The Princess has not revealed this special detail about her engagement ring before and it was a sweet revelation that the Princesses both shared the same size and alterations were not necessary.
This is perhaps one of the most iconic pieces of royal jewelry and was first selected by Princess Diana as her engagement ring to Prince Charles. When the late Princess of Wales died, this ring passed onto her son Prince William, who then used this ring to propose to Catherine in 2010 while on holiday in Africa.
In one of the best celebrity engagement stories, William revealed that he had been hiding the engagement ring in his bag throughout their holiday in Kenya and he was extremely worried about losing this priceless family heirloom. Thankfully, he did not lose the ring - and it fit perfectly!
In addition to talking to the royal fan about her engagement ring, the Princess also spoke about how she believes she would have been a wonderful grandmother to her three children.
"I never, sadly, got to meet her," said Kate to the fan. She was then asked about Princess Diana as a grandmother and said, "She’d be brilliant," she then added sadly on behalf of her children and husband, "We miss her every day."
The Princess wears three rings on her ring finger, this includes her sapphire and diamond engagement ring from Prince William and two other less expensive pieces. Kate also wears a wedding ring made from a lump of yellow Welsh gold that has been used to create wedding rings in the Royal Family for decades.
Kate Middleton's eternity ring made from white gold and diamonds is the third piece of jewelry that she wears on her ring finger. This is the latest addition to her marital jewelry set and sits on top of her other rings. These three rings can often be seen on the Princess' finger as she wears them in a neatly stacked style.
