Meghan Markle stepped out at the premiere of her new film this week without her engagement ring, prompting fans and royal observers to notice the missing piece of jewellery.
The Duchess of Sussex attended a special screening of Cookie Queens in Los Angeles on Tuesday evening. The Girl Scout documentary, which Meghan and Prince Harry executive produced, marked her latest public appearance.
However, attention quickly turned to her jewellery, with observers noting that the engagement ring Prince Harry gave her in 2017 was not on her hand.
Meghan continued to wear her gold wedding band, but the striking engagement ring was absent.
The ring holds significant personal meaning for the couple. Its centrepiece is a cushion-cut diamond sourced from Botswana, a country that played an important role in their early courtship.
The design also features two smaller round-cut diamonds from the personal collection of Harry’s late mother, Princess Diana.
This is not the first time Meghan has appeared without the engagement ring in recent months.
During a visit to Jordan earlier this year, she was seen at the National Centre for Rehabilitation of Addicts wearing only her wedding band.
Meghan has not publicly addressed why she has chosen not to wear the engagement ring on those occasions, reports GB News.
Despite the missing ring, the Duchess shared a warm insight into her relationship with Harry as she spoke about the advice he gave her for getting through “tough days”.
Asked how she motivates herself during “tough moments”, Meghan said she often thinks back to something Harry told her “ages ago”, inspired by his 10 years flying helicopters for the British Army.
“Sometimes on really hard days, we were once, he said, ‘Hey, but my love, you know, even if there’s a storm happening above the storm, the sun’s always shining,'” Meghan told the audience.
She explained that the advice helped her change her perspective and that this shift “only comes when you think about zooming out a little.”
“I think so much of it, funny enough, I was thinking about something my husband told me ages ago, because we all go through experiences and life is full of surprises,” she said.
“So I think when you really zoom out and think, ‘My gosh, how many things have we gone through that have felt hard?’ And then you still get through them,” Meghan continued.
“Or how many goals do you think you’re not gonna hit? And then you hit them, and you supersede them.”
Meghan’s public praise of her husband came despite the ongoing attention surrounding her missing engagement ring, with her comments offering a personal glimpse into the support she says she has received from Harry.
