Meghan Markle Slammed Over ‘Brutal’ Plan for Princess Diana’s Jewelry

Meghan Markle is reportedly entertaining a jaw-dropping idea involving some of the most emotionally charged jewels in royal history — and insiders say it would send shockwaves through the monarchy if it ever became reality.

Sources tell RadarOnline.com that the Duchess of Sussex has privately floated the idea of reworking Princess Diana’s jewelry into a symbolic “divorce ring” if her marriage to Prince Harry were to collapse. While friends insist there’s no imminent split, the very discussion has stunned royal watchers given the explosive history attached to those stones.

Since her 2017 engagement, Meghan Markle has steadily built a small but extraordinarily powerful collection of jewels once worn by Princess Diana — and she has strategically worn them during some of the most scrutinized moments of her public life.

Insiders say Meghan views the jewelry as far more than decoration.

“She believes the Diana pieces reinforce her personal narrative,” one source said. “In her mind, they tie her story to a woman she feels was deeply wronged by the system.”

According to sources, the idea took shape after Meghan followed the post-divorce reinvention of Emily Ratajkowski, who famously reset her engagement and wedding rings after splitting from Sebastian Bear-McClard. Ratajkowski later debuted the redesigned jewelry as bold “divorce rings,” publicly framing them as symbols of independence and self-possession.

“Meghan has openly admired how Emily flipped the script,” a source claimed. “She’s joked with friends about doing something similar — taking jewelry tied to a marriage and reclaiming it as her own power statement.”

Meghan’s connection to Diana’s jewelry began with her engagement ring, designed by Prince Harry and set with two diamonds from his mother’s bracelet. At the time, Harry said the design ensured Diana would be “with us on this crazy journey.” Experts have valued the ring at up to $350,000, though its provenance makes it virtually priceless.

The symbolism only intensified after the wedding.

At the couple’s 2018 evening reception, Meghan stunned royal watchers by wearing Diana’s aquamarine Asprey ring — a piece the late princess commissioned after her separation from Prince Charles and famously wore following her divorce. Royal historians have long described it as Diana’s own quiet declaration of independence.

Since then, Meghan has repeatedly appeared in Diana’s diamond tennis bracelet and gold butterfly earrings, wearing them during overseas tours, high-stakes interviews, and headline-grabbing appearances — including her sit-down with Oprah Winfrey.

Friends insist the so-called “divorce ring” talk is hypothetical — but even hypotheticals carry weight when Diana’s legacy is involved.

“This isn’t Meghan planning to leave Harry,” one insider said. “It’s about control. She wants to know that no matter what happens, she owns her story.”

Others aren’t so sure the idea would be seen as harmless.

“Remaking Diana’s jewelry would be viewed as a deliberate and provocative move,” another source warned. “Those stones are sacred to many people. Touching them in that way would ignite outrage.”

For now, Meghan continues to wear the pieces as heirlooms linking her to Diana’s legacy. But the fact that she’s even considering a future transformation shows just how volatile those jewels have become — not merely symbols of love and marriage, but potential weapons in a much larger battle over identity, independence, and power.
