SincePrince Williamand Harry inherited their mother’s jewelry collection, very little of it has been seen in public. But some pieces have beengiven to the royals’ wives.
Prince Williampoignantly gave the diamond and sapphire sparkler that was Diana’s engagement ring toKate Middletonwhen he proposed in 2010, a lovely reminder that she was with them on their royal wedding day.
Lucia, who died last year at her home in Brazil at 76, “bought it to replace the engagement ring Diana no longer wanted to wear once her marriage ended,” veteran royals journalist Richard Kay (who was a friend of Diana’s) writes in theDaily Mail.
