Meghan Markle Subtly Honors Princess Diana With This Surprising Accessory
Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, has honored her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, during her three-year marriage to Prince Harry in many subtle ways. However, her latest nod to the Princess of Wales had to be her sweetest yet. During a whirlwind tour of New York City, where Meghan and Harry attended the Global Citizen Live event, one of Meghan’s accessories honored the late princess without saying a word.
Meghan Markle has honored Princess Diana many times
Meghan’s tributes to the late Princess of Wales began when Prince Harry placed an engagement ring upon her finger. The center diamond once belonged to Harry’s mother. Her wedding bouquet contained Forget-Me-Nots, Diana’s favorite flower. Meghan wore an Aquamarine ring en route to her reception, a gift from Prince Harry from his mother’s collection.
Other nods have been more subtle. Markle posted a photograph of her first child, son Archie’s feet, for her first mother’s day. In the caption, Markle paid tribute to mothers “lost but forever remembered.” In another instance, Markle wore a coat designed by Amanda Wakely and a hat by Stephen Jones to a Commonwealth Day service. Both were favorite designers of Princess Diana.
