Meghan Markle Couldn’t Resist Changing Her Engagement Ring (And We Don’t Blame Her)
By Glam Team | April 16, 2025
Even a royal engagement ring isn’t immune to a little glow-up.
Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex and forever style icon, has once again captured headlines — this time for subtly altering her famous engagement ring from Prince Harry. And honestly? We don’t blame her.
Originally gifted to her in 2017, the ring featured a large cushion-cut diamond from Botswana (a nod to the couple’s early love story) flanked by two smaller diamonds from Princess Diana’s personal collection. A sentimental masterpiece? Absolutely. But even timeless pieces can get a modern touch.
Over the years, eagle-eyed royal watchers noticed not one, but a few changes to the ring — most notably, swapping out the original yellow gold band for a sleeker, diamond-pavé setting that perfectly complements Meghan’s refined aesthetic.
“It’s still the same ring — just with a little extra sparkle,” one royal insider noted. “Very Meghan.”
Some critics have raised eyebrows over modifying such a symbolic piece of royal history. But fans and fashionistas alike are cheering her on, praising the Duchess for making the ring uniquely her own.
“Jewelry is personal,” one stylist told Glam. “If you’re wearing it every day — even if it’s from a prince — you should love every detail.”
This isn’t the first time Meghan’s style choices have made waves, and it certainly won’t be the last. From monochrome chic to minimalist elegance, she’s proven time and again that royalty can evolve — and look fabulous doing it.
As always, Meghan’s message seems clear: Tradition is beautiful, but so is personal expression
