A Subtle Tribute to Princess Diana

Observers also noted that Meghan’s moonstone ring closely resembles the late Princess Diana’s iconic sapphire engagement ring. Both feature a central stone encircled by diamonds, creating a halo effect symbolic of femininity and grace. Beyond aesthetics, the moonstone itself carries a link to Diana through mythology. The Logan Hollowell website explains, “The moonstone is associated with the moon and was the stone of the goddess Diana. The most powerful time to use the moonstone is on a full moon.”

This connection was not lost on royal fans, who saw the piece as a touching homage to her late mother-in-law. Jewelry designer Pippa Small told PEOPLE that Meghan’s tributes through accessories are “a beautiful symbol and a lovely gesture,” adding, “She made them look totally contemporary, and it really showed the emotional value of jewelry.”

Small also praised Meghan’s ability to frame her jewelry through her style choices, saying, “The clothes she wears really frame the jewelry and give it a different context, which makes it feel very relevant.”

Honoring Diana Through More Than One Piece

In addition to her moonstone ring, Meghan also wore her beloved Cartier Tank Française watch, a timepiece that once belonged to Princess Diana. The Duchess has previously spoken of her affection for the design, telling HELLO! magazine: “I’ve always coveted the Cartier French Tank watch. When I found out Suits had been picked up for our third season, I totally splurged and bought the two-tone version.” She added, “I plan to give it to my daughter one day. That’s what makes pieces special — the connection you have to them.”

For now, royal watchers continue to speculate on the meaning behind Meghan’s latest jewelry choices — and whether Princess Lilibet will one day inherit these deeply symbolic treasures that blend legacy, love, and independence.
