It’s amazing to watch the Duchess of Sussex conduct completely normal business for As Ever as the British press is in full meltdown over her upcoming UK visit. This week, As Ever’s Instagram account posted a short reel of Meghan holding a basket of vegetables and smiling in a striped shirt. I thought it was a nothingburger – just Meghan doing her thing and promoting the As Ever brand and aesthetic. The Daily Mail has written no fewer than five major stories about that reel. Their latest piece is accusing Prince Harry of buying Meghan an anniversary ring which (they claim) looks “very similar” to the Princess of Wales’ cursed sapphire engagement ring.

She’s known for her elegant jewellery, and royal fans have speculated that the Duchess of Sussex has added to her collection with a new ring.

Meghan Markle, 44, who lives in Montecito, California, showcased the piece in her Instagram post on May 11, suggesting it was perhaps an early anniversary present from her husband, Prince Harry, with their special day landing on May 19.

Others have claimed the piece bears a striking resemblance to the Princess of Wales’ engagement ring, the 12-carat oval sapphire previously owned by her mother-in-law, Princess Diana.

Meghan donned the ring again in her latest As Ever post, shared yesterday, where she collected fresh fruit and vegetables in the garden. Taking to X, one said: ‘Meghan Markle’s latest As Ever video shows her wearing a new ring that resembles Princess Diana and Princess Catherine’s engagement ring!’

It follows rumours that, in the aftermath of Princess Diana’s death, Harry reportedly selected Diana’s Garrard sapphire engagement ring, while William opted for her Cartier Tank Française watch. In 2010, it is believed the brothers swapped items so William could use the ring to propose to Catherine, the Princess of Wales. Later, Harry gave the luxurious timepiece to Meghan. However, in his bombshell biography Spare, released in 2023, the Duke of Sussex branded these reports ‘absolutely rubbish’. Instead, Harry claimed William was already in possession of their mother’s ring when he proposed to Kate, so he was never asked to give it up.

It comes after claims Meghan’s latest promo for her lifestyle brand, in which she showed the ring, ‘missed the mark’ after fans were left confused about what she was trying to sell.

Because of this, I’ve now watched this reel like ten times, trying to figure out what the ring actually looks like. It’s a cocktail ring on her right hand, and I don’t even think it’s a sapphire, honestly. My guess is either a garnet or an onyx – something which photographs very darkly. The gem seems to have a square cut with a very slight diamond surround. I really want to see this clearly, because I suspect it looks nothing like Big Blue. I also suspect that we’ve only seen a fraction of Meghan’s amazing jewelry collection, and I’d love to know how many of Diana’s pieces she’s been given by Harry.
