Empty Seat at Royal Wedding Explained! No, It Wasn’t for Princess Diana
View StoryWhile that homage turned out to be fake news — the seat was kept empty so Queen Elizabeth, in the second pew, would have an unobstructed view of the "I dos" — Meghan Markle did pay tribute to Diana in a most brilliant way.
The new aquamarine ring #MeghanMarkle wore tonight isn't actually new at all - it belonged to Princess Diana. We assume it was a gift from Prince Harry. Great spot, @saadsalman719 pic.twitter.com/Hr1mrbwN3g

Eagle-eyed royal watchers noticed that Meghan was wearing a familiar aquamarine ring when she waved to well-wishers while en route to her private evening reception. The beautiful ring did, in fact, belong to the original "People's Princess," meaning Harry probably gifted it to his bride in remembrance of his beloved mom.
People magazine reports Diana wore the emerald-cut aquamarine ring to a 1997 Christie's auction of her clothes, and that the ring is actually part of a set that includes a matching bracelet of aquamarine and pearls.
