New claims suggest that Prince William reportedly prohibited Meghan Markle from wearing any of Princess Diana’s cherished jewelry. This assertion comes from Robert Jobson’s forthcoming book, Catherine, the Princess of Wales: A Biography of the Future Queen. According to Jobson, the Duke of Cambridge had reservations about Meghan’s use of these significant pieces, given their profound emotional and historical significance.
The biography reveals that during the tense period leading up to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding, Prince William sought assurances from Queen Elizabeth II regarding Meghan’s access to Diana’s jewelry. The alleged request stemmed from William’s discomfort with the union and his concerns over potential media scrutiny and controversy surrounding Meghan’s association with the iconic pieces.
Despite this purported restriction, Meghan Markle has been observed wearing several items from Diana’s collection. Notably, she wore Diana’s aquamarine cocktail ring at her wedding reception, paired with a Stella McCartney dress. Additionally, Meghan has sported other pieces, including a Cartier bracelet and butterfly earrings, indicating that she may have had some access to Diana’s collection despite the reported ban.
These revelations add another layer to the complex and often strained relationships within the British royal family. Since stepping back from their royal duties and relocating to the United States, Prince Harry and Meghan’s relationship with Prince William and other family members has been fraught with tension. Their high-profile interviews, Netflix documentary series, and Harry’s memoir, Spare, have only intensified the public scrutiny and deepened the rift.
As these new details come to light, the public remains fascinated by the evolving dynamics of the British royals. Whether these latest allegations will provoke an official response from the royal family or continue to fuel public speculation remains to be seen.
