Prince Harry’s attempt to honor Princess Diana began long before the royal wedding took place. When the prince first decided he wanted to take the next step in his relationship with Meghan Markel, he even honored his mother in the ring he gave to his future bride. The engagement ring was crafted with his mother’s diamonds.
In a joint interview with his future bride and Elle magazine, Harry explained that “It’s days like today that I really I miss having her around and being able to share the happy news, but with the ring, and with everything else going on, I’m sure she’s with us.”
