Meghan Markle's most recent public appearance has stirred up controversy once more. This time, it's not her fashion choices that have caught the eye, but the absence of the famous bling on her finger.

In honor of International Day of the Girl, the Duchess of Sussex visited Girls Inc. of Greater Santa Barbara and spent time doing crafts and drawing with young girls. According to the reports, the Duchess was spotted wearing a Ralph Lauren shirt and white pants, but her engagement ring was absent. The former Suits star was spotted sporting her wedding band despite this.

In 2017, Harry proposed to Meghan at Kensington Palace with a gorgeous engagement ring set on a plain gold band with two diamonds from his mother's collection, Princess Diana's, and one from Botswana. Others view Meghan's decision to forgo the ring as a fashion statement, while others conjecture that it suggests a possible rift between the couple.

This isn't the first occasion the Duchess has been spotted without her engagement ring. She was spotted without it in 2023 at the Invictus Games in Düsseldorf. According to a source, the ring was "being fixed," which explains why it was not on her finger. But earlier this year, it was back in her hand.

Prince Harry is on a different path

The change in fashion comes after Meghan and Harry made several solo appearances. Harry has been touring the world, stopping in New York, London, and Southern Africa. Meghan, on the other hand, wore her ring to a glitzy charity gala for Children's Hospital LA. These days, the Duchess is also giving her lifestyle brand more attention.

According to former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond, Prince Harry has not alienated the British public and still possesses a certain charm that could help him regain support as there are rumors that he is willing to continue his royal duties. "I don’t believe that Harry has ruined all of his relations with the British people. Harry has a certain quality that makes him enticing and captivating.

While Meghan focuses on business endeavors, she emphasizes that Harry most likely has no plans to return to royal life and instead intends to create a new career path of service. I do not believe Harry wishes to go back to his former life in any way. He is forging a different way of serving, as he puts it. and that's the path he will continue while Meghan pursues more commercial activities."

Divorce rumors of Meghan and Harry

Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan Markle face divorce rumors as they attend events separately, with Harry's recent solo trip to Lesotho fueling speculation. Sources claim they are leading separate lives, but close friends and family say they are still content together.

The source added, "Meghan wants to live a life in LA that is so different from that and would seem strange to any English man with blue blood since it is all about yoga and juicing." "His intention to continue his activities and tours away from Meghan is the first indication that they are on a "trial separation" while they sort this out. He enjoys going to the pub and playing sports with his friends.
