Most people usually take out their piercings when it comes to more formal situations. Ragland decided to leave hers in and she still managed to remain classy.

In the past, Meghan had hinted that her mother was a free spirit. Her decision to keep the ring on during the Royal wedding was a simple reminder that we should always be ourselves, no matter what.
