5 Most Expensive Things Meghan Markle Inherited From Princess Diana After Marrying Harry

Princess Diana’s jewelry collection has remained one of the most talked-about parts of her fashion legacy, and some of her most special pieces were eventually passed down to Meghan Markle. And some of them carry eye-watering price tags. Here are five of the most expensive pieces from Diana’s collection that the Duchess owns.

One of the most valuable pieces Markle has from Diana’s collection is her Cartier diamond tennis bracelet. According to experts at Seven Stone, the piece is estimated to be worth around $175,000. The late Princess was photographed wearing the bracelet several times, including at the 1997 American Red Cross Gala in Washington, D.C. Harry later gave the bracelet to Markle, who first wore it publicly at a state dinner in Fiji in 2018. She has since worn it for several high-profile appearances, including her 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey. The bracelet also connects to Meghan’s engagement ring, as two of its diamonds were reportedly used in the ring.

Diana’s love for the striking blue stone gave this Asprey ring its own story. She had it made in 1996 with a large aquamarine gem reportedly gifted by her friend Lucia Flecha de Lima, setting it in 24-carat gold. The late Princess wore the ring several times before Harry eventually gave it to Markle. She chose it for her evening wedding reception in 2018, pairing the jewel with her Stella McCartney dress. As per Tatler, the jewelry piece is estimated at around $100,000.

Markle’s Cartier Tank Française was once Diana’s, who wore the 18-carat gold watch at several public appearances in the 1990s. The Duchess already had her own two-tone Cartier Tank, which she reportedly bought after Suits was renewed for another season and engraved it with “To MM from MM.” Harry later gave her his mother’s gold watch, which Markle first wore in 2020, including in the portrait released ahead of the Sussexes’ TIME100 Talks appearance. Seven Stone revealed that the watch is originally worth $23,000, but the value has likely increased due to its history.

The gold sapphire cuff is another piece Markle has worn that once belonged to Diana. The bracelet features two large blue cabochon sapphires surrounded by smaller diamonds, giving it a pretty striking look. Meghan first wore it during the Sussexes’ 2018 Australia tour and brought it out again at the 2022 NAACP Image Awards, pairing it with her blue Christopher John Rogers dress. Steven Stone puts the value of the bracelet at around $32,250.

The diamond and sapphire butterfly earrings are one of the smaller pieces in Markle’s collection, but they have quite a history. The late Princess of Wales wore the pair during a 1986 royal tour of British Columbia, years before Markle got her hands on them. The Duchess first wore the earrings in Sydney during the Sussexes’ 2018 Australia tour and has brought them out several times since. Steven Stone estimates the pair at around $6,500.
