Though it has been misreported in the past that Prince Harry was bequeathed Princess Diana’s iconic sapphire and diamond engagement ring and later gave it to brother Prince William to propose to Kate Middleton with, it was William that actually inherited the ring as part of Diana’s will, in which the late Princess of Wales wrote down several final wishes. The original document, per The Daily Express, was signed by Diana on June 1, 1993 (one month before her thirty-second birthday) and amended in 1996. Diana, of course, would have had no idea that she would die in a car accident the next year, on August 31, 1997, at just 36 years old.
