Why Meghan Markle Felt Envious as Sophie Wessex Received £115,000 Ring from Queen

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, reportedly expressed feelings of jealousy as she witnessed Sophie, Countess of Wessex, being gifted a lavish engagement ring worth £115,000 by II.

The stunning sparkler adorning Sophie’s finger holds sentimental value, having been presented to her by , with deep connections to the Queen herself.

The engagement of Sophie and Edward marked a significant event for the royal family, signifying the union of their youngest son.

In an official statement released by the palace, it was announced that Prince Edward and Miss Sophie Rhys-Jones had received blessings for their engagement from both sets of parents during the festive season.

The joyous news was met with enthusiasm and delight from both families, culminating in the selection of a trilogy diamond ring for Sophie, featuring two heart-shaped stones, a design crafted by the renowned Royal Jeweller Garrard.

Clare Beetson, the general manager of Nightingale, a lab-grown engagement ring brand, lauded Sophie’s ring as another masterpiece from Garrard, boasting a two-carat oval diamond flanked by heart-cut diamonds.

Despite its opulence, Sophie’s ring is considered one of the more modestly priced engagement rings within the Royal Family, valued at £115,000.

The Queen’s own engagement ring, adorned with a sizable central stone and diamond clusters, holds a poignant backstory of love and sacrifice.

The choice of title for Prince Edward, who became the Earl of Wessex instead of receiving a dukedom like his brothers and nephews, was not a snub from the Queen but rather a personal preference of the prince himself.

His fascination with the character Lord Wessex from the film “Shakespeare in Love” influenced his decision, leading to the revival of the earldom of Wessex after centuries of disuse.

Despite initial expectations for a traditional dukedom, Edward’s unique request prevailed, much to the surprise of the public.

The prospect of Edward eventually being granted the title of Duke of Edinburgh, following the death of his father and the ascension of his elder brother, Prince Charles, has sparked speculation within royal circles.

Should this title be bestowed upon Edward, Sophie would assume the courtesy title of Duchess of Edinburgh, a position previously held by the Queen before her accession to the throne.

While the late had expressed his desire for Edward and Sophie to inherit the prestigious title, the final decision rests with Prince Charles upon his succession.

Reflecting on the unexpected proposal of the Duke of Edinburgh title, Sophie reminisced about the moment Prince Philip conveyed his wishes to them, expressing a mixture of surprise and honor.

The historical significance of the title, currently held by Prince Charles, adds a layer of complexity to the potential future roles of Edward and Sophie within the royal hierarchy.

As the royal family navigates the intricacies of succession and tradition, the anticipation surrounding the fate of the Duke of Edinburgh title remains a topic of intrigue and speculation.
