Meghan Markle was recently snapped without her diamond engagement ring, which is what Prince Harry gave to the then-actress when the couple became engaged six years ago. And now the reason behind the missing ring has been revealed.
In a new snap shared online, the Duchess of Sussex can be seen without her £156k engagement ring while posing with pals on a belated birthday dinner. The ring was given to her when Prince Harry proposed in 2017. But after the new snap emerged, where Meghan seemingly ditched the sparkler, fans have been quick to speculate the couple's romance could be hitting the rocks.

While dining with her pals Kadi Lee and Cleo Wade, the Duchess' sparkly ring was noticeably replaced with a simple and understated gold band, with this apparently done for one important reason. Speaking to Page Six, a source claimed the ring is "being fixed", hence the fact that it was missing from her ring finger.
The missing ring was custom designed for the former actress, with one diamond featured on the sparkler from Botswana, and two smaller stones from his late mother Princess Diana’s collection. Harry is said to have designed the ring himself with the help of esteemed jewellers Cleave and Company.

Meghan was spotted without the ring in a new snap (highbrowhippie/Instagram)This comes after we reported that the new snap of Meghan with her friends shows that she could be trying to "establish her own individual identity" after posing with pals but failing to share anything to do with her family for quite some time. Speaking to The Mirror US in an exclusive chat, senior therapist and relationship expert Sally Baker from Working On The Body said that the Duchess "may be seeking to establish her individual identity separate from her role as a wife or mother".
Sally then touched on: "After becoming a parent, individuals often experience a shift in their sense of self and may feel a need to reconnect with their own interests, friendships, and personal pursuits."
