Prince Harry’s Sacrifice: The Story Behind Princess Diana’s Engagement Ring and William’s Decision

Relations in the British royal family have been strained for years, especially between the sons of King Charles III. Prince Harry hoped to one day dedicate the late Princess Diana’s engagement ring to his future wife, according to a former butler. But he had to give up the dream, William finally gave it to Kate.

After the tragic death of Princess Diana, it was important to her sons to have at least some memory of their mother. Charles III she is said to have allowed the young princes to choose an item from her jewelry collection that they would like to keep. According to Princess Diana’s former valet Paul Burrell, Prince Harry asked for his mother’s engagement ring.

William according to the portal Mirror it mainly depended on Diana’s watch. “I would like my mother’s Cartier watch, the one Grandpa Spencer gave her for her 21st birthday,” Prince William said, according to Burrell. For Harry, Diana’s ring had sentimental value, because as a child he remembered the moments when he and his mother held hands and the massive piece of jewelry pushed him a little.

But when William decided to get engaged to Kate, Harry reportedly backed down and gave up the ring he had guarded for years and saved for his chosen one. According to the butler, he wanted to make a friendly gesture and even gave his brother the jewelry himself. “Harry gave up his treasure, the only thing he kept after his mother, and gave it to his brother. It was selfless and kind, just like Diana’s actions,” he confided, according to the paper Scottish Daily Express Burrell.

Harry subsequently had to settle for another alternative. When he was choosing a ring for Meghan Markle, he tried to make sure she had something of his mother. The large gem he had set in the yellow gold ring came from Botswana, where he and Meghan visited on their travels, the smaller ones were from Diana’s collection.

Harry and Meghan’s popularity continues to decline. More than half of Britons want to take their titles (8/2023):
