Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has been making headlines once again, but this time it’s not for her philanthropic efforts or fashion choices.
Rumors have been circulating about Meghan’s alleged obsession with emeralds and her ambitious attempts to incorporate them into her jewelry collection.
But is there any truth to these claims?
It all started in August 2017 when Meghan’s PR team announced her engagement to Prince Harry and hinted at her intention to make emerald her signature color, much like Princess Diana’s association with sapphires.
However, since then, Meghan has been noticeably absent from the emerald scene.
This raises the question: What happened to her grand plans for an emerald-filled wardrobe?
According to industry gossip, Meghan had her eyes set on a particular emerald from the Delhi Durbar necklace.
She allegedly wanted it recut into an emerald-cut stone, flanked by two emerald-cut diamonds, and set on a rose gold band adorned with paved diamonds.
It seems she had her heart set on a large, weighty emerald as the centerpiece of her dream ring.
But, alas, her request was denied.
Undeterred, Meghan and Harry reportedly reached out to various jewelry firms, inquiring about stone recutting and custom-made rings.
The duchess was fixated on emeralds and seemed determined to have her way.
Some even speculate that her choice of a May wedding and the birth of Archie in May were strategic moves to align with the emerald birthstone.
While there are claims that Meghan also expressed interest in modifying the Lover’s Knot tiara with the Vladimir emeralds, she allegedly explored other options as well.
Queen Victoria’s Emerald Tiara Coronet and Eugene’s tiara were among the pieces she inquired about.
However, tampering with historic crown jewels for personal use is generally frowned upon.
One may wonder why Meghan couldn’t simply have a custom emerald ring made for her by the prestigious GEDS jewelers, just like the sapphire ring she now proudly wears.
It seems she believed herself to be exempt from royal rules and protocols, seeking something associated with Princess Diana to boost her popularity.
But, ironically, her actions betray a deep-seated envy and jealousy that has plagued her throughout her life.
Meghan’s penchant for green clothing and jewelry is seen by some as a manifestation of her envy.
She seems to be conveying to the world that she is consumed by this emotion, evident in her fashion choices.
It’s as if she is literally “green with envy” and wants everyone to know it.
The question that arises is how Meghan, who claims to have known so little about the royal family before marrying Harry, could be so knowledgeable about tiaras and their various uses.
Could it be that she discovered the possibilities and demanded everything be dismantled and reconstructed to her liking?
Thankfully, she didn’t go as far as requesting multiple tiaras to be combined into a mega tiara.
While these rumors may seem entertaining, it’s important to take them with a grain of salt.
It’s easy to get caught up in speculation and gossip, but we must remember that behind every headline lies a human being.
Meghan Markle, like any other individual, deserves the benefit of the doubt and the opportunity to prove herself as a member of the royal family.
