Princess Diana's iconic sapphire and pearl choker, a gift from the Saudi royal family, hasn't been seen publicly since her 1997 death and is believed to be with her sons, Princes William and Harry, though rumors persist that Meghan Markle's engagement ring incorporates two diamonds from the necklace. It's speculated the choker rests in a vault or with her children, waiting for a future appearance, possibly by Princess Catherine (Kate Middleton) or even Princess Charlotte, continuing Diana's jewelry legacy.
It has not been seen or exhibited since, and now belongs to Prince William and Prince Harry. Though unconfirmed, many speculate Meghan Markle's engagement ring, which she first wore in November 2017 at her engagement announcement with Prince Harry, includes two diamonds from Diana's famous sapphire and pearl choker.

Princess Diana stopped wearing Chanel in the years following her divorce – and RadarOnline.com can reveal her decision was driven by the fact the brand's famous interlocking Cs reminded her of the then-Prince Charles' affair with Camilla Parker Bowles.
Diana turned the brooch into a pendant, wearing it on the diamond necklace, which is part of the Saudi Sapphire suite, a wedding present in 1981. After Diana's death it was returned to the Collection. Both Camilla and now Catherine have worn the brooch in its original form as wives of The Prince of Wales.
Princess Diana's 70ct sapphire choker, thought to be worth £100Million, is owned by Princes William and Harry. It has not been worn by a Royal since her death.
She loved wearing brands, which included Chanel. However, the then Princess of Wales stopped wearing Chanel following her divorce. Apparently, the label's logo, the double interlocking C's, reminded her of the betrayal she had by Prince Charles because of his then-affair with Camilla Parker Bowles.
As Maxwell Stone told Express, Camilla has worn and redesigned several pieces over the years that were “once loved by Princess Diana,” causing “quite a lot of controversy” by doing so.
Princess Margaret didn't bow to Princess Diana's coffin at her funeral primarily due to a deep-seated resentment stemming from Diana's 1995 tell-all Panorama interview, which Margaret saw as a severe betrayal of the Royal Family and the Queen; Margaret never forgave Diana for publicly airing grievances and challenging royal decorum, viewing her as a disloyal figure, leading to her snub during the funeral procession despite their initially warm relationship.
The 3-3-3 clothing rule is a simple styling method for creating many outfits from few items: choose 3 tops, 3 bottoms, and 3 shoes, which allows for 27 potential combinations (3x3x3) and reduces decision fatigue, often used for travel or building a minimalist capsule wardrobe. It's a versatile concept, sometimes expanded to include 3 layers (like jackets or cardigans) for even more looks, making dressing easier by focusing on mix-and-match versatility with core pieces.
The ring may be the most well-known piece Middleton inherited from Diana via her husband, but it's far from the only one she's worn. She's also donned earrings, tiaras, necklaces, and bracelets which were once beloved by the People's Princess—a noted jewelry aficionado in her lifetime.
Queen Elizabeth II holds the title for the most expensive royal wedding dress in history. Designed by Norman Hartnell in 1947, the gown, made from duchess satin and adorned with floral appliqués, cost $42,000 at the time—equivalent to over $1.6 million today.
After Diana's passing, her sons, William and Harry, inherited her jewellery. They agreed to share her collection, with the ring eventually going to Prince William, who later used it to propose to Kate Middleton in 2010. Since then, Catherine, Princess of Wales, has worn it, adding to its legacy and significance.
Princess Diana was wearing a ring given to her by Dodi Al Fayed when she died - but they were not going to marry, her former butler Paul Burrell discloses in a new book.
I omitted obey from my vows.
Jan. 15, 2008 — -- When the people's princess died, it was ex-flame Hasnat Khan, a Pakistani surgeon, whom Diana truly still loved and not Dodi Fayed, who was just a rebound, Diana's former personal butler Paul Burrell testified Monday. "This was the man she loved more than any other," Burrell told the court.
Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh (then Sophie Rhys-Jones) did not attend Princess Diana's funeral in 1997, reportedly because her strong resemblance to Diana would have been too upsetting for the grieving crowds, a decision made thoughtfully by Sophie herself. At the time, she was dating Prince Edward, but they were not yet engaged or married.
The only way Princess Diana could have survived is if she had been wearing a seat belt. There is a lot of space in the back of a limo and she flew a long way out of her seat before hitting the back of the front seats.

Queen Camilla was diagnosed with a form of pneumonia following a chest infection in late 2024, which caused fatigue and led to her missing some public engagements, though she continued with indoor duties and worked towards recovery, managing lingering post-viral tiredness with rest. Her illness was initially described as a "nasty bug," but she later confirmed the pneumonia diagnosis herself, requiring a modified schedule for a period.
Meghan Markle's jewelry collection includes several heirloom pieces from the late Princess of Wales. The Duchess of Sussex wore Diana's iconic "divorce ring" to her 2018 wedding reception, for example. She has since stepped out in earrings, bracelets, and necklaces that once belonged to her late mother-in-law.
No, King Charles and Queen Camilla generally sleep in separate bedrooms, a common practice among the British upper class and royals, including the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, as it helps maintain their relationship and allows for personal space, with both having their own rooms at residences like Clarence House and private country homes.
Although the family was aware of Diana's bulimia, she struggled with the illness for many years, not seeking treatment until the late 1980s. However, this fact was not revealed to the public until 1992, when Andrew Morton published a book about the Princess of Wales.
“In the '80s, a lot of people were wearing blue eyeliner, and she was so young! She could get away with doing whatever she wanted,” says Greenwell. “She was experimental and absolutely loved makeup, but when she went out on the red carpet, we just tried to make her as glamorous and gorgeous as possible for the time.”
Princess Diana had several favorite perfumes, but Van Cleef & Arpels First (a floral aldehyde) and Penhaligon's Bluebell (a fresh floral) were among her most beloved daily scents, while Hermès 24 Faubourg (jasmine, orange blossom, vanilla) was a favorite for evenings, and she famously wore Houbigant Quelques Fleurs (a rich floral) on her wedding day. Prince Harry noted First as a significant scent for him, while her butler mentioned 24 Faubourg as an everyday choice.
