Kate Middleton Honors Royal Legacy with Diana's Sapphire Ring at Festival of Remembranc
Last month, during a poignant visit to Southport, Kate Middleton made a thoughtful gesture by wearing the iconic sapphire engagement ring that once belonged to Princess Diana. The Princess of Wales, 42, wore the ring again at the Festival of Remembrance, marking the first time in several months she had chosen to wear this cherished piece of jewelry. This sparked speculation about its deeper meaning, as many saw it as a tribute to both Diana and the Royal Family.
Jewelry expert Tobias Kormind, Managing Director of 77 Diamonds, shared insights with GB News, explaining that Kate’s choice to wear the ring is rich with symbolism. "Kate’s jewelry collection includes Diana's engagement ring, a piece Diana famously wore even after her divorce," Kormind noted. "Its significance goes beyond Diana's time, especially considering that Harry inherited the ring before passing it to William, who then gave it to Kate when proposing in 2010. The ring speaks to a strong sense of continuity within the family, and may be a quiet acknowledgment of Kate’s appreciation for the Royal Family as a whole."
In addition to the ring, the Princess of Wales attended the Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph, dressed in a sophisticated Catherine Walker coat dress. She accessorized with Queen Elizabeth II's Bahrain Pearl Drop Earrings, a new hat from Juliette Millinery, and a suede clutch from Mulberry, which she has carried since 2013, just after the birth of Prince George. This ensemble not only honored the occasion but also subtly linked Kate's style choices to the legacy of the Royal Family.
