Michael Eisner said the chandelier earrings were “bought with blood money” from Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
He said he was “stunned” that the Duchess did not know that the Saudi king was linked to Khashoggi’s high profile murder when she wore the earrings to a state dinner in 2018.
However, her lawyers have insisted that Meghan was unaware of widespread speculation at the time that the Saudi royal family was likely behind the murder of the Washington Post journalist.
Mr Eisner spoke out when it was reported that Meghan still has the sparklers – which were given to her as a wedding present.
Today’s Sunday mail reported that the incredible Chopard earrings remain Meghan’s responsibility.
Gifts from foreign heads of state are officially the property of the crown under the Royal Protocol.
However, wedding favors for older royals are not “borrowed”; the recipient can keep them until they die.

“These earrings were bought with blood money and given to her by a murderer,” said Eisner, chief operating officer of Democracy for the Arab World Now (Dawn). “It has nothing to do with wearing it.”
The earrings were accepted as a wedding gift when the Crown Prince had lunch with the Queen during a three-day visit to London in March 2018.
The 39-year-old Duchess wore them to a state dinner on a tour of Fiji three weeks after the murder of the outspoken Khashoggi.
At that time, the Crown Prince was sentenced worldwide for orchestrating the murder.
However, Meghan’s lawyers say they were unaware of the widespread speculation.
Three days after dinner in Fiji, on October 20, Saudi Arabia admitted that its embassy officials in Istanbul were responsible for Khashoggi’s death, which sparked global conviction.

The following month, Meghan wore the earrings AGAIN to Prince Charles’ 70th birthday party at Buckingham Palace.
Earlier this month, the CIA announced in a report released by President Joe Biden that the Saudi Crown Prince had approved the “capture or killing” of Khashoggi.
It is believed that the earrings have now been safely stored. But a spokesman for Meghan refused to comment on her whereabouts last week.
