Princess Kate’s recent appearance at the Festival of Remembrance, where she wore her famous sapphire engagement ring — once owned by Princess Diana — has sparked a flurry of discussion among royal observers and jewelry experts.
For the first time in months, the Princess of Wales, 42, publicly donned the ring, which has become a symbol of continuity within the Royal Family. Many are speculating that the gesture carries a deeper message of respect and connection to the family’s legacy.
Jewelry experts believe Kate’s decision to wear the ring, originally inherited by Prince Harry but later passed to Prince William, highlights her reverence for Diana’s memory and her role within the royal lineage. Tobias Kormind, Managing Director of 77 Diamonds, pointed out that the ring was famously worn by Diana even after her divorce from Prince Charles, and now serves as a link between generations. “It speaks to a strong sense of continuity and perhaps a subtle nod to Kate’s appreciation for the Royal Family,” Kormind said in an interview with GB News.
The Festival of Remembrance, which took place ahead of Remembrance Sunday, saw Kate attending the solemn event at the Cenotaph, dressed in a timeless black Catherine Walker coat dress.
