When they got engaged in 2017, Prince Harry gave Meghan Markle a stunning trilogy ring that boasts a large central diamond from Botswana, where the couple previously vacationed together, flanked on either side by two smaller jewels that belonged to his late mother Princess Diana.
The stones were specially selected by Harry, who told the BBC, hours after they announced their engagement: “The ring is obviously yellow gold because that’s [Meghan’s] favourite and the main stone itself I sourced from Botswana and the little diamonds either side are from my mother’s jewellery collection, to make sure that she’s with us on this crazy journey together.”
