Man, this whole thing started when I was cleaning my closet last Thursday afternoon. Found an old magazine buried under some sweaters – one of those glossy ones with Princess Diana on the cover, sparkling away. Those jewels she wore… wow. Made me wonder, seriously, what happened to those diamonds after she was gone? Like, who actually owns that bling now? Figured, hey, why not dive into this?
Getting Started Was Messy
Okay, first step? I just typed “Princess Diana jewelry now” into my search bar. Big mistake. Got flooded with a zillion articles about tiaras and sapphires – tons about that engagement ring going to Kate – but specifics about diamonds? Not so much. Kept scrolling, feeling kinda frustrated. Pages and pages of gossip sites, nothing solid.
Hitting a Wall (Almost)
Almost gave up right there. Grabbed a coffee instead. Then it hit me – maybe look at what the royals actually wore recently. You know, see the diamonds in action. Started searching stuff like “royal ladies diamond jewelry 2024”. That actually flipped a switch.
- Queen Camilla: Boom! Noticed her wearing these huge diamond earrings and a big brooch sometimes at fancy dinners. Turns out? Yeah, those were Diana’s. Saw it on different news sites, pictures side-by-side – same pieces. Guess Camilla got some of them.
- Princess Kate: Obviously saw her rockin’ the sapphire ring. But diamonds? Digging deeper, found older pics where she wore this beautiful diamond and emerald choker thing. Turns out Diana wore it too! Seems Kate borrows it occasionally for big events.
- The Brothers: Totally forgot about William and Harry! Found out Diana left them jewelry outright – like, not just to wear, but actually own. Articles mention her leaving personal pieces to them. William reportedly split his share between Kate and the royal collection vault. Harry? Seems Meghan wore some diamond pieces at events folks thought might be from Diana.
Putting The Pieces Together
So, after clicking around like mad, comparing photos, and reading way too many articles (some sensible, some pure nonsense), here’s the messy picture I got:
- A whole bunch went straight into the royal collection. Big vault somewhere, I guess. They basically belong to the monarchy.
- Queen Camilla definitely wears some of the bigger pieces now and then.
- Kate borrows stunning bits from the collection or William’s inheritance for showstopper events.
- William and Harry actually own some items personally – William’s seem mostly locked away or worn by Kate, Harry’s maybe went to Meghan.
Headache? Yeah, kinda. Surprising? Also yeah. Thought it might be clearer cut. But hey, royals doing their royal thing, spreading the sparkle around. Well, there you go!
