Meghan Markle’s thinly-veiled message to Royal Family before leaving Harry solo

Meghan Markle has been spotted wearing a new piece of jewellery that eagle-eyed fans have noticed appears to have a major reminder of her previous royal life

Meghan Markle’s new bold piece of jewellery could be a hidden plea to the royals, according to an expert.

During her time at the Invictus Games in Canada, earlier this week with Prince Harry, the Duchess of Sussex has been sporting a brand new signet ring on her pinky finger on her right hand.

And according to eagle-eyed royal watchers, the new piece of jewellery appears to be engraved with Harry and Meghan’s joint royal cypher that they unveiled when they married back in 2018. The monogram is made up of the letters ‘H’ and ‘M’ in cursive writing. The logo is topped with a coronet with two cross pattées, four fleurs-de-lys and two strawberry leaves.

The emblem was used on their previous Sussex Royal website and social media accounts although it appears it was ditched from their stationery in favour of the Archewell logo several years ago. And royal expert and biographer Ingrid Seward says the new piece of jewellery is certainly sending a statement – especially to the Royal Family.

She told the Mirror: “Traditionally signet rings have a larger face than the one Meghan is wearing, but there is no reason why she can’t use her royal cypher on an article of jewellery. I don’t think it has any particular significance apart from the snob value of reminding people that she has a royal cypher.

“I think Meghan wants to be accepted by the firm for the sake of the children. The royal family must know she will never go away so the less fuss they make about what she does the less attention is focussed on her.”

Meghan isn’t the only royal to wear a pinky finger signet ring. King Charles also wears one with the Prince of Wales feathers and he gifted one to Princess Diana the night before their wedding in 1981. It is not the first time that Meghan’s jewellery has been the subject of much debate. Just weeks ago many believed that her engagement ring had gone through yet another tweak.
