They faced the media on Tuesday in London as an affianced couple for the first time with Kate wearing a ring that first belonged to the late Princess Diana.

William popped the question to Kate while on holidays in Kenya a month ago. The ring, an oval sapphire cushioned in diamonds was also Diana’s engagement ring. “It’s my mother’s engagement ring, so of course it’s very special to me,” the prince said. “This was my way of making sure that my mother didn’t miss out on today.”
