Meghan Markle’s Subtle Gesture: A Diamond Bracelet Gift from King Charles III
Amidst the ongoing tension between Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, and the royal family, there seems to be a nuanced hint from Meghan that she is open to rebuilding ties with her father-in-law, King Charles III.
Recently spotted in Santa Barbara, California, Meghan was seen wearing a diamond tennis bracelet that Charles reportedly gifted her before her 2018 wedding to Harry. The choice to publicly display this expensive gift suggests that the relationship between the Duchess and the King may not be irreparably damaged.
Notably, Meghan had also worn the same bracelet the day before her wedding at Cliveden House Hotel. The former “Suits” star showcased the elegant piece during her first royal tour with Harry, covering Australia, Fiji, New Zealand, and the Kingdom of Tonga—an important chapter in their journey. It’s evident that the bracelet holds sentimental value for Meghan.
Beyond being a personal adornment, Meghan wearing the tennis bracelet could be interpreted as a subtle expression of support for the King, who has faced media scrutiny recently. Omid Scobie’s latest book, “Endgame,” revived discussions about concerns within the royal family regarding the skin tone of Meghan and Harry’s first baby, Archie, as disclosed in their 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey.
While Meghan and Harry haven’t directly addressed these concerns, the Dutch version of “Endgame” reportedly identified King Charles III and Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, as the individuals involved. Prince William and Kate remained tight-lipped when questioned about the situation at the Royal Variety Performance red carpet, and there has been no official statement from Charles and Queen Camilla. Behind the scenes, discussions are likely unfolding regarding the revelations and their impact on the royal family.
