Apparently there’s no jewelry repeating allowed for Meghan Markle!!
A royal insider has shared that the Duchess of Sussex has been BANNED by the Queen from wearing pieces previously worn by her late mother-in-law Princess Diana… but Kate Middleton is welcome to the jewels!

The source revealed to The Sun details of the decision, just weeks ahead of the mother-to-be’s due date:
“This is a surprising situation that has been going on behind the scenes over the past few months and has caused tension and upset, especially for Harry. It is at the discretion of the Queen and trusted advisers which items in the Royal Collection she chooses to loan out and to whom.”
We can totally imagine that this is another major blow to Prince Harry!
Apparently, her majesty and other high-ranking royals are holding a grudge against the former Suits actress:
“Aspects of Meghan’s behaviour, including before the Royal Wedding, caused resentment with forces within Buckingham Palace. To be perfectly honest, the Queen herself was not impressed with some of Meghan’s demands, especially as a new member of the family. As a result, Buckingham Palace has decided that not all items from the Queen’s royal collection will be opened up to Meghan.”
Ouch!! As cold as ice… literally!
Meanwhile, where’s the slap on the wrist, or better yet lack of jewels on the wrist for the rest of the Markle family? In case you’ve been living under a rock, Samantha and Thomas Markle have been attempting to claw their way into the public eye by viciously smearing their estranged half-sister and daughter in the media.

The confidant further divulged information about the royal hierarchy and ranking system that’s forcing Miz Markle out of the Royal Collection:
“As part of that situation, the Queen informed Prince William that the items from the Royal Collection worn by Princess Diana would not immediately be made available to Meghan. The Queen likes Meghan personally but this is about the hierarchy. She is showing that maintaining the correct order and precedence within the family is important. Even if Meghan is the most popular woman in the world, she is of a lower rank than Kate.”
ICYMI, the Duchess of Cambridge’s 12-carat blue sapphire engagement ring is the same iconic rock that Prince Charles proposed to Lady Di with in 1981.
Much like the late Princess of Wales, the 37-year-old El Lay native is also a bit of a trailblazer in her own right, and we’re excited to see how she continues to shift old paradigms in the monarchy upon the anticipated arrival of her son or daughter. It’s no royal secret that the Queen wasn’t a fan of Diana’s rebellious streak in the 90s, so maybe she’s tightening the reins, or in this case reign, because of feeling snubbed all over again!
Maybe things will change after she gives birth this month? Does a new heir boost her popularity at Buckingham Palace? Your guess is as good as ours, Perezcious readers! Sound off (below) in the comments with your thoughts!!
