Meghan Markle, now the Duchess of Sussex, was already a world-famous celebrity in her own right before integrating into the British Royal Family. Markle graduated from Northwestern University, USA with a double major in theatre and international studies. As well as appearing in popular television shows like Suits, where she played the savvy paralegal Rachel Zane for seven seasons from 2011 and 2018.
There was more to Meghan than just being an actress; she was a vocal advocate for women's empowerment, gender equality, and racial justice, while running her then successful lifestyle blog The Tig (now defunct).
In 2016, Prince Harry met Meghan on a date that was set up by one of their friends. Their connection bloomed into a full romance where they vowed to spend no longer than two weeks apart.
In November of 2017, Prince Harry’s proposal to Meghan Markle was officially announced by Clarence House. The Royal wedding took place on May 19, 2018, at St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle.

Prince Harry proposed to Meghan Markle with a custom-designed engagement ring, featuring a three stone design. The 3 carat cushion-cut centre stone was sourced from Botswana, due to the sentimental value the place holds in their relationship. In ‘Spare’ by Prince Harry, it reads that he invited Meghan on a trip to Botswana early in their relationship to get to know each other properly away from the public eye and paparazzi.
The two flanking round-cut diamonds on the ring are both estimated to be 0.75 carats each, totalling the ring to be 5 carats. The two side stones are from the late Princess Diana’s personal collection.
The three stone or trilogy design symbolises the past, present, and future. The centre stone being the largest, represents the present moment and the importance of being ‘in the moment’ together. The stone on the left symbolises the past and the stone on the right as the future.
The diamonds are set in a Welsh gold band, which is a longstanding tradition in the British royal family that dates back to 1923 when the Queen Mother chose the material for her own wedding ring. The nugget of gold was a gift to Prince Harry by Queen Elizabeth II and was presented to Meghan on her wedding day on May 19, 2018.

In 2017, Prince Harry designed a bespoke three-stone ring with the help of Cleave & Company, the late Queen Elizabeth's regular jeweller.
According to the 2020 biography Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan, per the Daily Mail, Harry reportedly began shopping for an engagement ring in May 2017. Prince Harry was sourcing a conflict-free stone while visiting Botswana in May 2017 as a patron of Rhino Conservation Botswana for his now wife’s perfect engagement ring.
In May 2019, the couple introduced their first born Prince Archie as well as a glittering addition to the ring - a dainty, micro pave ring as a push present from Prince Harry. The ring was said to be designed by renowned celebrity Jeweller Lorraine Schwartz.
In 2019, Meghan Markle debuted a new eternity ring as a gift to her by Prince Harry for the couple's one-year anniversary.
There were some speculations that the Duchess of Sussex appeared to have had the trio of diamonds reset from the original solid yellow gold band to a thin micro-pavé band, creating a subtle change.
