Kate Middleton, changes to the engagement ring (which was Lady D.)

Kate Middleton and William, George is getting bigger

What is the worst nightmare of a future bride? Losing theengagement ring! And that’s what he thought Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, when William proposed her marriage to the famous 18k white gold ring with 12 carat oval blue sapphire of the mother, Lady Diana. Around this ring, fascinating stories and mysteries were born: we know that his legacy was collected by Harry, but that the latter generously donated it to William when he chose to marry Kate, his historical girlfriend. It seems that Harry himself wanted to give this gift to his brother, surprising him.

Yet, the ring “it’s not the same anymore“: Of course, the change Kate put in place was minimal, and she did it precisely to” avert the worst nightmare “, according to what the Mirror reports from real sources. The jewel that Kate sports is not only one of the most famous in royal history, but also has a special value: she received it in 2010 from William. However, the change took place the following year, in 2011, when Kate, wearing it more often, realized that in fact the ring turned a little too much.

A source later revealed to The Sun that “Kate loved that ring, but it was wide for her. A bride’s worst nightmare is looking down and seeing that her ring has fallen off ”. In fact, Middleton made the best choice: the modification did not in any way alter the extreme elegance of the ring, which remains a jewel of immense value and great significance.

Based on information found by the Mirror, the ring was adapted and modified by royal jewelers G. Collins and Sons. Some experts believe that the platinum beads of the ring have been attached to the inside, just to allow Kate to show it off without running the risk of losing it. From her sapphire ring, the Duchess of Cambridge never separates: together with the Welsh gold wedding band – tradition of the Royal Family – is a very expensive jewel, due to the bond with Diana, the deceased mother-in-law, and for William’s sweet proposal. In the end, however, there remains a small change that definitely no one had noticed until today.
