Some critics on social media questioned Meghan’s right to wear the necklace, arguing that Diana would not have approved of her actions. Harsh comments suggested that Meghan was undeserving of the late princess’s jewelry, while others accused her of trying to manipulate Diana’s legacy.
Despite the backlash, Meghan also received support. Fans argued that Diana would have been happy to see her jewelry passed down and worn by her daughters-in-law.
Many pointed out that both William and Harry had given their wives access to their mother’s collection, emphasizing that it was a personal family decision rather than a public matter.
This isn’t the first time Meghan’s jewelry has been a talking point. In May 2023, she wore a Clarity Retreat necklace, which symbolizes “letting go of what no longer serves you.” Many believed this was a subtle message about her strained relationship with the royal family, particularly since she was not invited to King Charles III’s coronation.

Beyond fashion, Meghan and Harry’s actions continue to be scrutinized, especially since stepping back from their royal roles. Their decision to relaunch their website under their royal titles and Harry’s solo trip to the UK following King Charles’ cancer diagnosis fueled further speculation.
However, Meghan remains a public figure admired by many. In early 2024, a portrait of her was released to announce her podcast partnership with Lemonada Media, earning widespread praise. Observers also noted her Cartier Tank watch, another piece once owned by Diana, further linking her to the beloved princess.
Regardless of differing opinions, it is undeniable that Princess Diana’s memory continues to live on—through her sons, their wives, and the jewelry she once cherished.
