Meghan rings the changes with a new £2,100 diamond-studded Oura fitness tracker on her left hand - and a mystery gold band on the right...while leaving off her engagement ring for the 4th month running

The Duchess of Sussex has seemingly invested in a popular smart ring and a matching £2,100 gold case encrusted with diamonds.However, she left off her engagement ring for the fourth consecutive month when Meghan Markle, 44, attended a screening of Cookie Queens, a documentary about Girl Scouts in America, on Tuesday.Worn on her left hand, Meghan flaunted a glittering 'sleeve' for her Oura ring - a trendy fitness tracker that measures its wearer's vitals, sleep quality, and stress levels that Prince Harry also swears by - as well as a new unidentified gold band on her right hand.The Duchess is believed to have not worn her engagement ring in over four months; the last time she was pictured with the jewel was in February 2026 when she wore it to an NBA game in California.At the event, Meghan was seen flaunting a new, five-carat sparkler with a pear-cut diamond on her right hand, with a jewellery expert telling the Daily Mail it could 'symbolise self-love' at the time.Meghan's 2.5 carat engagement ring was also conspicuously missing when she attended a charity bash organised by her best friend Kelly Zajfen in March and when the Duchess joined Prince Harry for the Sussexes' quasi-royal tour of Australia the following month.Jewellery expert Trang Do previously told the Daily Mail that 'wearing a significant ring on the right hand often symbolises independence, self-love, and personal power', adding the big, pear-shaped diamond could 'point to an upgrade or evolution of her engagement ring story'.Trang said: 'Many clients today are choosing to refresh their rings to mark milestones, whether an anniversary, a personal achievement or a new chapter, rather than waiting for a traditional proposal moment.'The Duchess of Sussex has seemingly invested in a popular smart ring and a matching £2,100 gold case encrusted with diamonds The Oura ring and gold case on her left hand is a new addition as is the mystery band on her right hand, worn under a massive five-carat sparklerShe wore two other pieces from Logan Hollowell for the screening of Cookie Queens at the AMC Grove in Los Angeles on Tuesday, including the Leo constellation ring in a nod to her August 4 birthdate, as well as the Lovers Duet Diamond and Emerald necklace that retails for $21,150 (over £15,800)Harry proposed to Meghan eight years ago – enlisting the late Queen Elizabeth's regular jeweller, Cleave & Company, to design a unique jewel for his bride-to-be.The prince had even snuck a ring from Meghan's jewellery box so that the designers knew her size and, in a particularly touching tribute to his late mother, asked them to 'harvest' the diamonds from one of Diana's bracelets.Writing in his tell-all memoir Spare, the Duke, 41, recalled how he had 'cleared all this in advance' with William, adding: 'I'd asked my brother if I could have the bracelet, and told him what it was for.'I don't recall him hesitating, for one second, in giving it to me. He seemed to like Meg.'Harry also picked a blood-free diamond from Botswana, the African country where he and Meghan fell in love on their third date, for the engagement ring.Since the proposal in Nottingham Cottage, it is believed the ring has been altered four times. At Trooping the Colour in June 2019, Meghan was spotted wearing the ring with a thinner band than its original design.She also had little diamonds set down the sides of the ring, worth around £126,000 ($150,000) when Harry had it made, in what jewellery expert Arabel Lebrusan suggested was a more American style. Meghan's 2.5 carat engagement ring was also conspicuously missing when she attended a charity bash organised by her best friend Kelly Zajfen She did not wear the engagement ring when Meghan joined Prince Harry for the Sussexes' quasi-royal tour of Australia the following month Meghan pictured without the jewel at the inauguration ceremony for the World Health Organisation's The Lost Screen memorial in Geneva in May The Duchess has seemingly not worn her engagement ring in over four months; the last time she was pictured with the jewel was in February 2026 when she wore it to an NBA game in California At the time, she also debuted a new eternity ring that was adorned with conflict-free diamonds as well as three birthstones – one each for the couple and their then newborn son Archie.In his book Finding Freedom, royal expert Omid Scobie noted the decision to resize and reset the engagement ring with a new diamond band in 2019 was Harry's idea.In the biography, jeweller-to-the-stars Lorraine Schwartz reportedly said of the prince: 'He's the loveliest person ever. So romantic, so thoughtful.'The authors continued: '(So much so that Harry also thought to have Lorraine resize and reset Meghan's engagement ring with a new diamond band.)'In 2022, there was further speculation that Meghan altered the ring for a second time when she attended the Invictus Games in The Hague, and it appeared that she had added additional diamonds to the setting surrounding the central diamond.The ring was notably absent during several of Meghan's appearances in 2023, when a loose stone was reportedly being repaired – in what some believed was a third alteration.In 2025, eagle-eyed royal fans noted that the ring's central diamond looked more like an emerald cut than the original cushion cut when it was seen in a trailer for Meghan's Netflix series.While some suggested it had been the latest, fourth iteration of the ring, others speculated it may have been a replica of her original to avoid any possible damage to it while cooking.It comes after the Duchess shared Prince Harry's advice for weathering 'hard days' during a Q&A at the screening on Tuesday. When journalist Jessica Radloff asked Meghan how she handles setbacks in life, she said the Duke of Sussex taught her to 'zoom out' after '10 years as a helicopter pilot' in the British Army. Sharing his advice for overcoming challenges, Meghan said: 'My husband told me this ages ago, because we all go through experiences and life is full of surprises, but he was a helicopter pilot in the British Army for ten years.'Sometimes, on really hard days, I remember once he said, "But my love, you know, even if there's a storm happening, above the storm, the sun is always shining.'And that's a perspective that only comes when we think about zooming out a little bit,' she continued. 'So, it's so important to maintain that perspective that, no matter what feels insurmountable, there's just always that sun shining above it.'When asked whether the couple's children, Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five, had watched the movie, Meghan said they had not had a chance yet.However, 'they love all the cookies that we've had throughout this process,' she quipped.After the screening, Jessica, who moderated the Q&A, shared a selfie with Meghan on Instagram and praised Cookie Queens as 'my favourite documentary I've seen in years'.The film follows the lives of young Girl Scouts, Olive, Nikki, Shannon, Elizabeth, and Ara, as they navigate the cookie-selling season.It comes as Meghan introduced a new fruit spread after teasing the launch with a video of her picking blackberries on Instagram.The flavour was unveiled as 'our newest pantry favourite' on Tuesday with a photo of the jar on As Ever's social media page.'Made with beautifully ripe blackberries for a rich, vibrant flavour that brings a little taste of the season to your table,' the caption read.It is not available to purchase at the time of writing.
