In a jaw-dropping claim that has sent shockwaves through royal circles, a new report has surfaced alleging that the late Princess Diana left instructions for her jewellery to be shared between her two daughters-in-law — Catherine, Princess of Wales, and Meghan Markle.
According to the story, Diana’s will supposedly stated that her jewels should be held by her sons “so that their wives may, in due course, have it or use it.”
But here’s the problem: Princess Diana died on 31 August 1997. Meghan Markle was a 16-year-old high school student in Los Angeles who had never met Harry, never met Diana, and was still years away from even becoming an actress anyone had heard of.
So how exactly did Diana “want” to include a complete stranger in the distribution of her most personal treasures?
Royal insiders are calling the entire narrative what it is: a calculated, desperate PR stunt from the Sussex camp designed to rewrite history and paint Meghan as some kind of overlooked victim who was “denied” her “rightful” share of Diana’s legacy.
The Reality Check Nobody Wants to Hear
Let’s be crystal clear with the timeline:
- Diana tragically died in Paris in 1997.
- Harry and Meghan didn’t meet until July 2016 — nearly two decades later.
- They married in 2018.
There is zero possibility that Diana ever discussed, let alone approved of, Meghan Markle receiving her jewellery. The suggestion is not just historically inaccurate — it’s insulting to Diana’s memory.
Yet somehow, this story has been pushed into the headlines right now. Coincidence? Hardly.
What Catherine Actually Received — And Why It Matters
Catherine, Princess of Wales, wears Diana’s iconic 12-carat Ceylon sapphire engagement ring — the very ring Prince William chose for her because it represented love, continuity, and respect for his mother’s legacy.
She also regularly wears Diana’s beloved pearl pieces: the four-strand pearl choker, the Collingwood teardrop pearl earrings Charles gave Diana on their wedding day, and several other elegant items. Catherine wears them with quiet dignity, never using them as props for Netflix documentaries or tabloid sympathy plays.
These pieces have stayed exactly where Diana would have wanted them — with the woman who would one day become Queen Consort, raising the next generation of the monarchy with grace and stability.
What Meghan Actually Got — And Why She’s Still Complaining
Meghan received Diana’s aquamarine “divorce ring” — a piece Diana commissioned herself after separating from Charles as a symbol of her independence and new chapter. Harry gave it to her. She wore it to their wedding reception and has been seen with it only a handful of times since.
She has also been photographed wearing Diana’s yellow gold Cartier Tank watch, a diamond tennis bracelet, and some butterfly earrings.
That’s it.
No sapphire engagement ring. No iconic pearl chokers. No major statement pieces from Diana’s most famous collections.
And yet, according to this latest narrative, we’re supposed to believe Diana specifically wanted Meghan to have equal access to everything.
The audacity is almost impressive.
The “Disappeared” Jewels and the Real Fear
The GB News report also quietly admits that several of Diana’s most iconic pieces have “disappeared entirely from public view” since 1997 — including the sapphire and diamond pearl choker she wore with the famous “revenge dress,” and the extravagant Crescent suite gifted by the Sultan of Oman.
Royal watchers have long speculated about where these pieces ended up. What is crystal clear is this: Prince William has taken firm control of his mother’s legacy and is ensuring the most meaningful items stay within the core royal family — with Catherine and, eventually, Princess Charlotte.
He is not about to hand irreplaceable family heirlooms to a couple who stepped back from royal duties, signed multimillion-dollar Netflix deals trashing the family, and have spent years monetising their connection to the Crown while living in California.
The Seance Theory Making the Rounds
Across social media, royal watchers are having a field day with the timing and absurdity of the claim.
“Did she tell you that from beyond the grave?”
“Was this revealed during a séance?”
“Meghan throwing a fit because she wasn’t given ENOUGH free jewellery.”
The jokes write themselves because the claim is so obviously ridiculous. Diana never met Meghan. She never could have intended for her jewels to go to a woman who would later accuse the royal family of racism and then flee to America to sell stories about them.
The Bottom Line
This isn’t about jewellery.
This is about legacy.
Princess Diana’s memory and her personal belongings are being weaponised once again by the very people who have made a career out of exploiting the royal connection they claim to have escaped.
Catherine wears Diana’s ring with love and quiet pride.
Meghan wears what she was given and still wants more — more attention, more sympathy, more pieces of a legacy she has no rightful claim to.
Prince William’s message, delivered through actions rather than words, remains crystal clear:
Diana’s jewels stay with the people who honour her memory — not the ones who exploit it.
The grift stops here.
