The Princess of Wale, Kate Middleton is preparing for a grand Christmas Carol Concert on December 6, with royal fans eagerly anticipating a special change at the event.
As the festive season draws near, the Princess has decided to surprise her admirers by bringing a notable shift to her usual attire for this year’s highly anticipated event.
Kate, who is set to host the concert at Westminster Abbey, is expected to wear her iconic sapphire engagement ring, which has become one of her signature pieces of jewelry.
The sapphire ring, once belonging to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, has a rich history and is a much-recognized symbol of the royal family. It features a stunning 12-carat oval sapphire, surrounded by 14 diamonds, set in white gold. The deep blue sapphire has long captivated royal watchers and is often seen at high-profile occasions.
Jewelry expert James Harris, speaking to GB News, explained that the Princess typically reserves the ring for significant royal events. "It’s very likely that Kate will wear her engagement ring during the Christmas Carol concert this year, as she often does for public events, especially those with royal significance," Harris said.
"Her iconic sapphire ring is almost always visible at high-profile events and was photographed at last year’s concert while she took on hosting duties."
For those unfamiliar, the ring has been a central piece in royal history, having been passed down to Kate by her husband, Prince William. It was originally given to Princess Diana by Prince Charles in 1981, and since then, it has become one of the most famous royal pieces of jewellery.
This year’s concert holds additional personal significance for Kate, as it will be her first major public event since her chemotherapy treatments.
Her strength and resilience throughout this time have garnered widespread admiration, and her return to hosting duties is seen as a symbol of her commitment to her royal responsibilities.
