Meghan Markle incorporates several heirloom jewelry pieces from the late Princess Diana into her collection, including Diana's iconic "divorce ring," showcasing a personal connection to her late mother-in-law. Both Meghan Markle and Princess Eugenie also shared the milestone of wearing tiaras publicly for the first time on their respective 2018 wedding days, marking significant moments in their royal histories. These shared elements highlight the blend of tradition and modernity in how these royal women express their style and relationships within the monarchy.
