Recent reports by People, however, have narrowed down the actual reason the Duchess has not been wearing the royal inheritance. The large cushion-cut diamond-centered ring has been given for servicing since People suggested the fitting for Meghan Markle has become loose over time. As is widely popular, the gems hailed exclusively from Princess Diana’s jewelry box with the help of Queen Elizabeth’s trusted jeweler.
