Royal Wedding: Meghan Markle honored Princess Diana by wearing her aquamarine ring at Frogmore House reception
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended their wedding reception hosted by Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles at Frogmore House.
Meghan Markle honored Princess Diana by wearing her aquamarine ring on her right hand and kept the tradition of a "something blue". She wore a custom silk Stella McCartney evening dress in “lily white.”
Although, Markle and Harry exchanged rings at the altar at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, but Meghan debuted a new piece of jewelry while on her way to their evening wedding reception.
Her aquamarine ring was seen while she waved at photographers as she sat in the silver-blue Jaguar E-Type Concept Zero Harry was driving.
Princess Diana wore the emerald cut Aquamarine stunner to an auction of her own clothes at Christie’s in 1997. The jewel is part of a set — the other piece is an aquamarine bracelet, where it’s connected by five strands of pearls. She wore both to a gala dinner in Australia in 1996.

Eva Hartling, the vice president of Maison Birks — Meghan’s favorite brand told People, “I thought she could have gone with something blue with a piece of jewelry for example in her first look, but we saw it in her second look with her ring belonging to Diana. I think that was symbolic.”
According to the palace, Meghan's pair of heels were from her favorite footwear brands — Aquazurra — that are “made in silky satin, with nude mesh, with soles painted in baby blue." She also wore a pair of diamond drop earrings.
