Kate Middleton's Engagement Ring: 11 Facts Behind The Ring
From how Princess Diana's engagement ring ended up as Kate Middleton's ring, to how the engagement ring has been altered, here is everything you need to know about the mother-of-three's engagement ring ahead of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's 10th wedding anniversary.
This month marks the 10th Anniversary of Kate Middleton and Prince William's glorious wedding. That's right, 10 years ago - on April 29, 2011 to be exact - the pair, who had been dating since university, tied the knot at Westminster Abbey.
A title change (they now go by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge), three children and a decade later, Kate Middleton remains one of the most memorable brides in history, with each part of her nuptial ensemble, from her Alexander McQueen gown and shoes, to her Cartier Halo Scroll Tiara and typically bouncy blow-dry, beheld as the pinnacle of bridal beauty.
However, while her bridal outfit was truly gorgeous and well worth the heightened anticipation, it's the accessory she received months prior and still wears to this day that will forever hold a special place in our hearts: Kate Middleton's engagement ring.
The sapphire ring, given to the now-39-year-old in October 2010, holds deep meanings for the wedded pair, with connections to Prince Harry, Queen Elizabeth II, Queen Victoria, Prince Albert and, of course, Diana Princess of Wales, who previously owned the ring.
Some may already know Kate Middleton's engagement ring was once Princess Diana's engagement ring, but not many will be aware of the rest of this ring's storied past, from what it's worth and how it has been altered, to how it breaks from tradition and was almost Meghan Markle's engagement ring.
