Meghan Markle with a pair of butterfly earrings
Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle has paid tribute to her late mother-in-law today by wearing a pair of earrings and a bracelet belonging to the late Princess of Hearts.

Diana left much of her jewellery collection to her sons’ future wives, writing in a letter:
“I would like you to allocate all my jewellery to the share which is to be held by my sons, so that their wives may in due course have it or use it.”
Among her vast collection are the glittering butterfly earrings worn by Meghan, which Diana wore to an event in the Canadian city of Prince George in May 1986.
Meanwhile, the bracelet sported by Meghan was seen on Diana on an outing to an elderly people’s home in Newham, east London, in 1990.
