Earlier this month Meghan Markle was snapped without her diamond engagement ring, the one that Prince Harry gave to the then-actress when the couple became engaged six years ago. But now it has emerged that it wasn't the first time she ditched the sparkler, with Harry supposedly "uneasy" at her barren ring finger.
Meghan is said to have stepped out without her £156K engagement ring on numerous occasions over the past few months amid circling divorce and split rumours after the couple parted ways with Spotify before being snubbed at the Emmys. Reports say that she didn't wear the ring in March, May, and August, with only her wedding ring being worn on her ring finger.

The source even said that the Duchess of Sussex "knows exactly what she's doing", with there being "a million ways she could avoid showing off the hand when out and about".
The source added that instead of not flaunting her hand, she's instead been "plopping it right in front of the camera for the world to see. It's nothing short of brazen and completely careless". They added that she knows that by ditching her engagement ring and putting it on show will start rumours galore regarding the state of her and Harry's marriage.
The source then touched on how Harry will be meeting his father, King Charles III, when he returns to England next month for the WellChild awards before jetting off to Germany for the Invictus Games, with them adding this signifies that the Duke has "one foot out the door".

But despite split rumours and Meghan's missing engagement ring, there seems to be a very innocent explanation.
Earlier this month, in a snap shared by some of Meghan's pals to celebrate her birthday, the Duchess of Sussex could be seen without her £156k engagement ring while posing with her friends. 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 was "being fixed", hence the fact that it was missing from her ring finger.
The Mirror has reached out to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's representatives for comment.
