Meghan Markle's wedding ring was made from Welsh gold and gifted by Queen Elizabeth II, Kensington Palace revealed.
The tradition of using Welsh gold for royal wedding rings started nearly a century ago.
In 1923, the queen's mother, then Elizabeth Bowes Lyon, used gold from Wales to form a wedding band when she married the future King George VI.
Queen Elizabeth followed in her mom's footsteps when she married Prince Philip in 1947, and the tradition has continued since.
