- On Friday, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry attended the David Foster Foundation's 40th anniversary gala in Victoria, British Columbia. Markle wore a Greta Constantine gown accessorized with diamond-encrusted butterfly earrings previously worn by Princess Diana.

- Beyond these earrings, Markle has worn other pieces from the late princess's collection, including an aquamarine cocktail ring. Speculation continues regarding whether she owns the gold Cartier Tank watch famously associated with Diana, though this remains unconfirmed.
