‘A Nod to Princess Diana’: The 'Hidden' Link Behind Meghan’s ‘Butterfly’ Earrings Owned by Late Mother-in-Law

The duchess paired a Greta Constantine gown with the diamond-and-sapphire butterfly earrings she first wore publicly in 2018.

  • 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.
  • Princess Diana first wore the diamond and sapphire butterfly studs during an official 1986 visit to Canada. Markle has donned the heirloom jewelry on five public occasions, including trips to Australia in 2018 and Colombia in 2024.
  • The event celebrated 40 years of the David Foster Foundation, which provides financial assistance to Canadian families with children awaiting organ transplants. The couple coordinated their look with matching black evening attire.
  • This tribute follows a recent visit by the Sussexes and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, to Althorp, the childhood home of Diana. Inherited jewelry remains a significant way for both princes to honor their late mother.
  • 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.
