Meghan Markle made a subtle yet meaningful fashion statement at Prince Harry’s Invictus Games in Canada by wearing a gold signet ring engraved with a royal cypher, symbolizing her marriage to Harry and her ties to the British royal family.
The ring, spotted on her right pinky finger, features the combined “H” and “M” cypher topped with a coronet—a design the couple used during their time as working royals. The cypher, which includes intricate details like cross pattées, fleurs-de-lys, and strawberry leaves, was previously seen on their Sussex Royal website and social media accounts. Although the couple stepped back from royal duties in 2020, the reappearance of the cypher on Meghan’s ring suggests a nod to their shared history and connection to the monarchy.
The signet ring, believed to be from British jeweler Bentley & Skinner—a brand holding a Royal Warrant of Appointment—was first noticed last fall but was seen more clearly during Meghan’s appearances in Vancouver and Whistler. The Invictus Games, which introduced winter sports for the first time this year, saw Meghan and Harry supporting participants and attending events together.
Signet rings hold a special place in royal tradition. King Charles, Meghan’s father-in-law, is famously known for wearing one, as did Princess Diana, who received a similar ring from Charles the night before their 1981 wedding. Diana described the gift as a touching gesture, accompanied by a heartfelt note. Other royals, including Prince Edward and his wife Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, have also been seen wearing signet rings, making Meghan’s choice a subtle yet significant tribute to royal customs.
Meghan has often used her jewelry to convey personal messages. In 2016, early in her relationship with Harry, she wore a necklace with their initials, “H” and “M,” to publicly acknowledge their romance. At the Invictus Games, she also wore a pair of diamond earrings from Maya Brenner, a brand she has favored in the past. The earrings were reportedly a Valentine’s Day gift from Harry last year.
In addition to the signet ring, Meghan accessorized with her diamond engagement ring, gold wedding band, and eternity ring, completing a look that blended personal sentiment with royal tradition.
Meghan’s choice of jewelry not only reflects her personal style but also serves as a reminder of her enduring connection to the royal family, even as she and Harry forge their own path outside the monarchy.
