Here's Meghan Markle's Wedding Ring
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will exchange vows and exit the church wearing their new wedding bands later today-but details about them, along with the fact Harry will have one, have been revealed ahead of the ceremony.
As announced by the Palace this morning, the couple chose "Cleave and Company to make their Wedding rings. Ms. Markle's ring has been fashioned from a piece of Welsh Gold, gifted by Her Majesty The Queen. Prince Harry's ring will be a Platinum Band with a textured finish. Both rings were crafted in the Cleave workshop. The rings will be carried to St George's Chapel on the day of the Wedding by The Duke of Cambridge, in his capacity as Best Man."
The fact Harry will have a band is remarkable as not all royal men do-though not entirely surprising. He was expected to wear his own, as a source told E! ahead of the wedding that Harry "does want to wear a wedding band," unlike Prince William who "prefers to go without [one]."
Before the wedding, outlets speculated that Markle's ring would be yellow-gold to match her engagement band. A source additionally told E! that the ring would be made of Clogau-Welsh like Princess Diana's and Kate Middleton's bands were.
Prince Harry, during the couple's first interview after announcing their engagement, explained he chose yellow-gold for Markle's engagement ring initially "because that's her favorite," and included two diamonds from his mother Princess Diana's personal collection "to make sure she's with us on this crazy journey together."
Harry designed the engagement ring himself, which in addition to Diana's diamonds has a center diamond from Botswana. Court Jewelers Cleave and Company made the ring.
