The Princess of Wales Shares Rare Comments About Late Mother-in-Law Princess Diana, Reveals They Wear the Same Ring Size

Kate Middleton

Though the memory of the late Princess Diana is no doubt always present in her home and in her family, the Princess of Wales rarely speaks about the mother-in-law she never knew. But, just in time for her twelfth wedding anniversary with husband Prince William, Kate revealed a beautiful detail about the sapphire and diamond engagement ring that was once Diana’s: In a meant to be, straight out of a movie script detail, Diana and Kate wear the same ring size, so, when William proposed, the ring didn’t even have to be altered to fit Kate’s hand. (Pass the tissues, please.)

During a visit to Wales on Thursday with William, Kate revealed to a well-wisher who asked about her iconic engagement ring that it was not only the “same ring” as Diana’s, but, as she looked down at her hand, Kate remarked that it was “exactly the same—the same size.” (Check out this video shared on Instagram by @all.thats.pretty.)
