Meghan Markle has not been photographed with Queen Elizabeth’s jewelry as much as Kate Middleton. This has led royal fans to think that Prince Harry’s wife has been banned from wearing beautiful pieces.

But a source recently told Vanity Fair that this isn’t the case. After all, there were times wherein Markle was photographed wearing jewelry from the Royal Collection and it’s unlikely that she will be banned from using the piece all of a sudden.

“The Duchess has worn pieces from the Royal Collection before so why would that stop now?” the source said. The insider also said that Markle has been photographed wearing Queen Mary’s diamond bandeau, which is also a part of the Royal Collection.

Markle has also worn some of Princess Diana’s jewelry that is also part of the Queen’s Royal Collection. In recent months, the new mom was photographed wearing a diamond bracelet and butterfly earrings.

Of course, it isn’t surprising that Middleton has been photographed wearing more pieces from the Royal Collection because she has been a member of the royal family for eight years.

During his appearance on ITV’s “Lorraine,” The Sun journalist Dan Wootton said that there is no truth to the claims that the Markle is not allowed to use the jewelry from the Royal Collection. But Wootton said that it is true that whoever wants to use the jewelry needs to get Her Majesty’s permission first.

The Queen is in charge of the royal collection, a massive collection of all of the artifacts that the country and the Royal Family own. Included in that are some iconic prices of jewelry, many of which have been lent to Princess Diana… We’ve seen Kate wear certain items from the royal collection… The Queen has to give permission for any member of the Royal Family to wear any of these items of jewelry,” he said.
