It looks like Meghan Markle finally ditched her engagement ring. The Duchess of Sussex appeared bare handed during a recent appearance in New York City. The former Suits actress won the Women of Vision award.
Meghan Markle Without Her Ring
She won for feminism at the Ms Foundation gala. Her high-profile without the eye-wateringly expensive PS140,000 diamond ring caused a stir. The one-of-a-kind sparkler features two diamonds from the late Princess Diana’s collection.
The former Hollywood actress usually wears her diamond ring alongside her gold wedding band and eternity ring. In the picture posted to Instagram, Meghan embraced two of her friends. She did so while looking elegant in a black cami top and matching skirt.
Meghan was also wearing a Ariel Gordon Imperial Disc Pendant Necklace that costs around $1,840. The Duchess kept her ring off for the event. Though she did keep her gold wedding band on.
She also swapped out her existing bespoke turquoise Jennifer Meyer ring with a gold and teal-colored gemstone style. She has went ring-free before, however. She removed her sparkler in March while eight months pregnant and again for her appearance at Cape Town’s Monwabisi Beach this week.
The decision to remove the bauble is likely down to her preference to keep her accessories low-key for her tour of Africa. While the Duchess‘ decision to go ring-free may be down to simple styling choices, it has been taken as a sign of rifts within her marriage. Rumors have been swirling that the pair struggled due to Meghan’s declining popularity.
Sources denied any tension between the happy couple. Nevertheless, the sighting of Meghan’s ring-less hand will certainly fuel any split rumors.
But some are still concerned about any potential tension between the newlyweds. In the meantime, we’re sure that they’ll be keeping their fingers crossed for smooth sailing from here on out.
