Prince Harry was "shocked" when he was informed his aides knew the controversial backstory to a pair of earrings Meghan Markle was heavily criticised for wearing, a new book has claimed.
Shortly after joining the royal family, the new Duchess of Sussex wore a glitzy pair of diamond earrings to a state dinner during a tour of Fiji in 2018, hosted by the country's President Jioji Konrote.
At the time, the media were told the earrings had been "borrowed", but it has since been reported that the earrings were sent to the duchess by Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince as a wedding gift - though there is no suggestion that he gave the earrings to the Duchess personally, and she is not known to have ever met him.
