Prince Harry Sets the Record Straight on Sapphire Ring Rumors
In a surprising revelation, Prince Harry has put to rest long-standing rumors surrounding a cherished piece of jewelry that belonged to his late mother, Princess Diana.
The story, which has circulated for years, claimed that Harry had gifted Diana's iconic sapphire ring to his brother, Prince William, for his proposal to Kate Middleton.
However, Harry has clarified that this narrative is far from the truth.
The confusion stems from comments made by Paul Burrell, the former butler to Princess Diana.
In a documentary titled “The Diana Story,” Burrell suggested that Harry had handed over the ring to William as a symbol of brotherly love.
But in his memoir, “Spare,” Harry firmly states that he never possessed the ring and was unaware of William's proposal plans until after the fact.
During a trip to Lesotho, Africa, Harry recalls spending quality time with William.
He emphasizes that at no point did his brother mention any intention of proposing to Kate.
This revelation casts doubt on the notion that the ring was a thoughtful gift born out of a special moment between the two brothers.
Harry shared his thoughts on the media coverage surrounding this story.
He noted how the press painted a romantic picture of the brothers bonding over the ring, describing it as a “tender moment” that simply never happened.
