Meghan Markle has long been celebrated for putting her own modern spin on royal traditions, both big and small. Always one to blend protocol with personal meaning, she has quietly redefined what it means to follow tradition while staying true to herself. Now, in a move that reflects both her individuality and fashion sensibility, she has made a surprising adjustment to her engagement and wedding ring stack—one that stands out even in the world of high-profile jewelry. The Duchess of Sussex’s ring update is, once again, distinctly non-traditional.

Breaking royal norms, Meghan Markle’s unconventional style shines through in this bold tweak to her engagement and wedding rings, and it has a jewelry expert weighing in.

Meghan Markle, no stranger to updating her engagement and wedding rings, has once again drawn attention with a twist on her signature ring stack, this time spotted in her Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. Jewelry expert Maxwell Stone, while speaking to Hello Magazine, pointed out her unconventional style in a still where she opens a wine bottle, showcasing her left hand. Rather than following tradition, the Suits alum wore her engagement ring at the base, her eternity band in the middle, and her wedding band on top, flipping the custom of keeping the wedding ring closest to the heart.

This observation by Stone is a testament to how Meghan Markle often defies convention, demonstrating that personal preference can outweigh protocol. From Trooping the Color in 2019 to promotional photos for her lifestyle brand As Ever, her approach to ring stacking reflects her and Prince Harry’s modern, individualistic style, a subtle nod to their life beyond royal expectations. Meanwhile, Markle’s engagement and wedding ring switch-up comes amid rife rumors of her divorce from the Spare author.

Despite online speculation, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are not divorcing. His absence from With Love, Meghan season 2, unlike last season, sparked rumors, but it has nothing to do with their marriage. Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond explained that the Sussexes are focusing on separate career paths and individual projects at the moment—Markle on her Netflix endeavors, and Harry on philanthropic activities, highlighting that their screen separation is professional, not personal.

As Meghan Markle and Prince Harry navigate their separate ventures, the Duchess’s bold tweak to her engagement and wedding rings keeps the spotlight firmly on them and especially on her individuality. By flipping the traditional order of her £210k rings, she transforms a symbol of commitment into a canvas for self-expression—one that subtly echoes her role not just as a partner in marriage, but as a source of constant support as Prince Harry battles LA's beauty pressures. It is a reminder that, for Markle, even royal jewelry can be a reflection of personal style and modern thinking, non-traditional, striking, and entirely her own.
