Prince Harry Could Be Designing an Engagement Ring

If you’re a regular reader of gossip columns, you’ll know all about the ups and downs of Prince Harry’s love life. Although he has had a couple of serious relationships over the years, tabloids have mostly portrayed him as a cheeky bachelor unlikely to ever settle down. Now, it seems like that could all be about to change…

Harry began dating Suits actress Meghan Markle in the latter half of 2016, and by all accounts the pair look to be crazy in love. He even released an official statement requesting that paparazzi stop harassing Meghan and invading her privacy. In the last couple of weeks, rumours have been circulating that the younger Prince could be gearing up to propose.

Everyone knows how beautiful Kate Middleton’s engagement ring from Prince William is. The stunning oval sapphire is surrounded by white diamonds and set in platinum, and it was their mother Princess Diana’s engagement ring from Prince Charles. After Diana’s death, the brothers made an arrangement that one would keep her ring while the other would keep another favourite jewellery item of hers, a Cartier watch. Harry initially had the ring, but they swapped when it was clear that William would be the first to get engaged.

Which means Harry now has some engagement ring shopping to do. And he has a lot to live up to…

According to The Express, Prince Harry could be following William’s lead and looking to his late mother for engagement ring inspiration. They suspect that he has chosen a very special jewellery item – Diana’s emerald and diamond tiara – to transform into an engagement ring. Apparently Meghan loves emeralds, and Harry sees this as the perfect way to honour the two most important women in his life.

Whether this means actually taking some gemstones from this piece for Meghan’s engagement ring or just using it as inspiration, we may not know for a while. And we also have no indication that there’s any truth to this story whatsoever – but still, we’re very excited at the prospect of another royal wedding!
