Meghan is likely to wear 'something borrowed' from Princess Diana on her wedding day in May, according to royal experts.
Royal commentator Grant Harrold has suggested princeHarry's fiancée, 36, could wear something from the Princess of Wales' jewellery collection when she walks down the aisle at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, in May.
The former actress's bespoke engagement ring, believed to worth up to £200,000, already contains two diamonds from Diana's collection, along with a stone from Botswana.
Meghan is likely to wear 'something borrowed' from Princess Diana on her wedding day in May, royal experts say It comes after speculation that Meghan could give a nod to Diana through her choice of tiara on the big day, with suggestions that the Spencer Tiara famously worn by Harry's late mother is a possible contender.
Harrold, also known as The Royal Butler, told FEMAIL: 'For Prince Harry, one of the most important and influential people of his life - his mother - will of course not be there to participate in his special day.
'I believe that they will do their best to keep her spirit alive and be part of the wedding day by Ms Markle wearing a piece of Princess Diana's personal jewellery which was left to her boys upon her death.
'This would be very poignant, and a very personal thing between the young couple, and it would symbolically allow his mother to be part of this magical day.'
Here FEMAIL looks at the potential contenders for Meghan's 'something borrowed' on her big day...
QATAR DIAMOND AND PEARL EARRINGS
Meghan could wear these diamond and pearl earrings, gifted to Diana by the Emir of Qatar
These dazzling earrings were a wedding gift to Diana from the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Khalifa bin Hamad Al Thani.
They were a favourite of Diana's, with the Princess of Wales pictured wearing them on numerous occasions.
The earrings feature a cluster of diamonds at the top, with a delicate pearl dangling down from each.
The jewels would be an elegant choice for Meghan to wear on her wedding day.
DIAMOND AND SOUTH SEA PEARL EARRINGS
Diana's diamond and South Sea pearl earrings were a favourite of hers, and could be an elegant choice for Meghan
If Meghan does choose to wear pearls on her wedding day, these earrings worn by Diana may be another contender.
They feature diamonds in a crescent shape at the top, with large South Sea pearl drops at the bottom.
South Sea pearls are very rare, and are much larger and smoother than normal pearls.
The pearls can be detached from the earrings, allowing the cluster of diamonds to be worn alone.
ART DECO BRACELET
Diana's bracelet featuring 12-carat diamonds and emerald stones could be gifted to Meghan
Meghan could choose to wear a bracelet from Diana's personal collection, including this piece featuring 12-carat diamonds and emerald stones.
The dazzling piece was a wedding gift from Prince Charles, and a rare piece in Diana's jewellery box that contained emeralds.
The piece was last worn by Diana on her 36th birthday and hasn't been seen in public for years, meaning Harry could choose to gift it to Meghan.
THE SAUDI SUITE
A piece from the sapphire set given to Diana by the Saudi Crown Prince could also be a potential option for Meghan
If Meghan goes for sapphires, this wedding gift from the Saudi Crown Prince is a potential option.
It consists of a necklace, earrings, bracelet and watch - meaning that the royal bride-to-be could again potentially choose one piece from the set to wear on her big day.
However, Meghan is unlikely to wear the earrings from the set, as Prince William gifted them to Kate shortly after their engagement.
THE SULTAN OF OMAN SAPPHIRE SUITE
Meghan could choose this striking sapphire suite gifted to Diana by the Sultan Of Oman if she goes for a modern choice
Meghan is expected to add a modern touch to proceedings in May, and this striking jewellery set gifted to Diana by the Sultan Of Oman would be a bold choice for the bride.
The entire set consists of a choker, crescent shaped earrings, and a diamond bracelet, but Meghan could choose to wear just one piece from the collection.
Diana was known for wearing sapphires, with the Duchess of Cambridge famously given her sapphire engagement ring.
Will Meghan wear Princess Diana's Spencer Tiara on her wedding day?
The Spencer Tiara, which was famously worn by Diana on her wedding day to in 1981, is likely to be a contender for Meghan's upcoming nuptials at Windsor Castle.
The tiara is a family heirloom that was also worn by all of Diana's sisters on their wedding days.
The headpiece, which was made by Garrads in the 1930s, has an elaborate design of stylised flowers decorated with diamonds in silver settings.
Meghan could wear The Spencer Tiara, famously worn by Diana on her wedding day, on her own big day in May
The tiara is now owned by Diana's brother, Earl Spencer, so Harry would have to borrow it from his uncle if his bride were to wear it on her big day.
Royal expert Grant Harrold believes the Spencer Tiara is a likely choice for Meghan.
He told FEMAIL: 'If she does decide to wear a tiara, I believe she may opt for the Spencer tiara which was famously worn by Lady Diana Spencer on her wedding to Prince Charles, and on many more occasions throughout her life.
'This could be a way for Prince Harry to involve his mother in his big day.'
