During her visit to Nigeria, Meghan Markle was spotted wearing a striking diamond cross necklace that immediately caught the attention of royal observers.
The intricate piece of jewelry adorned her neck as she attended a reception for military families in Abuja, its elegance catching the sunlight and drawing curious glances.
This sartorial choice sparked a flurry of speculation, with many wondering whether the necklace was in fact a cherished item from the late Princess Diana's personal collection. After all, Meghan is known for her penchant for sentimental jewelry, often choosing pieces with deep personal significance.
However, this assumption seemed to puzzle insiders and those familiar with Diana's wardrobe. According to the New York Post, there are no documented instances of the princess ever wearing a similar necklace in public. A source close to the Sussexes revealed that the necklace was in fact a gift from Prince Harry, who had inherited it along with other items from his mother's private collection.
One individual who worked closely with Diana was quoted as saying, "No, I didn't recognize this at all." They went on to note that the late princess, "was ever the professional and she generally avoided wearing religious motifs of any kind because they have the potential to offend people, so she'd never usually wear such a thing."
Another person, described as a London socialite, added that "Meghan likes to curate her jewelry to tell a certain story. I find it hard to believe that she's been sitting on this necklace for 5 years throughout her life."
Princess Diana, who tragically passed away at the age of 37 in 1997, was indeed seldom seen wearing a cross in public, despite being one of the most photographed women globally for over 16 years. The only instances where she was documented wearing a cross were during a charity event in London in 1987 and while embracing HIV-positive children in Brazil in 1991.
