London: There was something old and something new in the ring Meghan Markle, the American actress, wore when she and Prince Harry announced their engagement. The ring, which the prince himself designed, bore three glittering diamonds: a central stone from Botswana and two others from the collection of the Harry's mother, Princess Diana, who died in 1997, the couple said in a joint interview shared on social media on Monday.
