Privacy NoticeMeghan Markle has been spotted without the white diamond engagement ring given to her by Prince Harry when they got engaged in 2017. The Duchess of Sussex, 43, was seen on her second solo appearance in recent weeks as she visited Girls, Inc. of Greater Santa Barbara to mark the International Day of the Girl, where she showed off her maternal side as she drew pictures with young girls at the event. Meghan, who is mum to Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, showed off her great sense of style as she wore a blue shirt tucked into wide-legged white trousers that were cinched in at the waist with a tan belt that matched her heels. She wore her dark hair in her signature loose waves, and opted for subtle makeup. Noticeably, the Duchess was not wearing the £150,000 engagement ring that Prince Harry, 40, proposed to her with seven years ago, and instead, she opted to wear a simple platinum band on her wedding finger.

Meghan’s engagement ring was designed by Harry and includes two diamonds from his late mother, Princess Diana’s own jewellery collection. It’s not the first time Meghan has been seen without the ring on her finger, as she also forewent it at the 2023 Women of Vision Awards in May last year, as well as a number of other occasions. During the event, Meghan is claimed to have said she is “one of the most bullied people in the world”. Larissa May, founder of #HalfTheStory, shared with Vanity Fair that Meghan spoke candidly about her experiences with bullying. She said: “We did an activity where we talked through a bunch of different scenarios, and Meghan talked about being one of the most bullied people in the world. We had girls wave these little emoji signs and talk about how each one of these scenarios would have impacted them emotionally.”

Ms May added: “We talked about what it really means to grow up in this digital age,” The Social Media U curriculum is designed to encourage teens to socialise without screens, while also teaching them how to use technology creatively and positively. Meghan, along with Prince Harry and their children, has been carving out a new life away from the Royal Family, after the couple left ‘The Firm’ in 2020 and departed the UK for America, where they new reside in a multimillion dollar mansion in Montecito, California.
