The Duchess of Sussex made sure all eyes were on her this weekend — dazzling in a staggering £237,000 worth of jewels at Kevin Costner’s starry One805LIVE! charity gala in Santa Barbara.
But while Meghan’s navy dress exuded sophistication, it was her right hand that had tongues wagging. Fans spotted a never-before-seen pear-shaped moonstone ring, and whispers quickly spread: Had Prince Harry slipped his wife a glittering new birthday present for her 44th?
The Mystery Rock 💍
The Duchess of Sussex donned more than £237,000 worth of jewellery as she attended a charity event with her husband this weekend – and among them was a hefty rock never seemingly donned by her before
Fans are convinced Meghan Markle, 44, was sporting a birthday present from Prince Harry, opting to show it off on her right hand, during a surprise joint appearance at Kevin Costner ‘s starry gathering in Santa Barbara on Saturday
The gem in question is believed to be the £3,185 “Queen” Water Drop Moonstone Ring by luxury jeweller Logan Hollowell. Meghan appeared to be wearing the largest “Classic Queen” size, surrounded by a pavé halo of diamonds.
According to the brand, the mystical stone is said to bring good fortune, success in love, and prosperity in business — a fitting choice for a woman redefining royal life on her own terms. Even more intriguingly, the moonstone is described as the stone of Diana, goddess of the moon — a possible nod to Prince Harry’s late mother, Princess Diana.
Fans were quick to link the dots, calling it a deeply symbolic birthday gift from Harry, who has always found subtle ways to honour his mother’s memory.
A Fortune in Diamonds ✨
t’s not the first time Meghan has spotted wearing pieces from the brand – in the second series of her show With Love, Meghan, the ex-royal could be seen wearing a matching necklace

And in December, the Duchess appeared to be sporting an opulent £42,506 diamond tennis necklace from the jeweller, as she attended the Paley Honors Gala, to support her and Harry’s close friend Tyler Perry
The moonstone ring was only one sparkling highlight of Meghan’s glittering ensemble. On her left hand, eagle-eyed watchers noticed a stack of priceless history:
Princess Diana’s Cartier Tank Française watch (£17,800)
Cartier Love bracelet (£7,050) — its screw motif representing eternal love
Jennifer Meyer tennis bracelet (£2,370)
Her bespoke £120,000 engagement ring, reset by Lorraine Schwartz, featuring a Botswana diamond and two stones from Diana’s collection
£10,000 wedding band crafted from rare Welsh gold
£80,000 eternity ring marking her and Harry’s first anniversary, set with the birthstones of Harry, Meghan, and Archie
All together? A staggering £237,220 ($320,000) glittering on one woman — Meghan, the ex-royal who continues to command attention every time she steps into the spotlight.

Meghan Markle, 44, dazzled as she and Prince Harry made a surprise joint appearance at Kevin Costner ‘s starry gathering in Santa Barbara on Saturday, opting for some of her favourite accessorries for the One805LIVE! concert which took place at the Yellowstone actor’s oceanside estate
Style Meets Symbolism 👠
Meghan paired her jaw-dropping jewellery with a sleek, sleeveless navy dress and chic pumps, her brunette locks cascading in effortless waves. Meanwhile, Harry opted for understated elegance in black — but few noticed him as the Duchess stole the show.
The couple mingled with first responders and A-listers at Costner’s oceanside estate before taking the stage. Performances came from Trisha Yearwood, Good Charlotte, and The Fray, while Oprah Winfrey also made an appearance — a reminder of her ongoing closeness to the Sussexes.
A Family in Transition 🏰
The glamorous outing comes just weeks after Prince Harry’s much-publicized reunion with King Charles in London — their first meeting in 18 months. The Duke admitted his “conscience is clear,” even as his controversial memoir Spare continues to cast a long shadow over relations with William.
Royal insiders suggest Harry and Meghan may be inching toward reintegration into the wider royal family, with Charles eager to reconnect with his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet. But William, reportedly, remains distant.
For now, Meghan seems determined to send her own message: that she is thriving, radiant, and still very much a force to be reckoned with. And with a sparkling new moonstone on her hand — whether birthday gift, personal purchase, or symbolic tribute — one thing is clear: when Meghan Markle makes an entrance, the world notices.
