Markle has worn Diana’s tennis bracelet on several occasions since she reportedly received it as a gift from her husband, Prince Harry, 2018. It appeared on the Duchess’ wrist during her televised interview with Oprah in 2021. People reported that the couple decided together that Markle would wear the bracelet so that “Diana could be with them” at the taping.

According to CBS News, Prince Harry had two diamonds removed from the Cartier piece to create Markle’s engagement ring. The single-strand bracelet features approximately 20 carats of diamonds, with its value estimated at $150,000.

Diana was photographed wearing the bracelet at a preview of her 1997 Christie’s dress auction in London, as well as at a Red Cross gala earlier that year.
