Markle described how touched she was by Harry's design choices -- especially the ring's link to his mother.

\"I think everything about Harry's thoughtfulness and the inclusion of [Diana's stones] and, obviously, not being able to meet his mom -- it's so important to me to know that she's a part of this with us,\" she said. \"It's incredibly special to be able to have this, which sort of links where [Harry comes] from and Botswana, which is important to us. It's perfect.\"
