Meghan Markle's second look for the royal wedding included a nod to Prince Harry's mother, Princess Diana.

Markle set off for the evening reception at Frogmore House wearing a white Stella McCartney gown that she paired with a gorgeous ring on her right hand.

It wasn't just any ring. The aquamarine ring belonged to Princess Diana. 

A Kensington Palace spokesperson confirmed to Buzzfeed the rings are the same.

Here she is wearing the ring in June 1997.

Many loved this simple gesture to honor Prince Harry's mother.

Markle and Prince Harry also honored his late mother during the wedding ceremony at St. George's Chapel. Markle carried a bouquet that contained Forget-Me-Nots, Princess Diana's favorite flower.

Even though the Princess of Wales is not there in person, she's definitely there in spirit.
