Princess Diana was adored not only in Britain but worldwide, remembered for her humanitarian work and compassionate spirit.
Her legacy remains strong even decades after her passing, whether through her charitable deeds or iconic fashion choices.
A significant part of her style was her exquisite jewelry collection, many pieces of which were passed down to her sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, for their wives to wear.
“I would like you to allocate all my jewelry to the share to be held by my sons, so that their wives may, in due course, have it or use it,” Diana wrote in her will.
Over the years, both Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle have honored Diana by wearing her jewelry. William famously proposed to Kate with Diana’s engagement ring, while Harry gifted Meghan several pieces from his mother’s collection, including a gold and sapphire bracelet, diamond earrings, and an aquamarine ring. Meghan has worn these items on multiple occasions, including her wedding, charity events, and high-profile appearances.
In May 2024, Meghan and Harry visited Nigeria, where Meghan’s jewelry choices sparked controversy. She was seen wearing a gold collar necklace, similar to one Diana wore during her visit to Nigeria in 1990.
However, it was her diamond cross necklace, a gift from Harry, that ignited heated debate. Meghan wore the cross on May 11 while meeting military families in Abuja, paying tribute to Diana.
