Meghan Markle was seen without her engagement ring for the second time in less than a year.
The sighting comes amid a new round of Meghan and Prince Harry divorce rumors.
Is Meghan using the absence of symbolic embellishments to send a message about the state of her marriage? Or is there once again a perfectly reasonable explanation for his unadorned left hand?
These are the questions that have generated intense debate in Meg-centric corners of the Internet this week.
This isn’t the first time Meghan Markle has ditched her engagement ring
As you may remember, Meghan went ringless for the first time in October last year.
But representatives for the Duchess of Sussex explained that the ring was simply being repaired.
Many pointed out that Meghan went without her ring for several weeks. And obviously it seems like a very long repair timeline.
But the fact is that the stone finally returned to Meghan’s finger. And there are many who believe that this time will not be the case.
As we previously reported, Meghan paid a visit for Girls Inc. of Greater Santa Barbara this week.
And according to a new report from GB Newssocial media users are obsessed with the fact that the duchess is ringless.
“I find this strange because normally Meghan always wears her engagement ring unless she is in a hospital for patient safety reasons,” wrote one YouTube commenter.
Some have suggested that this was just an aesthetic decision.
“I don’t think she ever liked her engagement ring. It’s not big and flashy enough for her,” another user commented.
“Meghan Markle always looked embarrassed about her engagement ring – Harry’s design,” added a third.
But others thought the bare toe was the latest sign of trouble in Harry and Meghan’s marriage.
A gradual separation?
According to a new report from Online RadarHarry and Meghan are in the process of gradually separating.
“Harry and Meghan will live separate lives – and will have a plan to do so,” a source told the outlet.
“They have been growing apart for some time, with Harry’s desire to return to the UK, where his old drinking companions are, and his hope to return to the very comfortable fold of the Royal Family, putting a real strain on their marriage.
“He hated his attempts at stardom with Netflix and Spotify being taken down and ending up ridiculed, and he’s starting to miss England.”
As always, some weirdo misogynists are blaming the situation Meghan interfering with Harry’s fun.
“He loved going to the bar and playing sports with his friends. And the life Meghan wants to lead in Los Angeles couldn’t be further from that and would seem strange to any blue-blooded Englishman. It’s all about juices and yoga,” the source continues.
“Their plans to hold their own activities and outings outside of Meghan are the first sign that they are effectively in a ‘trial separation’ while they sort this out.”
We wonder what these people will say when Meghan starts wearing her ring again next week.
