Meghan donned the earrings during her visit to Colegio La Giralda school in Bogota's Santa Fe neighborhood, where she interacted with the students and participated in an art session.
The mother-of-two rocked Diana’s belongings with a white button-down blouse, a pair of black trousers, a beige coat, and matching flats.

She kept her hair and makeup simple. This wasn't the first time Meghan wore the butterfly earrings, as she reportedly first donned them in Australia in October 2018 after announcing her first pregnancy.
In September 2019, Meghan was once again seen wearing the butterfly earrings during the launch of her capsule collection of women’s workwear.
Prince Harry’s works are ‘inspired by his mum’
As per a source who spoke with Page Six in May, “Diana remains a prominent force in Harry’s life and as a result, Meghan’s. So much of his work is inspired by his mum, and it’s evident how much she still means to him.”
“A gift to his wife that once belonged to his mother is incredibly meaningful and that isn’t lost on his wife,” the source added.
