Prince William ‘banned’ Meghan Markle from wearing Princess Diana’s jewelry: book
Prince William banned Meghan Markle from wearing the late Princess Diana’s jewelry at her wedding to Prince Harry, a new book has claimed.
According to royal correspondent and author Robert Jobson, the Prince of Wales, 42, was concerned about his now-estranged brother’s fast-moving relationship with the “Suits” alum.
In an excerpt from his upcoming book, “Catherine, the Princess of Wales” obtained by the Daily Mail, Jobson said the current heir to the throne urged his younger brother, 39, to “cool the relationship” by giving Markle, 42, a chance to adjust to the royal way of life before locking it down with a ring.
William, still concerned by the match, even sought assurances from the Queen that his brother’s bride-to-be would not wear any jewelry in the collection once worn by Diana, Princess of Wales, even though his wife Catherine had been allowed to wear some, which would be due to her rank,” Jobson wrote.
William, for his part, proposed to Princess Catherine with the late Princess Diana’s famous 12-carat sapphire and diamond ring.
