"William and Kate"

The Royal Wedding And Remembrance Of Our Beloved Princess Diana

The one person who will be missed dearly at her son Williams wedding to Kate Middleton, is Princess Diana herself...Princess Diana's spirit will certainly be felt throughout Westminster Abbey, as she herself took her own, Prince (Prince Charles) as her husband there in 1981. In a horrible turn of events Diana, this gifted, giving, loving woman,  was also sadly and ironically mourned and remembered in Westminster abbey.  After Diana's tragic death on August 31,1997 we watched as her two little boys carried on throughout their lives and that vision of them preceding behind their mothers casket with their heads down, struggling with their emotions past hundreds of thousands of people, that is a sight I will never forget...I was glued to the television that September afternoon with my beloved grandma by my side as we watched the emotional service of the late Diana (Princess of Wales).

After Princess Diana’s tragic death, the former Prime Minister John Major, who was appointed guardian to Prince William and Prince Harry will be in attendance, as well as Princess Diana’s brother Earl Spencer and other members of her family. Elton John, who sang at Diana’s funeral and was very close with Diana and the boys, as they would referred to him as "Uncle Elton" will also be in attendance at the 2011 Royal Wedding of Prince William to Kate Middleton.

Apr 21, 2011 Prince William took his bride-to-be Kate Middleton on an emotional visit to his mother Princess Diana's tomb days before the royal wedding.

Prince William popped the question to Kate Middleton using Princess Diana's 18 carat diamond and sapphire engagement ring. The ring has huge emotional significance for William as his iconic mother, chose it after she got engaged to Prince Charles in 1981. 

'It is very special to me,' William said about his choice of rings 'It was my way to make sure my mother did not miss out on today. 

Prince William's homage to his mother highlights the close relationship he had with the late Diana -- a bond that will never be broken and a shadow from which Kate Middleton will never escape. 

No one was more surprised than Kate Middleton when Prince William gave her Princess Diana's oval sapphire engagement ring... Why? Because it was actually Prince Harry, who received it after his beloved mother died.

Following their mother's tragic death in 1997, Prince Charles took Harry and William to visit Kensington Palace, Diana's home, where they selected mementos from their mom’s possessions. Prince Harry chose the ring and Prince William chose Diana's 18K yellow gold Cartier Tank Francaise watch that she used to teach him the time.

Harry was happy to give the ring to his brother. "He loves William and thinks it's only right that one day the woman sitting next to the King will be wearing his mother's ring. That's the way Diana would have wanted it."

The ring, a 18 carat sapphire surrounded by 14 rounds of diamonds set in 18k of white gold, cost over $40,000 or ($65,000 as some have stated) when Prince Charles purchased it back in 1981. Of course, now because of its association with Diana, the magnificent piece of jewelry is considered priceless.
