Kensington Palace announced the engagement of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on Monday, November 27, 2017. And today we decided to tell you all the details about the Ring.
When did Harry propose?
Harry proposed to Meghan earlier in November 2017 and Kensington Palace announced their engagement on November 27, 2017.
How did the couple meet?
Harry and Meghan met in the summer of 2016 in London through mutual friends. They started dating almost immediately.
However, they kept the relationship strictly confidential until they were photographed together during their first official vacation as a couple in September 2017.
It was at the Invictus Games in Toronto.
Official engagement announcement issued by Kensington Palace:
What does Meghan’s engagement ring look like?
The ring is a ring of three stones. Prince Harry confirmed that the main diamond came from Botswana and that he designed the ring himself.
Trilogy rings are a stunning and meaningful engagement choice. The three stones symbolize the couple’s past, present and future life together.
We know from an interview with the happy couple at the BBC that the two accent diamonds on either side of the center stone come from the personal collection of Princess Diana, Harry’s mother.
This gives a special meaning to the ring and makes it even more attractive.
We believe the center stone in Megan’s ring is cushion cut. Our jeweler’s estimate is that it probably weighs between 3.50 and 4 carats.
Cushion cut diamonds are known for their stunning iridescent brilliance with an inner fire.
The cushion cut is one of the oldest and most popular fancy diamond cuts. It was extremely in demand from the late 1800s to the early 1900s.
The fact that Prince Harry chose this shape of the diamond proves its timeless beauty and quality.
Mistress of the Ring – Meghan Markle
Meghan Markle is an American actress. She is known not only for her role in the popular US legal drama Suits, but also for her humanitarian work at the UN as an advocate for women’s political rights and leadership.
Her father is known for his work in the television industry and Meghan grew up in Hollywood.
She graduated from Northwestern University with a bachelor’s degree in theater and international relations.
The actress was previously married to Trevor Engelson, but they divorced in 2013. She is 36 and three years older than 33-year-old Prince Harry. Although today they say that Megan is actually older, and she hides her real age.
Meghan’s ring compared to her previous engagement ring
Meghan’s previous engagement ring, given to her by Trevor Engelson, looked like a princess-cut diamond ring, probably around 2.00 carats.
The ring was made of white gold or platinum with smaller diamonds on the rim of the ring.
As in the case of Kate Middleton, after the engagement, rings of this design became leaders in sales. Do you like Meghan Markle’s ring?
