Diana, who died in a car crash in Paris in 1997 at 36 years old, wore the butterfly earrings during a trip to Canada with her then-husband Charles in May 1986 when Prince Harry was a toddler.
The actress’ choice to wear the earrings to visit a school was very fitting, as Diana worked as a kindergarten teacher in London before becoming royalty.
Markle sported the earrings with a simple look consisting of a white button-down blouse tucked into skinny black trousers and a beige coat and matching flats.
She pulled her hair back into a bun, letting the earrings sparkle for all to see.
