Why Meghan Markle, NOT Kate, could've worn Princess Diana's engagement ring?
She is expected to marry Prince Harry.
But, if or when the engagement is officially announced, Meghan Markle wont be wearing the famous blue sapphire ring that once belonged to his mother, Princess Diana.
Thats because - although he chose it as a memento after her untimely death in 1997 - the young royal later bestowed it to his brother, Prince William, when he wed Kate Middleton.
Instead, its assumed hell offer the TV actress another, lesser-known ring from the Princess of Wales collection.
According to the Mail On Sunday, one possible option is is an emerald choker gifted by the Queen.
Another is a set of sapphire jewels received as a wedding present from the Saudi Crown Prince.
Although both of royal significance, neither are likely to match the popularity of the blue sapphire ring which she was given from Prince Charles to mark their engagement.
It became the subject of much attention when it prominently featured in the official photograph taken after the announcement of their engagement in 1981.
The latest development comes shortly after claims Harry and Meghan could announce their marriage plans as early as Tuesday.
The pair finalised plans in a series of meetings with royal courtiers last week.
And word got out that the BBC has been primed for a royal announcement.
It is expected the announcement will be made this coming week, perhaps on Tuesday when Prime Minister Theresa May is scheduled to hold a regular cabinet meeting.
The pair are thought to have been putting off a public announcement because theyre busy sorting out their living arrangements.
Its been reported that the 36-year-old actress has already started unpacking her bags at Harrys royal residence Nottingham Cottage within the grounds of Kensington Palace, having flown into London this month.
