Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has been making headlines recently after being seen in public without her iconic engagement ring from Prince Harry.
The absence of the sparkling three-stone ring has ignited rumors about the state of Meghan and Harry's marriage.
The couple, who got engaged in November 2017, has been the subject of much speculation as they have been spending time apart to focus on individual projects.
Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, has been busy with various engagements, including speaking at an International Sports Promotion Association summit in Japan and participating in a polo match in Singapore to raise funds for the charity CentiBill, which he co-founded in 2006.
Additionally, Harry is gearing up for the release of “Heart of Invictus” on Netflix, a docuseries that he has executive produced, set to premiere on August 30.
Meanwhile, Meghan has been enjoying her time with friends and was recently spotted at Taylor Swift's concert in LA with her boyfriend, Lucie Fraser.
The recent sighting of Meghan without her engagement ring has raised eyebrows, with some speculating that there may be trouble in paradise.
However, a source close to the couple revealed that the diamond ring is simply undergoing repairs, putting to rest any breakup rumors.
The bespoke engagement ring holds sentimental value, featuring a diamond from Botswana, a country significant to the couple, and two smaller stones from Princess Diana's collection.
Harry shared in an interview with the BBC that the ring was designed with Meghan's favorite yellow gold and diamonds from his late mother's jewelry to symbolize her presence in their journey together.
Meghan expressed her admiration for the thoughtful inclusion of Princess Diana's stones in the design.
Since their engagement, the ring has undergone a transformation, with the original yellow gold diamond band being replaced following the birth of their son, Archie.
Despite facing ongoing rumors about their relationship, Meghan and Harry have continued to show a united front.
The couple recently appeared in a video for their Archwell Foundation, marking their return to the public eye after a brief hiatus.
Looking ahead, Meghan and Harry are set to travel to Germany in September for the next edition of the Invictus Games, an event founded by Harry in 2014.
The couple will play integral roles in the closing ceremony, with Harry delivering a farewell speech and Meghan hosting the Scene of Life segment, showcasing the courage and resilience of the participants.
As the Duke and Duchess of Sussex navigate the challenges of public scrutiny, their unwavering commitment to their charitable endeavors remains steadfast.
