The Diamond Maple Leaf Brooch was originally gifted to Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother by her husband King George VI before their historic tour to Canada in 1939.

Although other royal ladies have visited Canada, Queen Elizabeth has only loaned the brooch to the two future Queen Consorts: Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall and Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge.

Prince Harry,  sixth in line to the throne, and his wife Meghan Markle parted their  ways with the British royal family before the Duchess of Sussex had opportunity to wear the brooch.

Harry and Meghan are currently living in the United States after stepping down from their roles as senior royals.

Here are the photos of the four royal ladies who have worn the sparkler:
