The interview is scheduled to air on Sunday, March 7 at 8 P.M. Eastern on CBS. Seated alongside her husband, Duke of Sussex Prince Harry, Markle in her first-ever primetime interview with her husband told Winfrey that the jewellery carried a special symbolism and was of a sentimental value to her as it belonged to Prince Harry's mother, Princess Diana.

The aquamarine diamonds from Diana’s bracelet donned Meghan’s ring during her wedding day in 2018. The 39-year-old’s wedding ring also featured another large stone from the country of Botswana, 'a country extremely dear' to Harry.
