Diva Duchess Of Bling! Meghan Amasses More Jewelry Than Modest Kate
June 24 2019, Updated 12:44 p.m. ET
Meghan Markle has reportedly become a Duchess of dazzle as she's amassed thousands of dollars worth of jewelry in the past 18 months!
Prince Harry's wife is also outshining her sister-in-law Kate Middleton, who doesn't have nearly as much expensive bling, according to a new report in the Mail on Sunday.
After Meghan, 37, wore a diamond eternity ring Harry gave her to celebrate their first wedding anniversary at the Trooping of the Colour event in London this month, the former actress is believed to possess 600,000 English pounds worth of jewelry. That equals more than $764,000 in American dollars.
The eternity ring alone is worth more than $5,000 U.S.
Meghan's 91-piece jewelry haul after hooking up with Harry includes: Princess Diana's $95,000 aquamarine ring that the former Suits star wore on her wedding day; $76,000 Cartier drop earrings; and a set of pearl and diamond earrings from her grandmother-in-law the Queen which are worth about $5,000.
Her large collection already boasts seven necklaces, 23 bracelets, 26 rings and 35 pairs of earrings—and reportedly is more than was even in the late fashionista Princess Di's jewelry box!
It also puts the Duchess of Cambridge Kate's bling to shame.
Prince William's wife, 37, is said to currently own about 60 pieces of jewelry, including Diana's sapphire engagement ring worth an estimated 300,000 pounds (roughly $382,000 U.S.), and her pricey wedding gift from Crown Prince Fahd of Saudi Arabia which contained a sapphire watch, earrings, bracelet, ring and necklace.
Meghan has been seen wearing Diana's butterfly earrings and gold bracelet as her two sons have shared their mother's possessions.
Rumors have flown that flashy Meghan and modest Kate, the mother of three, have been feuding.
After Meghan and Harry's wedding on May 19, 2018, a source for The Sun said pointedly that the two women are "very different people." Kate supposedly hasn't liked the way Meghan, dubbed the diva Duchess, has handled royal staffers.
A few employees have quit after working for Meghan.
Although Kate has kept a regal silence regarding Meghan, they don't seem close. She and William didn't visit Meghan after she gave birth to baby Archie for eight days after Harry's wife gave birth.
And now it's clear the women's differences extend to their desire for bling!
