspective. Grace brought a touch of Hollywood sophistication and glamour to Monaco, helping put the small principality on the global stage. Likewise, Meghan’s American background, paired with her modern, progressive ideals, brought diversity and change to the British royal family, attracting a new, younger audience.

    Their cultural differences sometimes caused friction with traditional royal circles, but both Grace and Meghan found ways to adapt while staying true to their values. Grace became a beloved figure in Monaco, known for her grace and commitment to philanthropic work, and Meghan, too, has focused on social issues, using her platform to promote causes close to her heart, from mental health to racial justice.

    Challenges Within Royal Life

     

    Both Meghan and Grace faced unique pressures in royal life. Grace was said to have struggled with the isolation of royal life in Monaco, which contrasted with the vibrant Hollywood lifestyle she had known. Likewise, Meghan has spoken openly about the personal and mental health challenges she faced within the British monarchy, describing moments of loneliness and feeling misunderstood.

     

    Their struggles reflect the complexities that come with marrying into royalty. While Grace had to navigate the expectations of Monaco’s people and the demands of royal etiquette, Meghan encountered intense media scrutiny in the UK, often amplified by her background and race.

    Defining Their Legacy Through Philanthropy

    Grace Kelly found purpose in her royal role through her philanthropic work, championing the arts and social causes, which helped endear her to Monaco’s people. She created the Princess Grace Foundation to support emerging artists, securing her legacy as a patron of culture and charity.

    Meghan, similarly, has carved out her own path through her charity work. Together with Prince Harry, she founded the Archewell Foundation, focusing on humanitarian projects that align with her progressive values. From promoting gender equality to supporting mental health initiatives, Meghan has used her influence to bring about social change, cementing her role as a modern-day philanthropist.

    Challenging Royal Norms

    Both Grace and Meghan challenged traditional royal norms in ways that set them apart. Grace’s glamorous, American style was unlike anything seen in European royalty, influencing royal fashion for years to come. Meghan, known for her modern style, broke several fashion protocols of the British royal family, choosing outfits that reflect her personality rather than sticking to conservative royal expectations.

     

    Moreover, Meghan’s openness about issues like mental health and systemic racism has helped destigmatize these topics, breaking with the monarchy’s traditionally reserved stance. Like Grace, Meghan has taken bold steps that challenge the status quo, showing that a royal title doesn’t have to mean sacrificing individuality.

    An Enduring Legacy

    The parallels between Meghan Markle and Grace Kelly reveal two women who, despite immense pressure, shaped their own destinies. Grace’s influence in Monaco remains strong to this day, while Meghan’s legacy is still evolving as she navigates her role beyond the confines of royal life. Their stories of resilience, independence, and advocacy resonate with millions and continue to inspire new generations.

    Both Meghan Markle and Grace Kelly exemplify the unique journey of those who transition from Hollywood stardom to the strictures of royalty, merging the worlds of glamour and duty while forging a legacy of compassion and strength.

    Prince Andrew’s royal future hangs in the balance as King to make key decision in weeks

    Prince Andrew has been described as a “loose canon” as a royal expert believes the King has just weeks to decide about the Firm’s Christmas arrangements.

    Prince Andrew’s future is said to be hanging in the balance as King Charles is set to make a major decision in coming weeks, it has been reported.

    The disgraced royal and the 76-year-old monarch are still seemingly at odds over whether Andrew should be allowed to remain living at his beloved Royal Lodge, with his annual £1million “living allowance” having reportedly been cut by the King.

    Andrew, 64, stepped back from royal duties in 2019 after a disastrous interview for Newsnight. In the infamous interview, Andrew failed to speak of his regret over his association with convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein.

    With this still lingering in the background, the King is now facing decisions over whether he should allow his younger brother to join the royals at Sandringham this Christmas – and on the public walkabout on Christmas morning.

    For the past two years, Andrew has been allowed to join the Royal Family as they walk to church on Christmas morning.

    According to The Times, a decision to allow his brother to join the celebrations will show that the King hasn’t completely frozen out Andrew – and his former wife, Sarah Ferguson, who has previously joined him at Sandringham.

    As reported by the Mirror, royal author Stephen Bates said: “Charles has a clear sense of the damage Andrew has done to the institution of monarchy.”

    With the plan to move his brother out of Royal Lodge, Frogmore Cottage – which is the former home of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex – is said to have been a possible home for Andrew and Sarah.

    Prince Harry and Meghan Markle – who now live in the US with their children – were forced to hand back the keys to Frogmore Cottage last year.

    It has recently been reported that Andrew has come up with a cunning plan in order to stay at Royal Lodge. According to the Sun on Sunday, the royal has reportedly “negotiated a cheaper protection deal at his leased home which he refuses to leave. His plan is believed to be bankrolled by Middle East money.”

    Meghan Markle wanted to communicate a particular message through her sartorial choices during her latest solo night out in LA, a jewellery expert has claimed.

    The Duchess of Sussex attended the launch of a new haircare line by the brand Highbrow Hippie last Friday.

    Prince Harry’s wife stunned in an all-black co-ord which featured a strapless top and wide-leg trousers which she paired with strappy heeled sandals.

    Meghan paired the look with gold jewellery, including a new gold diamond necklace with her children’s names engraved on it but she also sported another beloved piece – her sparkling pinky ring.

    The duchess first wore the ring in October 2020 for an official portrait with Prince Harry for Time magazine.

    Meghan’s ring is thought to be a custom design by Lorraine Schwartz with diamonds the Sussex couple reportedly received as gifts from the Middle East.

    She also wore it for the Invictus Games in Germany in 2023.

    According to a jewellery expert, the ring, which is estimated to be worth £56,000, carries a deeper meaning for the duchess.

    Maxwell Stone of Steven Stone said: “Created by celebrity jeweller Lorraine Schwartz, Meghan’s pinky ring appears to feature a 3-carat emerald cut diamond in a solitaire setting.

    “Though there have been suggestions that the ring was gifted to Meghan by a mystery donor from the Middle East, its origin has never been confirmed.

    Meghan Markle

    “Thus, the ring has become a source of speculation – particularly since Meghan wore it on the cover of Time magazine.

    “The shape of the diamonds cut represents stability and strength, which is particularly fitting for Meghan who has faced a series of hardships since her and Prince Harry made the decision to withdraw from the Royal Family.

    “I’d estimate the ring to be worth £56,000 ($70,000).”
