Meghan Markle has surfaced in an Instagram video wearing a stunning new ring, featuring a blue jewel on her finger for her As Ever lifestyle brand, hinting that it is an anniversary present from Prince Harry on their 7th anniversary last month.
Fans could not help comparing it with Kate Middleton’s engagement ring, a blue sapphire inherited from her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, sparking subtle jealousy claims by the public.

Adding fuel to the supposed copycat controversy is supported by the fact that Princess Catharine’s ring is one of the most distinctive pieces of jewellery in the world, one that was donned by Princess Diana, who had picked out the ring from Garrard before her marriage to the now-King Charles III in 1981, and is worth a whopping £390,000.
According to Hello!, Markle’s engagement ring features a cushion-cut diamond from Botswana and two smaller round-cut diamonds from the personal collection of Harry’s late mother, Princess Diana, supposedly worth around £120,000. Sparking the question: Is Markle trying to one-up Middleton with the new ring?
In an X post uploaded by the Royal Insider, fans and followers are full of questions and exclamations around the new ring.
One claimed that the image was “photoshopped” and uploaded a photo of the real ring Markle is flaunting. A certain comparison between Markle’s wedding ring, designed by her husband, and Princess Catherine’s priceless heirloom has sparked reactions online.
One comment read, “The jealousy is oozing out of her just like hundreds of jars of unsold spread” while another doubled down on Markle, saying, “Watch she doesn’t steal the real ring, don’t let her in the Palace alone, check for mics and cameras on her.” One lashed back, saying, “To me that picture says…. Watch out, Catherine,I’m coming for your ring. You have to remember how a narcissist thinks.”
While the new ring’s origin remains unconfirmed, its subtle design has been enough to reignite comparisons between the two royal women.
