Meghan Markle’s sentimental diamond engagement ring designed by Prince Harry: all the details
The Duke of Sussex designed the engagement ring himself
rince Harry’s engagement to Meghan Markle in November 2017 was a suitably romantic and intimate occasion, with the perfect ring to match.
When the Duke of Sussex first discussed his engagement to Meghan during a BBC interview, he explained that he proposed during a quiet night in with Meghan while she roasted a chicken.
He would go on to later share the adorable details of the moment he popped the question in Spare, revealing that he had popped a bottle of champagne unexpectedly and had “set electric candles around the blanket” in their walled garden at Nottingham Cottage. He had “wanted it to look like Botswana, where I’d first thought of proposing”, he wrote.
The engagement ring he got for Meghan Markle was an equally thoughtful choice, as he designed it himself with a number of historical details that not only reflected their relationship as a couple, but his family heritage.
Prince Harry designed the engagement ring himself – unlike his brother Prince William, who famously opted for his mother Princess Diana’s famous diamond and sapphire ring.
The ring itself has a cushion cut diamond, estimated to be between 2.5 and 3 carats, supported by two round diamonds. The stones are set in white gold with the main band of the ring in yellow gold.
Yet the famous piece of jewellery was also referential to his mother, as the side stones, two round diamonds, came from Princess Diana’s personal jewellery collection.
Meghan revealed that it was “important” to her to know that the late royal was “a part of this with us”.
