But these rumors aren't all hot air – we're absolutely witnessing the ex-Royal pair showing up together way less. And now, here comes another juicy tidbit that's bound to set tongues wagging: A snapshot shows Markle grinning with pals, but hey, no £156,000 diamond sparkler on her finger!
From The Daily Star:
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex recently marked their five-year anniversary amid rumours of tension between the pair, and with the ex-royal duo having been notably absent from the spotlight in recent weeks.
In June commentator Daniela Elser, addressing the speculation, said the alleged breakdown in their marriage was perhaps inevitable.
Now Meghan has been pictured without her engagement ring in an Instagram snap alongside friends. However, her wedding ring is clearly visible.
The expensive piece of jewellery is made up of two diamonds from one of Princess Diana's bracelets, with Prince Harry said to have asked his brother Prince William's permission to use them for the £156,000 accessory.
Its absence will no doubt further fuel split rumours, but a source has recently said the couple weren't impressed with the negative claims about the nature of their marriage and insisted that Harry and Meghan have a strong foundation and are determined to work through any potential obstacles.
The insider told the news outlet: "The Sussexes’ marriage is fine," and added: "Even if there were struggles, Harry would want to make it work.
Well, no matter what their PR folks might claim, ditching the engagement ring is never a positive sign.
This is especially true for Meghan, whose every single step is scrutinized like crazy. She's got to realize that all eyes are on the lookout for any cracks in the marriage. If everything was smooth sailing, why go ahead and show up without that rock on her finger, right?
