This past weekend, Meghan Markle turned heads once again, making a glamorous appearance alongside Prince Harry at Kevin Costner’s One805LIVE! concert in Santa Barbara. The Duchess of Sussex, 44, opted for a sophisticated navy dress and an impressive array of jewellery valued at over £237,000.
The oceanside event at the Yellowstone actor’s estate brought together celebrities, music legends, and local first responders for a charity fundraiser.
Jewellery Worth a Fortune
Meghan’s look was elevated by a collection of iconic pieces.
On her wrist, she wore Princess Diana’s Cartier Tank Française watch, valued at £17,800, paired with an 18-carat gold Cartier Love bracelet worth £7,050.
She also added a £2,370 Jennifer Meyer mini bezel tennis bracelet.
On her fingers, the Duchess stacked several meaningful rings.
Her bespoke engagement ring from Prince Harry, featuring a cushion-cut diamond from Botswana and two smaller diamonds from Princess Diana’s collection, was valued at £120,000.
She paired this with her £10,000 Welsh gold wedding band, gifted by the late Queen, and an £80,000 eternity ring marking their first wedding anniversary with birthstones for Meghan, Archie, and Harry.
Altogether, the jewellery — not including additional gold bands — totaled a staggering £237,220.
Completing the ensemble, Meghan wore a sleeveless navy dress and stylish pumps, with her brunette hair flowing in soft waves.
Prince Harry’s Casual Yet Stylish Look
Prince Harry kept his style understated yet polished, pairing a black button-up shirt with trousers and a blazer.
The couple spent time mingling with guests, including first responders and law enforcement, before taking to the stage to address the crowd.
The concert is an annual fundraiser supporting Santa Barbara County’s fire, police, and sheriff departments, as well as mental wellness programs.
Musical acts included Trisha Yearwood, Good Charlotte, and The Fray, with Oprah Winfrey also in attendance.
Family Dynamics and Recent Reconciliation
The couple’s appearance comes shortly after a highly publicized reconciliation between Prince Harry and his father, King Charles.
Earlier this month, Harry spent 54 minutes with the King at Clarence House — their first in-person meeting in 18 months.
The reunion signals potential thawing of family tensions, which were heavily publicized following Harry and Meghan’s 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey and the release of Harry’s memoir, Spare.
In the book, Harry made several revelations about his relationship with the Royal Family, including disputes with his brother Prince William and the King.
Despite the controversy, sources suggest Harry now hopes to rebuild family ties, particularly for the sake of his children, Archie and Lilibet.
A Meaningful Visit and Charitable Focus
During his four-day trip to the UK, Harry also visited causes close to his heart, including a charity in memory of Princess Diana.
His spokesperson highlighted the positive nature of the visit, noting he enjoyed reconnecting with friends, colleagues, and supporting his charitable initiatives.
Harry’s return to the UK included an event linked to the Diana Award and marked a hopeful step toward a “functioning wider family” with the Royal Family, even if permanent relocation remains unlikely.
Sources indicate the King is keen to rebuild relationships, with Harry expressing a desire to move past conflicts and focus on family and important causes.
