Prince Ricardo De La Cerda
EVERYONE’s saying the same thing after noticing Meghan Markle is NOT wearing her engagement ring.
Meghan donned a £1,481 gold Johanna Ortiz sheath dress for a glitzy New York gala which she attended with husband Prince Harry and mum Doria Ragland.

She accessorised the look with several diamond bracelets and a Cartier piece valued at around £5,890.
But eagle-eyed fans noticed that she was missing her diamond engagement ring.
One royal lover said: “She doesn’t appear to be wearing her engagement ring, only her wedding and eternity band. Why is that?”
And fans joined in the speculation, with one saying: “The setting might be getting repaired. Happened to mine and I didn’t have a fancy diamond to keep stuck on.”
Another said: “It probably gets in the way when she’s changing nappies and doing the dishes.”
And others said they did not find it unusual, with one saying: “‘I’ve been married 32 years. I stopped wearing my engagement ring years ago.”
Another said: “I can’t fit my engagement ring on my fingers any more.”
Designed by Prince Harry himself, the stunning sparkler even features two of the late Princess Diana’s diamonds – but was nowhere to be seen last night.
When the couple got engaged in 2017, Harry said: “The ring is obviously yellow gold because that’s her favourite.
“The main stone itself I sourced from Botswana and the little diamonds either side are from my mother’s jewellery collection, to make sure she’s with us on this crazy journey together.”
Meghan later blinged up the engagement ring, replacing the thick gold band Harry chose with a much thinner micro-pave gold one.
The Duchess of Sussex was presented with the 2023 Women of Vision Award by pal Gloria Steinem at the Ms Foundation event last night.
It is her first public event since she missed out on King Charles III’s coronation on May 6 – with Harry going to the celebration alone.
Guests said the duchess “became emotional” during the presentation at New York City’s Ziegfeld Ballroom.
She gave an “authentic” speech about issues that mattered to her as she accepted the award from feminist icon Steinem, who was on stage.
Guest Paul Didonato said: “Meghan was very gracious and beyond articulate. She was quite wonderful.
“She did become emotional. Seeing her on stage with Gloria Steinem felt like it was a cross generational moment.”
In a clip from the event shared by Town and Country writer Emily Burack, Meghan could be heard telling her audience: “You can be the visionary of your own life.”
She went on: “You can charter a path in which what you repeat in your daily acts of service, in kindness, in advocacy, in grace and in fairness become the very things that are recognized by the next wave of women, both young and old.
“They will also choose this moment to join the movement, and make our vision for an equitable world, reality.”
Another guest said that Meghan’s mum Doria “looked unbelievably proud”.
Last night, Meghan arrived with Prince Harry and her mother Doria through the entrance to a Hertz car rental shop.
Doria opted for a black dress, bag and shoes with her hair worn in an elegant up-do.
The trio were then seen beaming as they posed for pictures on the event’s black carpet.
