The ring was actually originally supposed to have been worn not by Prince William’s wife, but by Prince Harry’s (!).
For brides-to-be, everyone wants to see the ring—at least everyone in her immediate circle. But when Kate Middleton was a bride, literallyit hadn’t once belonged to her late mother-in-law Princess Diana, one of the most famous pieces of jewelry in modern history.
The ring—a 12-carat blue sapphire engagement ring surrounded by 14 solitaire diamonds—is a piece that Kate reportedly adores and has since the moment Prince William proposed to her in Kenya in 2010. But, just before their wedding day on April 29, 2011,reports “Kate actually had the ring altered—as she found the band was too big and ‘turning on her finger.’”
The outlet reports the ring was taken to royal jeweler G Collins and Sons, “who made the tweak so it would fit better,” the outlet writes. “However, rather than resizing the band, small platinum beads are believed to have been attached inside the bottom of the ring, to give it a better fit.”that the now Duchess of Cambridge “adores” the ring, but it was just too big for her finger.
“A bride’s worst nightmare is looking down and seeing her ring has fallen off,” the source says. “One can only imagine how this is magnified when you are marrying the future King of England.” Another interesting tidbit about the ring? It was actually originally supposed to be worn by Meghan—though, at the time, no one had any idea who Harry would eventually marry.
